great partnership, consider them one of our best cli- ents,” said Michael Holloway, senior sales manager at Forgemasters. “The size of this latest batch of castings requires them to be finish-machined in a vertical bor- ing machine which is capable of operating up to five and a half meters in height.” Counter-blow presses operate two hammers, or rams,
which work in opposition. Te castings will form the main rams which drive the counter-blow hammer faces together and will measure 4.8 x 3.3 x 4 m for the upper ram and 3.5 x 3.3 x 3 m for the lower ram. According to a statement released by the company,
Forgemasters will conduct two pours to create the castings. The project will require four ladles of molten steel for each, weighing in at 380 metric tons for the upper ram and 360 metric tons for the lower ram. The contract is due to be completed in October. ■
该公司高级销售经理 Michael Holloway说：“ 我已经和ATI Ladish公司合作三年了，通过我们的 合作认识到他们是我们最好的客户之一。最近一批 的铸件尺寸要求在立式钻孔机上进行精加工，该设 备运行高度达5.5米高。
对击锤压机有两个压头，两个相向运动。铸件将 构成主压头，该压头推动对击锻造压头表面到一起， 上压头尺寸4.8 x 3.3 x 4 m，下压头尺寸3.5 x 3.3 x 3 m。
根据公司的一项声明，该公司将浇注两次生产该铸 件。每个铸件需要4包钢水，上压头钢水重380吨， 下压头钢水重360吨。合同要求在10月底完成。■
