Forgings for the mining industry

Mining – it is a vast industry that includes all areas of exploration and mining. It includes iron ore mining, oil production and oil refining, mining of other types of energy raw materials, non-ferrous metals, industrial raw materials, precious stones, etc.

The mining industry is widely developed in almost all regions of Ukraine. At the same time, its development is closely related to the use of different types of rolled metal: it is used to produce various mining equipment, construct metal structures, etc. Forgings are in particular demand in this area – draft blanks, from which the necessary parts are subsequently produced. In its form, forging is as close as possible to the required product, so the manufacturing process takes very little time and passes with minimal chip losses. The finished part, made from a forging, corresponds very closely to the given prototype.

Company «UTMK» well aware of the needs of domestic enterprises involved in the mining industry. We are ready to organize deliveries of forgings to any region of our country. A wide range of forged circles with a diameter of 120-800 mm is available, it is also possible to manufacture square, hexagonal and other profiles.

Application of forgings in the mining industry

The most common is the forged wheel, since it is from it that a significant part of the spare parts for equipment is made. Most often, forgings are used to produce such parts:

• Camshafts (camshafts) – the main elements of the engines of drilling machines, excavators, dump trucks.
• Gears used in any technique.
• Crankshafts (crankshafts) – details of a complex configuration, the function of which is to convert the engine torque into reciprocating motion.
• Blanks for mining, crushing and grinding equipment: shafts, axles, gears, etc.
• Spare parts for shell crushers, ball and rod mills, etc.

The main steel grades used for the production of forgings for the mining industry: St20, St45, 40KhN2MA, 40KhNMA, 34KhN1MA, 34KhN3MA, 38KhN3MFA and others. YUTMK". Contact us, we will be happy to help!
