Low Alloy DHT Hammer

Low Alloy DHT Hammer: Precision-Engineered for Heavy-Duty Performance

Detailed Product Description: Low Alloy DHT Hammer

Function and Design

The Low Alloy DHT Hammer is engineered for high-impact applications, delivering powerful blows while maintaining structural integrity. Its Dual Hardness Treatment (DHT) process creates a unique combination of a hardened surface for wear resistance and a tough, ductile core to absorb shock and prevent cracking. This design ensures prolonged service life in harsh environments, such as mining, quarrying, and construction. The hammer’s optimized geometry enhances energy transfer, improving efficiency and reducing downtime. Its ergonomic design also ensures compatibility with various equipment, making it a versatile choice for heavy-duty operations.

Material Grade (EN and ASTM Standards)

The DHT Hammer is manufactured using premium low alloy steel, adhering to stringent EN and ASTM standards for quality and performance. Common material grades include:

· EN Standards: EN 10083-3 (e.g., 42CrMo4, 34CrNiMo6) for high strength and toughness.

· ASTM Standards: ASTM A148 (e.g., Grade 80-50) and ASTM A434 (e.g., 4140, 4340) for superior mechanical properties. These materials provide excellent fatigue resistance, impact toughness, and wear characteristics, ensuring the hammer performs reliably under extreme conditions. Custom material compositions can be tailored to meet specific client requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Modern and Standardized Manufacturing Process

WALKSON employs a state-of-the-art manufacturing process to produce the Low Alloy DHT Hammer, ensuring precision and consistency:

· Material Selection: High-quality low alloy steel is sourced and inspected for compliance with EN and ASTM standards.

· Forging: Hot forging shapes the hammer, enhancing grain structure for improved strength.

· Dual Hardness Treatment (DHT): The hammer undergoes carburizing or induction hardening to create a hard surface (HRC 55-60) while retaining a tough core (HRC 30-35). Quenching and tempering follow to optimize toughness and reduce brittleness.

· CNC Machining: Advanced 4- and 5-axis CNC milling machines ensure precise dimensions, with tolerances as tight as ±0.02 mm and surface roughness up to Ra 0.2.

· Surface Finishing: Shot peening and polishing enhance fatigue resistance and surface durability.

· Quality Control: Each hammer undergoes rigorous inspection using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.

The process complies with international standards, including ISO 9001:2015, EN 10293, EN 10228, and ASTM A788, ensuring traceability and quality at every stage.

International Standards and Testing Protocols

WALKSON adheres to globally recognized standards to ensure the DHT Hammer meets the highest quality benchmarks:

· EN Standards: EN 10293 (castings), EN 10228 (NDT), and EN 10083-3 (steels for quenching and tempering).

· ASTM Standards: ASTM A148 (castings), ASTM A275 (magnetic particle testing), ASTM A609 (ultrasonic testing), and ASTM A788 (forgings).

· ISO Standards: ISO 2768 (tolerances) and ISO 6892-1 (tensile testing).

Testing Protocols include:

· Hardness Testing: ASTM E18 (Rockwell) and ASTM E10 (Brinell) to verify surface and core hardness.

· Impact Testing: ASTM E23 (Charpy V-notch) to assess toughness at varying temperatures.

· Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Magnetic particle inspection (ASTM A275), ultrasonic testing (ASTM A609), and radiographic testing (ASTM E94) to detect surface and subsurface defects.

· Dimensional Inspection: CMMs ensure compliance with design specifications.

· Fatigue Testing: Cyclic load tests to evaluate durability under repeated impacts.

Testing Equipment:

· Hardness testers (Rockwell, Brinell).

· Ultrasonic flaw detectors.

· Magnetic particle inspection systems.

· CMMs for precise dimensional checks.

· Fatigue testing machines for endurance evaluation.

Clients can witness First Article Trials (FAT) and review Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, ensuring transparency. Third-party inspectors designated by clients are welcomed, and WALKSON supports oversight to guarantee compliance.
