USE OF CENTRIFUGAL ELECTROSLAG CASTING TECHNOLOGY IN THE PRODUCTION OF A CONNECTING PIPELINE FITTING

摘要

A method is considered for preparing high-quality circular billets for components of the tee-joint type by centrifugal electroslag casting. Data are provided for comparing the chemical analysis and mechanical properties of components prepared by different casting technology. The advantage of electroslag casting is demonstrated, making it possible to prepare cast billets that in physicomechanical properties are not surpassed by forgings, having a configuration and geometrical dimensions close to those of finished components.
