玻璃行業維護與維修焊接解決方案

Heat and Abrasion - It may sometimes appear that the maintenance engineer working in the glass industry has a much easier role than his counterpart in a foundry or forge. However, MWA  recognises that this is not the case when considering sand is the main material used for manufacturing glass. Heat and abrasion are predominant in almost all stages of the process, generating a constant battle to minimise their effect.

熱和磨損 - 有時看來，在玻璃行業工作的維修工程師比在鑄造廠或鍛造廠工作的維修工程師要容易得多。然而，MWA公司認識到，當考慮到沙子是制造玻璃的主要材料時，情況并非如此。熱和磨損幾乎在過程的所有階段都占主導地位，應想辦法盡量減少其影響。

Our aim is always to save companies money, we do this by reducing down-time and increasing the life of worn parts. This guide will isolate some of the more common problem areas within your industry, (see list below). Using our specialist knowledge we are able to provide a solution, minimising wear and in doing so generate large cost savings for your company.

Problems & Solutions

問題與解決方案

As a manufacturer we pride ourselves in not only supplying the right product for the job but also in ensuring that the correct methods of application are used before, during and after welding. Remember, If you are lucky enough to own a Ferrari, but put the wrong petrol in it, you can be sure it will not perform to its optimum.

作為一家制造商，我們不僅為客戶提供正確的焊接產品，而且確保在焊接之前、期間和之后使用正確的應用方法，我們為此感到自豪。請記住，如果你有幸擁有一輛法拉利，但放錯了汽油，你可以肯定它不會發揮其正常性能。

1. Mixer Blades - These are subject to severe abrasion caused during the highly abrasive mixing process. Depending on individual circumstances one of 3 welding processes may be used: Arc welding, Gas welding, Powder Welding. In some cases the increase of life of a mixer blade can be as much as 300%.

攪拌機葉片 - 在高研磨性混合過程中，這些材料會受到嚴重磨損。根據具體情況，可采用以下3種焊接工藝中的一種：電弧焊、氣焊、粉末焊接等。在某些情況下，攪拌機葉片的使用壽命可提高300%。

2. Cullet Crusher Jaws or Hammers - During the crushing process of the cullet severe abrasion occurs. When using our Mac Trode series electrode please do with the correct preparation and post welding treatment.

破碎機顎或錘 - 在破碎過程中發生嚴重磨損。當使用我們的Mac Trode 系列焊條時，應進行正確的準備和焊后處理。

3. Furnace Repairs - With working temperatures often as high as 1400°C parts are prone to cracking and spalling. Using specialised nickel based electrodes such as Mac Stain E102 or Inconel type electrodes like our Mac Nicro E213 or Mac Nicro E215, these parts can easily be repaired leaving them better prepared to withstand such elevated temperatures.

熔爐維修 - 工作溫度通常高達1400°C零件容易開裂和剝落。使用專門的鎳基不銹鋼焊條如Mac Stain E102；或Inconel型焊條如Mac Nicro E213或 E215，這些零件可以很容易地修復，使它們能夠更好地承受這樣的高溫。

4. Glass Moulds - A combination of both heat and abrasion cause wear on small areas of moulds. Either arc welding or powder welding process may be used depending on the specific application. A common concern when repairing such parts is the potential for slight undercut to occur. With our help and guidance we will show you how to avoid this and reduce any problems machining afterwards.

玻璃模具 - 熱和磨損的結合會導致模具小面積磨損。根據具體應用，可采用電弧焊或粉末焊接工藝。修理此類零件時，一個常見的問題是可能發生輕微的咬邊。如有需要，我們可以幫助和指導客戶如何避免這種情況并減少以后的任何問題。

5. Conveyors - Areas of concern when reclaiming conveyor parts usually centre upon rebuilding worn areas caused by abrasion. However, simply combating this problem does not eleviate difficulties caused by vibration. Using our specialised electrode Mac Trode E66 both of these problems can be overcome, leaving the part or section far stronger than in its original form.

輸送機 - 修復輸送機零件時，關注通常集中在恢復磨損造成的區域。然而，僅僅解決這個問題并不能消除由振動引起的困難。使用我們的特種鋼焊條Mac Trode E66，這兩個問題都可以克服，使零件或部件比原來更堅固。

6. Loading Buckets - With the constant flow of glass and concrete over

the loading buckets extreme wear is prevalent. One of the main problems here is the large area that needs to be welded. However, in our range of hard facing electrodes we have a special tubular rod designed for such applications. Mac Hard E335T is designed to deposit at very low amperages giving minimum base  dilution and high recovery rates.

裝載斗 - 隨著玻璃和混凝土不斷涌進裝載斗，極易磨損。這里的一個主要問題是需要焊接的面積很大。然而，在我們的硬面耐磨焊條系列中，我們有一種專為此類應用而設計的特殊管狀焊條。硬面堆焊焊條Mac Hard E335T設計用于在非常低的電流下堆焊，提供最小稀釋和高回收率。

7. Gears and sprockets - the repair of these parts is common throughout

most industries including the glass industry. These parts are usually either cast iron or cast steel and can be easily repaired using the correct pre-heat and post weld procedures.

齒輪和鏈輪 - 這些零件的維修在包括玻璃行業在內的大多數行業都很常見。這些零件通常是鑄鐵或鑄鋼，使用正確的預熱和焊后程序可以很容易地修復。

8. Shafts and Spindles - By using the Powder Welding process these

universal wear problems can easily be solved at large cost savings to your company rather than contracting the repairs out.

軸和主軸 - 通過使用粉末焊接工藝，這些普遍磨損問題可以很容易地得到解決，從而大大節省貴公司的成本，而不必外包維修。 

9. Pumps and Impellers - Despite the wide variety of materials pumps and 

impellers can be made from there are specific electrodes available for all base metal types whether it be cast iron, stainless steel, cast steel, etc. Using the correct welding procedures the risk of cracking and distortion can be eliminated ensuring a cost saving is made.

泵和葉輪 - 盡管泵和葉輪的材料種類繁多，但所有母材類型（無論是鑄鐵、不銹鋼、鑄鋼等）都有特定的焊材可用。使用正確的焊接程序，可以消除開裂和變形的風險，確保節約成本。 

10. Furnace Charger Tongues - Elevated temperatures are the main reason for wear, therefore using welding electrodes designed to combat up to 1400°C will enable repairs to be made. It must be noted that the part will then be far better equipped to withstand these extreme temperatures after being welded, ensuring an increase in part life.

爐加料舌 - 高溫是磨損的主要原因，因此使用設計用于抵抗高達1400°C的焊材將能夠進行維修。必須注意的是，焊接后的零件將更好地承受這些極端溫度，確保零件壽命的增加。
