- Forging press shop serves forgings with various cross-sections, the main of those are: round, square and rectangular cross-section. It produces all kinds of metal bond (special metal locks) for securing mine workings, lining of the arched and circular cross-section from 5 m2 to 36 m2.
- Mechanical assembly shop is equipped with all necessary equipment, capable of carrying out assembly work of mining combines from 1% to 100%, major repairs of mining, mine and ore dressing equipment, and also their individual units. It is also possible to manufacture spare parts and components to the above equipment with the ability to upgrade certain units, upon the request of the customer. At the moment, the plant has mastered the production of non-standard parts for domestic and imported equipment, with the improvement of their performance in our environment.
- Experts of PJSC «Marhanets Ore Processing and Mining Equipment Repair Plant» developed and introduced into the work technology for processing manganese steel, which as you know is very difficult in machining. Therefore, our company can be called a closed-loop enterprise: beginning from smelting of manganese steel to its machining.
The workshop produces the production and major repairs of excavators, pumps and other machinery. It produces slurry and slag pumps, with a change in the structure of working wheels to increase durability. Other options, including boring, milling, gear hobbing, shredding and other theological operation are available on request.
Some of the most effective technologies of the machining of various parts are applied in the workshop:
- the production of machinery, mechanisms of different sizes;
- lathing (shaft length of 15 meters, a diameter of 800 mm)
- planing works (1200 × 4000mm);
- processing of parts on the rotary machine tools (diameter from 500 to 3200 mm);
- shredding operation (housing parts weighing up to 5000 kg);
- gear-hobbing works (cylindrical gears with diameter up to 2000mm, the module m = 20, the bevel gears up to 300 mm in diameter, the module m = 6 mm, cutting (broaching) splines);
- gear-planing (conical straight and helical gears with diameter up to 2000mm, the module to m = 20 mm);
- gear-shaping operation (module to m = 10 mm, height of the tooth up to 400mm);
Shredding work:
- the flat shredding (600 × 800mm);
- the round shredding (diameter up to 400 mm, length up to 300 mm);
- the internal shredding (diameter up to 400 mm, length up to 150 mm).
- The plant produces the main types of heat treatment products – improvement by heat treatment, through hardened parts, normalization, carburizing and hardening treatment of HDTV.
The main focus of production is the manganese steel. Manganese steel is a structural steel, which is alloyed with manganese. It is characterized by high strength and wear resistance. In terms of composition it is similar to carbon steel, but it contains a lot of manganese. The doping with additional elements such as chromium, nickel, nitrogen, enhances the properties of manganese steel. Chains, crushers, rotary crushers for plate, presses, track shoes, etc. are made of this kind of steel. During quenching the steel becomes soft, and during cold forging resistance of metal increases, and steel becomes hard.
Manganese steel, which contains 12 – 15% Mn, is for the manufacture of machine parts, which require a lot of resistance to impact and abrasion. Usually from this make working parts of the stone crushing machines and ball mills. The largest number of manganese steel is for manufacture of railway rails. Ferromanganese is used in the manufacture of special steels and alloys.
Manganese steel after the normalization has increased strength and elasticity. They are relatively cheap and suitable for the production of parts that should have increased strength, toughness and wear resistance.
Manganese steels have a great strength. For example, steel which contains 13 – 15% (wt.) M 1 – 1 5% (wt.) C, has a high wear resistance and hardness. This steel is used for the manufacture of grinders (grind the hardest rocks), parts of excavators and bulldozers.
Manganese steel (10G2A, 12G2A) and low-alloy steel (25HGSA, ZOHGSA) are allowed to weld a gas or arc welding. As filler material used wire Sv. – 08GA, and for high-strength seams – Sv. – 18HMA; the brand of electrodes for electric arc welding: ВИ 9 — 6, ВИ 10 — 6, НИАТ-ЗМ. Machine parts of manganese steel after welding are subjected to normalization and from steel ZOHGSA — hardening and tempering process.
Manganese steel which contains 11 0 – 14% Mn and 0 0 9 – 1, 3% C has the structure of austenite after heat treatment, and has high resistance to abrasion when impact loads.
Manganese steel has a higher strength than ordinary steel. It is especially good resistance to shock. The railways arrows, stone crushing machine parts, helmets, tank armor and armor-piercing shells lugs are made of manganese steel.
- Despite the difficult situation in the geopolitics of the country, and the global economic recession in general, the management of PJSC «Marhanets Ore Processing and Mining Equipment Repair Plant» continues to pursue a policy for the modernization of all equipment and the development of new technologies in the manganese casting and processing of casts.
