How are Pipe Elbows Made?

Hebei Jianzhi Casting Group Co., Ltd., our company specializes in supplying malleable iron pipe fittings and grooved pipe fittings. There are many types of pipe fittings, but the most common one is the malleable iron pipe fitting elbow.

It can be divided into different types depending on the angle of the elbow, such as 90-degree elbows, 45-degree elbows, Y-shaped elbows, etc.

Depending on the diameter of the interface, there are equal elbows and reduced elbows.

Based on the thread position, it can be divided into female threaded elbows, male threaded elbows and male and female threaded elbows.

Depending on the surface treatment method, it can be classified as hot-dip galvanized elbows (gi elbows) or black elbows.

This article describes the production process of malleable cast iron elbows. There are a total of 10 production processes.

Molding, melting, pouring, annealing, polishing, correcting, grinding, scraping, galvanizing, threading, pressure test, packing.

Unlike elbows made of other materials, malleable cast iron elbows are produced by casting. The mold construction and pouring process are more technically demanding. An annealing process is also necessary in order to eliminate the stress inside the elbow. An imperative factor affecting the quality of the malleable cast iron elbow is the annealing process. An improved annealing process has been developed at Jianzhi Group, ensuring 100% annealing success.

00:02:20 -- Mold Manufacturing Workshop.

All molds of the pipe fittings are made by self. JIANZHI has an independent CNC machining workshop.

00:02:25 -- "Sand Core" Workshop.

The sand core is made of first-grade water-washed sand to ensure the surface quality of the pipe fittings.
