The invention relates to a large-ratio and large-torque
planet carrier
steel casting material used for a self-elevating offshore platform lifting gear box and a production method. The material comprises the following chemical components in
mass by percentage: 0.28 to 0.35 percent of C, 0.20 to 0.35 percent of Si, 0.65 to 0.85 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.030 percent of S, less than or equal to 0.030 percent of P, 0.85 to 0.95 percent of Cr, 0.20 to 0.26 percent of Mo, 0.04 to 0.08 percent of V, and 0.02 to 0.06 percent of Ti; and the remaining content is Fe. The
planet carrier
steel casting material has the advantages that the working procedures are simplified, connection areas between a pin, an upper
flange and a lower
flange are subject to smooth transition by circular angles, so that the anti damage capacity and the working stability are enhanced; the traditional
casting process of 'progressive solidification' by using the
casting structure is changed, external chill is arranged at a specific area to change the earliest solidification area, the solidification feeding of the
casting can be changed by changing a feeding channel chain, the connection areas between the pin, the upper
flange and the lower flange are tightly, the stress of shrinkage solidification is greatly reduced, and cracks are avoided.
