Producte Application

Road drainage system
Ductile iron round manhole covers are often used for drainage manholes on urban roads, main roads and highways. It can effectively cover sewers or drainage outlets, ensuring smooth water flow while protecting the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.
Municipal Engineering
Widely used in the entrances and exits of underground pipe network facilities such as municipal water supply, drainage, power supply, gas, and communications, playing a role of protection and identification.
Residential and Residential Areas
In the courtyards, small roads and sidewalks of residential areas or communities, it is used to cover sewers or inspection wells, which is both beautiful and practical, while preventing foreign objects from entering the wells.
Landscaping
Drainage wells or inspection wells used in parks, squares or green spaces help maintain underground drainage systems and keep the garden environment clean and safe.
Industrial and Factory Areas
In industrial parks or factory areas, it is used to cover underground equipment wells or pipeline inspection wells, which are commonly found in water supply, sewage or cable maintenance facilities inside factories.
Underground Pipeline Maintenance
Ductile iron manhole covers are an important part of underground pipe network facilities, which makes it easy for construction personnel to open the manhole covers for inspection, repair and maintenance.
Traffic safety protection
The high strength and durability of ductile iron enable it to withstand heavy vehicle pressure, especially suitable for areas with heavy traffic or frequent heavy vehicles. At the same time, the anti-slip design enhances the safety of driving and pedestrians.
Ductile iron round manhole covers have become an indispensable part of modern urban infrastructure due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, strong pressure resistance and long life.

Production process

1. Raw material preparation
Smelting of molten iron:
Use high-quality pig iron, scrap steel and other raw materials to melt in a medium frequency electric furnace or cupola to ensure that the chemical composition of the molten iron meets the requirements of the ductile iron casting process.
Spheroidizing treatment:
Add spheroidizing agent (such as magnesium or rare earth alloy) to the molten iron, and transform the graphite from flake to spherical through spheroidizing reaction, thereby improving the strength, toughness and impact resistance of cast iron.
Inoculation treatment:
In order to improve the structure and performance of castings, inoculants are added to the molten iron after spheroidization to improve the fluidity of the molten iron and the quality of the castings.
2. Modeling stage
Mold making:
According to the design drawings of the manhole cover, the mold is made of wood, aluminum alloy or resin. The quality of the mold directly affects the dimensional accuracy and appearance of the manhole cover.
Sand casting:
Use sand molding technology for molding, and commonly used molding methods include manual molding, mechanical molding or resin sand molding. The sand mold must have good strength, air permeability and thermal stability.
3. Casting and molding
Iron casting:
Pour the treated spheroidized iron into the sand mold for casting. The pouring temperature and speed must be strictly controlled to prevent the occurrence of casting defects such as pores and slag inclusions.
Cooling and solidification:
After pouring, the casting needs to be naturally cooled to a certain temperature in the sand mold to make it completely solidified.
4. Cleaning and grinding
Sand removal and cleaning:
The cooled casting is taken out of the sand mold, and the excess sand is cleaned up mechanically or manually.
Grinding and finishing:
The pouring head, flash and surface of the casting are polished and trimmed to ensure that the appearance of the manhole cover is smooth and neat and the size is accurate.
5. Heat treatment
Annealing:
The casting is placed in a high-temperature furnace for annealing to release internal stress and improve the toughness and uniformity of the material.
6. Surface treatment
Sandblasting:
The surface of the casting is treated with a sandblasting machine to remove oxide scale and impurities and improve the surface finish.
Coating protection:
Spray or dip the surface of the manhole cover (such as asphalt paint, epoxy resin coating, etc.) to enhance corrosion resistance and wear resistance, while improving aesthetics.
7. Inspection and quality control
Appearance inspection:
Check whether there are cracks, pores, shrinkage holes and other defects on the surface of the manhole cover.
Dimension measurement:
Ensure that the dimensions and tolerances of the manhole cover meet the design requirements.
Performance testing:
Test the mechanical properties of the manhole cover such as compression, bending and impact resistance to ensure that its strength and durability meet relevant standards (such as EN124 standard).
8. Finished product assembly and packaging
Matching the manhole cover with the manhole ring:
Assemble the manhole cover with the manhole ring to ensure the sealing and stability of both.
Packaging and storage:
Package, number and store qualified finished products and wait for shipment.
9. Additional processes (optional)
Customized processing:
Add anti-slip texture, company logo or other customized designs to the surface of the manhole cover according to customer needs.
Intelligent device integration:
Embed intelligent sensor modules in manhole covers to monitor manhole cover position, anti-theft, water accumulation alarm and other functions.
Summary
The production process of ductile iron manhole covers is a systematic and complex process. From raw material selection to finished product delivery, every link requires strict control and fine operation to ensure that the quality and performance of the manhole covers meet the actual application requirements. These manhole covers are widely used in municipal, transportation, industrial and residential areas, and are an important part of modern infrastructure construction.
