A new fabricating technique of refiner plate

Abstract

It was discussed how refiner plate is produced by a new process, such as three dimension making die with computer technology, shell molding, optimizing the alloy and controlling shakeout time with computer. Results confirmed that lead-time was decreased and product customization was improved in making die by using computer technology. At the same time, precision molding can decrease the reject ratio of refiner plates, and optimizing the alloy and shakeout time can eliminate the need for heat treatment. The new fabricating process showed several advantages over the traditional process in increasing toughness, better casting precision, elimination of the annealing treatment stage and raising production efficiency.
