How To Choose The Cylinder Barrel Materials

 The cylinder barrel in which the piston operates must be made of a high-strength material, usually steel. It must be as light as possible, yet have the proper characteristics for operating under high temperatures. It must be made of a good bearing material and have high tensile strength. The cylinder barrel is made of a steel alloy forging with the inner surface hardened to resist wear of the piston and the piston rings which bear against it.

This hardening is usually done by exposing the steel to ammonia or cyanide gas while the steel is very hot. The steel soaks up nitrogen from the gas, which forms iron nitrides on the exposed surface. As a result of this process, the metal is said to be nitrided. This nitriding only penetrates into the barrel surface a few thousands of an inch. As the cylinder barrels wear due to use, they can be repaired by chroming. This is a process that plates chromium on the surface of the cylinder barrel and brings it back to new standard dimensions. Chromium-plated cylinders should use cast iron rings. Honing the cylinder walls is a process that brings it to the correct dimensions and provides crosshatch pattern for seating the piston rings during engine break-in. Some engine cylinder barrels are choked at the top, or they are smaller in diameter to allow for heat expansion and wear.

As a professional cylinder barrel manufacturer and supplier, Anbao Hydraulic has been supplying and exporting cylinder barrel tube from for almost 23 years.Generally, the annealed cold-drawn or hot-rolled seamless steel tube is used as the workblank of cylinder barrel. The semi-finished product with honed or accurately machined inner hole is available on the market, which may be cut into seamless steel tubes of the required length. Optional materials include E355 ST52,CK45,4140,16Mn, SAE1518,SAE4145 42CrMo,Stainless Steel 304/316,Duplex 2205,etc.  20#, 35#, 45# steel and 27SiMn alloy steel.

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

The Production Process Of Chrome Plated OD Tubing

  Chrome plated od tubing is also known as chrome plated hollow bar ,chrome plated tubing a very important part for producing hydraulic piston rods and roller shafts in various machines. The biggest advantage of chrome plated od tubing than normal chrome plated rod is that the unit weight is light, people can greatly reduce the weight of the hydraulic piston rod, when design the hydraulic cylinders . The Production Process Of Chrome Plated OD Tubing Step 1. Get the steel tubes heat treated as per customers’ request. Step 2. Cutting the raw material hollow rod into lengths Step 3. Straightening the hollow rods Step 4. Peeling on the steel hollow rods Step 5. Straightenning Step 6. Grinding the steel hollow rods Step 7. Straightening the ground hollow bars. Step 8. The second grinding process Step 9. Polishing on outer diameter surface Step 10. Chrome plating Step 11. Final polishing Step 12. Final inspection Anbao Hydrualic is a professional  chrome plated ID tubing and hollow bar m
