High-Chromium Wear Parts Without High Mo

1. Haitian Heavy Industry System-Based Manufacturing Approach

Our solution integrates four core systems:

1) Precise Carbon Content Control System

During melting, Haitian Heavy Industry implements:

· Real-time chemical composition monitoring

· Furnace-side chemical analysis display

· Automatic rejection of out-of-spec molten iron

This ensures stable carbon balance and batch consistency.

2) High-Purity Metallurgical Process

To reduce inclusions and impurities, we apply:

· Strict raw material selection

· Slag removal during smelting

· Furnace bottom residue cleaning

· Argon gas refining for inclusion flotation

In addition, bending sensitivity tests are used to verify metallurgical quality.

3) Dense Casting Technology (DISA Molding Line)

We use advanced DISA automatic molding systems to:

· Optimize gating system design

· Improve feeding and solidification control

· Reduce shrinkage and porosity defects

· Enhance structural integrity

This significantly reduces crack initiation risk.

4) Optimized Heat Treatment System

Heat treatment is controlled through standardized curves:

· Precise quenching temperature control

· Stable soaking time

· Optimized cooling medium selection

· Reduced internal–external hardness difference

Result: improved uniformity and impact resistance.

5) Role of Mo: Life Extension, Not Crack Prevention

Mo mainly provides:

· Improved hardenability

· Better hardness uniformity

· Extended wear life

But it does NOT eliminate structural cracking caused by casting or process defects.

2. Real Application Case Studies (Verified Engineering Results)
