Our main equipment includes 10 tons of electric hydraulic hammer, 10 tons of off-furnace refining equipment, vacuum degassing equipment and multiple electroslag remelting furnaces to ensure the high quality and technical content of products.

Charging Machine

A charging machine is a critical industrial device used to load raw materials (e.g., scrap metal, alloys) into furnaces or reactors during tool steel production.It ensures efficient, automated, and precise material handling, reducing manual labor and enhancing process consistency. Integrated with PLC systems, these machines optimize temperature control and material distribution, crucial for maintaining alloy composition and furnace efficiency in tool steel manufacturing. Features like argon injection for stirring molten steel (from ladle furnace practices) may also complement charging operations to ensure uniformity. Their automation reduces oxidation risks and improves safety in high-temperature environments.

Electic Furnace

Electic Furnace(EF)

The Electric Furnace (EF) is a heating device that utilizes electrical energy to generate high temperatures for industrial processes such as melting metals, heat treatment, or chemical reactions.The primary purpose is to achieve high-temperature processes with controlled conditions. For example, in steel production, it melts raw materials to produce high-quality steel alloys. In metallurgy, EF furnaces are critical for steelmaking, where electric arcs (in Electric Arc Furnaces, a subset of EF) or induction heating melt scrap metal or raw materials efficiently and with precise temperature control.

Electroslag Remelting (ESR)

It is a metallurgical process used to refine metal alloys, primarily steel and superalloys. In this process, an electric arc is generated between a consumable electrode and a molten slag bath, which allows the metal to melt and be refined. The molten metal flows through the slag and solidifies in a controlled manner, resulting in a cleaner product with improved chemical homogeneity, reduced impurities, and enhanced mechanical properties. Electroslag Remelting is widely employed in industries where high-quality materials are critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and tool manufacturing.

Ladle Furnace (LF)

Ladle Furnace (LF)

The Ladle Furnace (LF) is a secondary steelmaking unit that refines molten steel after primary melting (e.g., in an Electric Arc Furnace). It reheats steel via electric arcs, adjusts composition (alloying), removes impurities (desulfurization via slag, argon stirring), and ensures temperature uniformity. This enhances steel quality, consistency, and enables tailored grades for industries like automotive and construction.

Ingot Casting

Ingot casting of tool steel is a process used to produce large, solid blocks (ingots) of tool steel that can later be further processed into various shapes and sizes for tools and industrial applications. Tool steels are high-performance steels specifically designed for their ability to withstand deformation and temperature, making them ideal for cutting, shaping, and forming materials.

Annealing Furnace

Annealing Furnace

An annealing furnace is a thermal processing device used to heat materials, typically metals or glass, to a predetermined temperature and then cool them at a controlled rate. This process alleviates internal stresses, refines grain structure, and improves ductility and machinability, enhancing the material’s overall performance. Annealing is crucial in manufacturing and metallurgy, ensuring components achieve desired properties for various applications. The furnaces can be electric or gas-fired and come in various types, such as batch or continuous, tailored to meet specific industrial requirements.

Sawing Machine

A sawing machine for tool steel is a specialized industrial equipment designed to cut through hard metals like tool steel, which is known for its durability and resistance to deformation. These machines typically utilize high-speed saw blades made from tougher materials, such as carbide or high-speed steel, to achieve precise and efficient cutting. They can operate in various modes, including band sawing and circular sawing, and are essential in manufacturing and metalworking industries for shaping tool steel into desired sizes and forms for further processing.

Peeling Machine

Peeling Machine

A peeling machine for tool steel is a specialized piece of equipment used in the manufacturing process to remove material from the surface of tool steel bars or rods. The primary purpose is to achieve precise dimensions and improve surface quality. The peeling process typically involves rotating the steel workpiece against a cutting tool, which shaves off a thin layer of material, resulting in a smooth, uniform finish.

Turning/Milling Machined

Turning and milling are machining processes used to shape tool steel into precise geometries required for various applications. Turning involves rotating the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool, typically performed on a lathe, to create cylindrical shapes, while milling involves cutting the workpiece with a rotating tool to produce complex surfaces, slots, and contours, typically performed on a milling machine. Both processes require careful selection of cutting tools and parameters to manage tool wear, achieve desired surface finishes, and maintain dimensional accuracy, making them essential for manufacturing high-quality tool steel components used in tooling and machinery.

01.

Material Remelting

First, tool steel scrap and alloy materials are gathered for recycling and composition. These materials are then melted in an electric furnace to achieve a molten state before being transferred to a refining furnace for further purification. This process includes vacuum degassing to remove any dissolved gases, which significantly enhances the steel quality.

02.

Ingot Casting & Forging

Once purified, the molten steel is cast into ingots, forming the initial shape, and these ingots then undergo a forging process where they are shaped under high pressure. Additional forging refines the dimensions to meet specific requirements, followed by annealing to relieve stresses and promote workability.

03.

Processing & Heat Treatment

After cooling, the material is machined and subjected to inspection fixation for precise dimensions. To enhance mechanical properties and harden the steel, heat treatment is applied, and a surface machine processes the steel to achieve a smooth finish.

04.

Quality inspection

Finally, an inspection phase ensures that all specifications meet quality standards before the finished tool steel is packed and prepared for shipment, thus ensuring safe delivery to customers. This streamlined process exemplifies the meticulous effort involved in producing reliable tool steel.
