Study Notes
Rail Wheel Factory Flow Process Charts
- Flow Process Chart - Axle: This chart outlines the steps in manufacturing railway axles.
- Raw materials (billets) are heated, cut, and numbered.
- Forging and tempering stages follow.
- Processes like rough and finish turning, drilling, tapping, and re-centering occur.
- Cylindrical grinding and various quality checks (e.g., ultrasonic tests) are performed.
- Axles are measured and assembled.
- Flow Process Chart - Wheel: This chart details wheel production.
- Scrap charging, melting, pouring processes happen.
- Wheel rims are quenched and cooled.
- Number stamping and hub cutting take place.
- Normalizing, wheel grinding, shot blasting, and hardness testing occur.
- Quality checks and final assembly conclude the procedure.
- Key Processes: Processes like forging, quenching, tempering, and various machining operations (e.g., turning, grinding, drilling) are crucial in both charts.
