Custom Steel Casting Services for Heavy-Duty Applications
Product Description
Yile Machinery is a premier foundry specializing in the production of large, complex, and heavy-section steel castings. We provide end-to-end manufacturing solutions, turning your technical drawings into high-quality, finished components ready for assembly.
The "Fork Plate" shown here is a prime example of our capability to produce intricate, mission-critical parts for demanding environments like the mining industry.
The Advantages of Steel Casting for Complex Components
For large and geometrically complex parts, casting is often the most efficient and cost-effective manufacturing method. It offers several key benefits:
Design Freedom: Casting allows for the creation of intricate internal and external shapes that are impossible or prohibitively expensive to produce by fabrication or machining from billet.
Material Versatility: We can pour a wide variety of carbon, alloy, and stainless steels, allowing you to select the perfect material properties (strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance) for your application.
Structural Integrity: A single, solid cast part can replace a complex assembly of welded plates and components, eliminating joints and potential failure points.
Our Comprehensive Casting & Finishing Process
We manage every step of production to ensure your parts meet the highest quality standards.
Pattern & Mold Making: We begin by creating a precise pattern of your component, which is then used to create a robust sand mold capable of handling molten steel.
Melting & Pouring: High-grade steel scrap and alloys are melted in our induction furnaces. The chemical composition is analyzed and adjusted before the molten metal is poured into the mold.
Cooling & Shakeout: The casting is allowed to cool under controlled conditions. Once solidified, it is removed from the sand mold in a process called shakeout.
Finishing & Heat Treatment: Risers and gates are removed, and the part is shot-blasted for a clean surface finish. The casting then undergoes specialized heat treatment (e.g., normalizing, quenching, tempering) to achieve the required mechanical properties.
Precision Machining: If required, the finished casting is moved to our CNC machine shop for final machining to tight tolerances.
Rigorous Quality Assurance
Quality is built into our process and verified at every stage.
Chemical Analysis: We use a spectrometer to verify the exact chemical composition of every heat.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): We perform Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), and Radiographic Testing (RT) to ensure the casting is free of internal and external defects.
Dimensional Inspection: We use CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) and other metrology tools to verify that all dimensions match your drawings.
Applications for Our Custom Castings
Our heavy-duty steel castings are used in a wide range of demanding industries:
Mining & Earthmoving: Excavator and loader structural components, suspension parts, bucket adapters.
