Alloy Steel Forging Wheel Blanks For Quay Crane, Bridge Crane, Container Crane

Alloy Steel Forging Wheel Blanks For Quay Crane, Bridge Crane, Container Crane.Our Alloy Steel Forging Wheel Blanks are the robust, high-integrity foundation for wheels in heavy-duty lifting equipment like Quay Cranes, Bridge Cranes, and Container Cranes. Meticulously forged from high-grade alloy steel, these blanks offer superior strength and durability, crucial for supporting immense loads and enduring constant movement in demanding port and industrial environments. They are the initial, solid forms from which precision crane wheels are expertly machined.

Product Features

• Exceptional Strength & Toughness: High-grade alloy steel forging delivers superior strength, hardness, and toughness for extreme loads.
• Superior Fatigue Resistance: Forging refines grain structure, offering outstanding resistance to fatigue and stress cracking from continuous cycles.
• Enhanced Wear Resistance: Inherent properties and forging lead to highly wear-resistant material for prolonged wheel life.
• Optimal Internal Homogeneity: Forging eliminates defects, ensuring a uniform and dense material structure for consistent performance.
• Customizable for Precision: Blanks are supplied for subsequent machining to precise dimensions and profiles for various crane wheel types.
• Excellent Heat Treatability: Alloy steel responds well to heat treatments, allowing for specific hardness profiles for maximum durability.

Application Scenarios

These alloy steel forged wheel blanks are essential for the traveling mechanisms of large, critical heavy-duty cranes:

• Quay Cranes (Ship-to-Shore Cranes): Wheels for traversing along quay rails, enabling container loading/unloading from ships.
• Bridge Cranes (Overhead Cranes): Wheels that allow the crane bridge to travel on runway beams in industrial facilities for material movement.
• Container Cranes (Gantry Cranes, RTGs, RMGs): Large wheels for movement in container yards, used for stacking and moving containers efficiently.
• Steel Mills & Foundries: High-temperature, heavy-load applications for moving molten metal or heavy steel coils.
• Shipyards: Used for large gantry cranes in ship construction and repair.

The steel forgings production flow:

Raw material steel ingot into warehouse(test the chemical composition) → Cutting→ Heating(Furnace temperature test) → Heat treatment after forging(Furnace temperature test) Discharge the furnace(blank inspection)→ Machining→ Inspection(UT,MT,Visal dimension, hardness)→ QT→ Inspection(UT, mechanical properties, hardness, grain size)→ Finish machining→ Inspection (dimension)→ Packing and Marking(steel stamp, mark)→ Storage Shipment.
