Alloy Wheels Manufacturing Plant

The wheel is a mechanical device, which provides rotary motion by means of a disk or circular frame revolving on an axis. The steel wheel can be used in heavy load and traction services. The size and contour of a specific wheel design is based on the load it must carry and the space limitations of the equipment on which it is used. The contour of the wheel is normally composed compose of five parts: the hub, plate, rim, tread and flange. Classifications based on the service to which the wheels are applied are defined as: 1. Industrial car wheels for use on various cars such as those used in mining, railroads and transfer cars; 2. Crane truck wheels, for use in traveling, gantry, bridge cranes and floor-type changing and drawing machines; 3. Railroad freight car wheels, used according to their capacity and application, and 4. Heavy duty wheels, for use under railroad and electric railway cars, rapid transit passenger cars and locomotives. Most wheels for railway or industrial services are manufactured either by forming a solid block of metal by a sequence of hot forging and rolling operation, or by casting them directly from liquid metal into their final shapes. Mechanically speaking, steel castings are considered inferior to hot forging and rolling products. The casting of steel is, however, the most direct method of producing a given shape. For this reason, this method provides the basis for a key industry. in boiling water. A 1.5% solution is clear and when it is cooled to 34-43°C it forms a firm gel which does not melt again below 85°C. It is a mixture of polysaccharides whose basic monomer is galactose. These polysaccharides can be sulphated in very variable degrees but to a lesser degree than in carrageenan. For this reason the ash content is below those of carrageenan, furcelleran (Danish agar) and others. A 5% maximum ash content is acceptable for agar although it is normally maintained between 2.5-4%.
