The applications of stainless steel hydraulic cylinders

 Stainless steel hydraulic cylinders are used in applications where corrosion resistance is the utmost priority. Standard cylinders are made from combinations of alloy steel, such as 1020, 1045 and 4140, which are all susceptible to oxidation and rust in humid or wet applications. Even when epoxy painted, carbon steel cylinders exposed to surface abrasion, dents or harsh chemicals can wear away any paint, leaving exposed steel to corrode.

Marine environments often require the usage of stainless steel hydraulic cylinders, both onshore and offshore. Saltwater is especially damaging to standard alloy steel, which will rust rapidly when exposed to saline. Maritime cylinders used for cranes, boat lifts, davits or other machinery do well when made from stainless steel alloys.

Offshore oil rigs are especially prone to aqueous corrosion, and although special construction and coatings can mitigate some oxidation, the nature of pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders makes them more prone to corrosion. Manufacturing cylinders in 316-grade stainless steel produces an especially resistant raw material for offshore applications.

Application of 4140 chrome bar

Image
4140 is a 1% Chromium - Molybdenum high tensile steel supplied in the hardened and tempered, cold drawn or turned, precision ground, polished, chrome plated and final polished condition, with a typical base metal tensile strength of 850 - 1000 Mpa, plus a typical hard chrome plated surface hardness of HV 1000 - 1150.Characterised by an extremely smooth surface finish with excellent wear and corrosion resistance, coupled with a base material giving high strength and good impact properties, plus good machinability. 4140 hard chrome plated bar is used extensively by the hydraulic and pneumatic industries, and is employed by other industry sectors for a wide range of applications requiring higher strength. Typical applications are: Agricultural Equipment, Hydraulic Cylinders , Hoists, Jacks and other Lifting equipment, Machine Tools, Mining and Earth Moving Equipment, Pumps, Valves, Waste Disposal Transport and Equipment etc. Anbao Hydraulic is a professional manufacturer in

Cold working method for cold drawn seamless steel pipe

Cold working method for cold drawn seamless steel pipe The cold working method of   seamless steel pipe ,  includes cold rolling and cold drawing method to produce a complete set of equipment for the pipe. It is a unit for deep processing of hot rolled pipe or welded pipe. The production characteristics of cold-rolled precision steel pipe processing pipe unit is that the pipe material is usually subjected to multiple cold deformations and work hardening from the input to the finished product. Therefore, the whole production process consists of multiple preparation processes and deformation processes, and has the characteristics of reciprocating cycle. This will involve  many processes, long production cycle, large metal consumption, low production efficiency, high precision, bright and smooth inner and outer surfaces, no peeling, no cracks, no pits. Different processing methods and corresponding auxiliary processes are selected according to the processing properties of the metal, the p
