In the "magical world" of metal material processing and heat treatment, normalizing, annealing, quenching and tempering are like four magicians with different personalities but super powers. They can give metal materials completely different "super powers" by waving their magic wands. However, for those who have just entered this field or have only a superficial understanding of heat treatment processes, these four magicians are often difficult to distinguish. Don't worry, today we will unveil their mystery and make them clear!

​On May 18, 2025, during the "21st Annual Meeting of China Foundry Association", China Foundry Association released the "2024 China Foundry Industry Data". Wang Dongsheng, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of China Foundry Association, released the data and interpreted it in detail. The release of this data is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the complex changes in China's foundry industry in terms of output, imports and exports, an

At SMEMACH,we specialize in producing Austempered Ductile Iron castings tailored to meet the demanding requirements of industries such as automotive, construction, agriculture, rail, mining, and heavy machinery. Our expertise in advanced heat treatment ensures that our ADI castings deliver exceptional performance and durability under harsh operating conditions.

The Beijing International Marine Engineering Technology and Equipment Exhibition (CM for short) was held at the Beijing China International Exhibition Center (New Hall) from March 26 to 28, 2025.

Metal castings can range in size from a few grams to several tones, shape complexity from simple to intricate and order size one-off to mass production.

Does the name of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) sound a bit difficult to pronounce? It doesn't matter, you can think of it as the "Iron Man" in the material world - not only has high strength and high toughness, but also wear resistance and shock absorption, it is simply "proficient in all kinds of martial arts". After being treated by the isothermal quenching process, the microstructure of ADI is like a specially trained super soldier, ready to show its prowess in various industrial fields at any time. Now, let's take a look at the wonderful performance of this "Iron Man" in various industries!

Europe also has a deep foundation in the formulation of ADI standards. Before the introduction of the EN 1564-1997 standard, each European member state had its own ADI standard, which to some extent hindered the circulation and application of ADI materials in Europe. In order to break this situation, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) took a key step in 1997 to unify the standards of 19 European member states and formulate the EN 1564-1997 ADI standard.

​In the application field of metal materials, whether it is a foundry or a forging plant, the performance of metal materials is directly related to the quality, safety and service life of the products. Among them, the impact test of metal materials plays an indispensable role as an important means to evaluate the performance of materials under sudden impact loads.

Coated sand casting in the foundry field has a long history, casting production is also quite large; Shandong Province is currently China's casting film sand manufacturers are more concentrated areas, Sinostar MACH professional film sand casting parts has been more than 15 years of history, the basic technology has been very mature, the current use of film sand casting production of precision steel castings face a number of problems that need to be solved, such as sand sticking (scars), cold barriers, porosity, etc., how to solve these problems remain to be our further exploration and Solve these problems.

Casting is an indispensable and important part of the development of equipment manufacturing industry, in machine tools, automobiles, instruments, shipbuilding and aerospace and other fields have a wide range of applications.
