Application of Aluminothermic Welding of Rails on Crane Rails

Exothermic welding was founded at the end of the 19th century when H. Goldschmidt discovered aluminum powder and metal oxides can be caused by an external heat source to start an exothermic reaction, and once the reaction can continue by itself, the general formula of this reaction is:

metal oxide + aluminum (powder) → alumina + metal + thermal energy

Exothermic welding can mainly weld such as pure copper, brass, bronze, red copper, copper-clad steel, pure iron, stainless steel, wrought iron, galvanized steel, cast iron, etc.

 

Aluminothermic Welding of Rails on Crane Rails

 

Today, let's discuss the application of aluminothermic welding on crane rails.

 

Usefully, The crane is a double-girder structure, the crane rails run on the tracks of the main girder bridge. The rails of the main beams designed in China are generally mechanically in segmented and gaped connection, In the other words, they are ground or processed at the interface according to the length of the supply, they are formed by close joints.

The rail welding method, until now, there are mainly adopted gas pressure welding, contact resistance welding, manual arc welding, and aluminothermic welding. 

A few days ago, one of my customers from Malaysia ask us to support technology to upgrade the arc welding machine. Actually, arc welding quality is unstable, the serious defect such as slag and porosity can directly cause a break of welded rail. That’s why the Chinese market directly eliminates the welding method of arc welding.

Aluminothermic welding is applied to mine cranes and gantry tracks in various factories. The crane rails such as QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120, A100, A120, CR73, etc.

This aluminothermic welding process is characterized by simple equipment, convenient operation, high efficiency, good adaptability to working conditions, and stable quality. The fact that the welded railhead does not need to be treated, and the quality control of the entire welding process is performed by the fixed parameters of preheating time, oxygen flow, and liquefied gas pressure, which is easy for operators, will not be affected by other factors. The whole welding process of a single railhead is around 1 hour, which saves time and labor compared with other welding methods.

THE BEST USE OF LED VANITY MIRRORS

图片
The lighting capability of  LED Mirrors  is almost similar to natural lights. This mirror serves the dual purpose of making a place look beautiful and assistance in self-grooming to people. However, they are more acknowledged for decorating the place. They give a clear vision and are feasible to view yourself than any other form of lighting. They are not only used at homes but in offices, hotels, and boutiques. These mirrors are brilliant to uplift the aura of the place. They provide a classy environment with high energy efficiency. The environmentally friendly characteristic makes them extremely desirable.    WHAT IS AN LED MIRROR? An LED mirror in simple terms is a mirror with the addition of LED bulbs. This could be anything from strip lights around the side of the mirror to create a ‘back-lit’ effect or bulbs straight on the front to create a vintage vanity LED mirror style.  LED mirrors come in all shapes, sizes and styles so you’ll always be able to find one that suits the space

Are Drone Motors AC or DC?

图片
  In the realm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals alike often find themselves pondering the intricacies of their intricate components. Among these components, the type of motor that powers a drone is a topic of keen interest. Are   drone motors   AC or DC? This seemingly simple question holds the key to understanding the core of drone technology. In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the world of drone motors, exploring their design, functionality, and the power source that drives these aerial wonders. So, without further ado, let's take flight into the realm of drone motor technology. AC or DC: The Heart of Drone Propulsion When we talk about drone motors, it's essential to grasp the fundamental distinction between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). These two electrical systems have contrasting characteristics and applications, which play a pivotal role in defining the operation of drone motors. DC
