Container spare parts and lashings are made up of various accessories, most of which are made by casting or forging. For example, container corner castings is Casting and processing, hinges are cast and forged, and intermediate twist locks are made of cast shells and forged lock cylinders. For both, let’s take a look:

Forging is a processing method in which a forging press is used to apply pressure to a metal blank to cause plastic deformation to obtain a forged piece having a certain mechanical property, a certain shape and size.

By forging, it can eliminate the looseness of the as-cast state of the metal, weld the hole, and the mechanical properties of the forging are generally superior to those of the same material. For important parts with high load and severe working conditions in machinery, forgings are often used except for rolled sheets, profiles or welded parts that are simple in shape.

Casting is a process in which a metal is smelted into a liquid that meets certain requirements and poured into a mold, which is cooled and solidified and subjected to a treatment to obtain a casting (part or blank) having a predetermined shape, size and performance. It is the basic process of the modern machinery manufacturing industry.

The blank produced by casting is cheap, and it is more visible for parts with complex shapes, especially those with complex internal cavities.

Economical; at the same time it has a wide adaptability and good comprehensive mechanical properties. However, materials required for casting production (such as metal, wood, fuel, modeling materials, etc.) and equipment (such as metallurgical furnaces, sand mixers, molding machines, core making machines, falling sand machines, shot blasting machines, etc.) are more It will pollute the environment with dust, harmful gases and noise.
