Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cast iron crack repair, in particular to a welding-free repair structure for cast iron cracks. Background Art

[0002] At present, more and more building materials and chemical companies use vertical mills as grinding equipment to grind raw materials such as cement and mineral powder. The grinding disc is a large casting and a key core component inside the vertical mill. The grinding disc is usually made of ductile iron, but the welding performance of ductile iron is extremely poor. When the vertical mill is running, the temperature of the hot air entering the mill is 200-300℃. The material falls on the rotating grinding disc and bears the rolling pressure of the grinding roller when the material is rolled. If the moisture content of the material entering the mill is too high, and the temperature of the hot air entering the mill exceeds 500℃ for a long time, exceeding the annealing temperature of ductile iron, the strength, hardness and other properties of the grinding disc material will change, resulting in the grinding disc being prone to cracks under long-term heavy loads; in addition, if large pieces of iron are mixed into the material entering the mill, the grinding disc will be prone to cracks due to the load exceeding the design strength.

[0003] Since cast iron (such as ductile iron and grey cast iron) has poor welding performance and cracks are not easy to weld, they will crack again after a slight load after welding. This is more obvious for large, heavy-loaded or vibrating cast iron parts.

[0004] The existing metal fastening method for repairing cracks in parts directly inserts a steel brick-shaped reinforcement into the crack or fracture surface. This method is very easy to tear the parent material because of its rectangular shape and the stress-bearing part is in a straight line. The hot fastening method uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction of metal to repair cracks in castings. After heating, a selected fastening key of a certain shape is placed in a groove that has been processed at the damaged part of the part and is the same as the insert. After cooling, the fastening part shrinks, thereby re-sealing the broken part. The process is relatively complicated, and in actual operation, due to the extremely high processing accuracy requirements for the groove, less than 0.05mm, the expansion of the fastening key is difficult to control, and if the reserved margin is too large, it cannot be installed, and if the margin is small, the ideal crack repair effect cannot be achieved, and the repair effect is not obvious, so it is not suitable for on-site processing and has great limitations.
