WHAT IS THE BEST MATERIAL FOR HYDRAULIC CYLINDER TUBE AND ROD

 An important factor that when manufacturing hydraulic cylinder tube and rod,the quality of steel materials. Datong Hydraulic work with the best materials for durable, high performance hydraulic cylinder tube and rod.

Ideal properties for hydraulic cylinder materials include resistance to wear and corrosion, light weight, machinability, and low cost. Here are some of the most commonly used materials:

STAINLESS STEEL TYPE 304

Type 304 Stainless is one of the most widely used materials in hydraulic cylinder barrel and piston rod. Type 304 Steel is not only resistant to corrosion but is also easily available and environmentally friendly. Stainless steel 304 is durable in acidic environments and does not wear easily.

TITANIUM ALLOY GRADE 

When used to manufacture hydraulic cylinders, titanium grade provides corrosion resistance and impeccable strength. It is also easy to machine or form, and is relatively lightweight for its strength - one of the best properties to look for in a material. For all the advantages of titanium, it is expensive due to the energy-intensive ore extraction process.

LOW ALLOY STEEL

To get this material (a broad category rather than a single metal), steel is alloyed with different metals to create a composite metal with the desired properties. In addition to being cheap, low alloy steel is resistant to wear, corrosion and abrasion. It also works well with oils, fuels and solvents.

NICKEL-CHROMIUM ALLOYS

This alloy has a high tensile strength and is resistant to a good number of corrosive media, making it suitable for use in the manufacture of hydraulic pistons. It is also environmentally friendly, has great machinability and can be welded easily. The only disadvantage associated with this material is the relatively high price tag.

LOW CARBON STEEL

Low carbon steel is not only easily available but also cheap. The material is malleable and very durable in oil and fuel. However, low carbon steel will yield easily and its use in an acidic environment is quite limited.

40CR ALLOY STEEL SPECIFICATION

  40Cr steel  is a kind of Chinese GB standard alloy steel for engineering and machinery purpose, and one of the most widely used steel grades. For 40Cr material hardness, specifications and equivalent, please see the table below. After quenching and tempering treatment, 40Cr steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties, low temperature impact toughness, low notch sensitivity, good hardenability, and high fatigue strength in cold oil. When water cooling, the complicated shape of the parts is prone to cracks, the cold bending plasticity is medium, and the cutting workability after normalizing is good, but the weldability is poor, should be preheated before welding, and is generally used in the state of quenching and tempering. DATASHEET & SPECIFICATION The tables below list 40Cr alloy steel datasheet and specification including chemical composition, properties and heat treatment, etc. 40CR STEEL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION   Chemical Composition (%) Grade C % Si Mn Cr 40Cr 0.37 – 0.4

Skiving &Roller Burnishing Tube And Honing Tube

Image
Skiving and roller burnishing tube  process provide high quality hydraulic cylinders with final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. They are used in the manufacturing of  hydraulic cylinders . Compared to honing process, they are 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length and produces super finish surface, with a bore tolerance of IT8, thereby reduces the sealing wear making it ideal for pistons. The skiving tool is a multifunctional tool used in the manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders. Skiving is operated like this: Two thin chips are cut at a high feed rate (1-4 mm/rev) while the tool passes through the work piece. This cutting operation determines the finished diameter and tolerance of the hydraulic tube. Surface finish Ra= 4-10 μm (skiving) Skiving has obvious advantages compared with honing: • 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length. • Produ

What is Hydraulic Ram Cylinder?

Image
  Hydraulic ram cylinders   are typically used to give vertical motion, including lifting loads in a vertical direction. Such a cylinder is also used to provide the motion in a horizontal direction but needs attention and suitable guides to guide the motion. Single-acting hydraulic cylinders that have no pistons but have large  cylinder rod s are called rams. These rams operate exactly like the conventional single acting hydraulic  cylinders. However, they use large diameter rods in place of pistons and piston seals in their designs. Thus, in place of pistons, rams have high-pressure cap-end ports. They also do not have any low-pressure rod-end ports. Rams are generally cheaper than their conventional single-acting cylinders counterparts.
