PLANT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SEAMLESS STEEL HIGH PRESSURE GAS CYLINDERS STARTING FROM PLATES | ||||
![]() | MANUFACTURING AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE The cylinders are produced starting from high quality steel alloy plate. The initial material is subject to chemical analyses and mechanical strength tests. A circular shear transforms the square plate into a disc. Each disc obtained in this way is controlled dimensionally and the cast identification code stamped onto it. | |||

![]() | DEEP-DRAWING A 1.500 ton hydraulic press transforms the discs into shells by means of succesion of cold-processing operations. Every shell produced is controlled both dimensionally and for its surface finishing quality. After each drawing, the material is subjected to an intermediate annealing treatment in a controlled atmosphere furnace. All loading and discharge operations are carried out automatically by electronally controlled handing mechanisms. |
