Zhongyuan Heavy Forging: Built Tough for Motor & Turbine Shafts
If spinning heavy machines is your business, then the shaft is basically the core component where all the power is transmitted. At Zhongyuan Heavy Forging, we are experts in making motor and steam turbine shafts that have been designed to operate under high torque loads and continuous rotations without failure.
As the material used, our regular grade C45 carbon steel is good enough to do a lot of work without breaking or getting too easily deformed. We enhance its tensile strength beyond 600 MPa with a yield point higher than 355 MPa thereby providing it with the solid core needed to carry heavy loads without bending or flexing. It is also characterized by an elongation of 16% minimum and the Charpy energy test values reaching 39J which means that these shafts are not just resistant to breaking but are also shock absorbing while continuing their operation. Moreover, the hardness remains below 229HBW, so it does not only machine smoothly but also has good wear resistance.
The truth is that the figures in the specification only show one side of the story. The most important is the forging and the heat treatment process. Besides the physical form, it is through this process and the grain refinement that internal defects or voids are minimized and a part capable of resisting stress caused by vibration, thermal cycling and high speed operation is produced. Our products can be running a huge motor or being part of a steam turbine, the shafts maintain their dimensions year after year.
Each application has its own unique set of requirements. Require a specialized flange configuration? Do you need a customized keyway? Or perhaps you want to use a totally new material alloy to withstand corrosive elements? We'll tailor the properties of the metal and the manufacturing process according to the specifics of your application.
In Zhongyuan, we believe metal components come in various forms, but their primary function is to operate smoothly within the industrial setting without fail. The precision and reliability of our components are what ultimately power your production and turbine operations, so they have to be as perfect as the processes they drive.
