Structure and Application of T-Type Slot Cast Iron Platform Plate
The T-type slot cast iron platform plate, as a widely used tool in the industrial field, has a unique structure and extensive application areas, making it an indispensable basic equipment in various industries such as machinery manufacturing, chemical engineering, hardware, and more. This article will delve into the structural characteristics, manufacturing processes, application fields, as well as maintenance and care of the T-type slot cast iron platform plate, aiming to provide readers with an in-depth understanding.

I. Structural Characteristics of the T-Type Slot Cast Iron Platform Plate
As the name suggests, the T-type slot cast iron platform plate features a series of regular T-shaped slots on its surface. This design not only provides the platform with greater functionality and flexibility but also enhances work efficiency. The presence of T-slots allows various fixtures and workpieces to be easily secured on the platform, ensuring stability and accuracy whether for processing or large-scale assembly.
T-type slot cast iron platform plates are typically made of high-strength cast iron (such as HT200-300), with a working surface hardness generally ranging from HB170 to HB240. After two artificial treatments (artificial annealing at 600-700 degrees and natural aging for 2-3 years), the product's precision becomes more stable, and its wear resistance improves. Structurally, T-slot plates come in various forms such as ribbed plate type, single enclosure type, double enclosure type, and box type for users to choose from. They can also be customized with holes or drainage slots on the working surface based on operational needs.
Additionally, the accuracy grade of the T-type slot cast iron platform plate follows the national standard metrological verification regulations, typically divided into four grades: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Different grades correspond to different flatness tolerance requirements to meet various precision measurement and assembly needs. In terms of specifications, T-slot plates come in a wide range of sizes, commonly from 500×800mm to 4000×9000mm, and can also be manufactured according to user drawings or through mutual agreement.
II. Manufacturing Process of the T-Type Slot Cast Iron Platform Plate
The manufacturing process of the T-type slot cast iron platform plate involves a series of strict steps to ensure its quality and performance. These steps typically include:
1. Raw material preparation: Selecting pig iron as the raw material, ensuring its chemical composition and physical properties meet manufacturing requirements.
2. Melting and pouring: Melting the pig iron and injecting it into molds through a pouring process to form cast iron components.
3. Sand removal and cleaning: After the cast iron components cool, sand removal is performed to eliminate molding sand and impurities attached to the surface.
4. Heat treatment: Applying heat treatments such as annealing and tempering to the castings to relieve internal stress and improve hardness and wear resistance.
5. Machining: Performing mechanical processes like milling and grinding on the castings to achieve the required dimensional and shape accuracy.
6. Scraping and inspection: Scraping the working surface to enhance its flatness and surface roughness. Simultaneously, inspecting the castings to ensure they meet national standards and user requirements.
7. Anti-rust treatment and packaging: Applying anti-rust treatments, such as spraying anti-rust oil or wrapping with anti-rust paper. Then, packaging them properly for transportation and storage.
