Valve casting pressure testing

 

In-Depth Analysis of Hot Cracks

1.Sources of Stress Concentration:

● Sudden changes in wall thickness due to complex structures

● Cyclic loads under marine operating conditions

● Accelerated crack propagation due to seawater corrosion environment

 

2.Challenges in Cooling Systems:

✓ Significant temperature differences between deck and compartments

✓ Unstable seawater cooling rate

✓ Complex phase transformation stresses in materials

 

Leadtek Fluid's Innovative Processes

For the specific requirements of Marine Valve Castings:
