CNC Application

Klement mineral castings are widely used in various machining centers, such as milling machines, lathes, large turning and milling machining centers, grinding machines, laser CNC machines, and precision instrument beds. They have high damping, which improves surface machining quality by 30%, extends tool life by 10%, reduces local sound pressure by 20%, and reduce assembly and debugging time by 10%. Besides, they also have very high thermal stability, guaranteeing the geometric accuracy of machine tools, extending the service life of moving parts, reducing the impact of the environment on temperature, and maintaining the accuracy of the processed workpiece.

Material Composition

Mineral composite parts are made of nano-mineral components (silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, etc.) as cementing materials, high-quality granite and quartz sand as main materials, and additives such as steel fiber. The cementing materials, main materials, steel fibers and other additives are mixed in proportion through a strict process. And then it was injected into the mold after being fully and evenly stirred. With its excellent self-leveling and self-compacting properties, after curing, cooling and curing, a mineral composite casting containing metal embedded parts that meets the requirements of mechanical use is formed.

Material Advantages

l Strong vibration absorption: The damping performance of mineral castings is more than 10 times that of steel and cast iron (vibration reduction parameters). In addition, its absorption capacity is better, which can greatly absorb and attenuate external vibrations. During cutting, mineral casting brings excellent surface processing quality and higher processing accuracy, and increases the cutting tool life.

l Excellent thermal stability: Its thermal conductivity is 1/20 of cast iron, and specific heat capacity is 2.1 times that of cast iron. Temperature changes are the main cause of dimensional deviations during machine tool processing. Changes in ambient temperature, friction of moving and rotating parts, and internal and external temperature changes are all causes of thermal deformation. High specific heat and low thermal conductivity give mineral castings good thermal inertia, effectively reducing geometric dimensional errors caused by temperature effects, thereby improving accuracy at a reasonable cost.

l High dimensional accuracy: Casting will not produce internal stress and external shrinkage due to rapid temperature changes at room temperature. So high dimensional accuracy can be achieved. Mineral castings can be formed in one step without mechanical processing. The dimensions of the bed and columns can be controlled within 0.3mm, and the hole spacing error can be controlled within 0.015mm/1000mm. And semi-finishing and finishing can be carried out directly, which reduces processing costs and greatly improves production efficiency.

l Slight elastic strain: Through creep test, the accuracy change and creep are extremely low under external force and self-weight load, which causes no influence on the machine tool structure in a short time. Under the on-load test, no significant dimensional change is found in long-term test.

lShort supply period: A small casting under 3 meters can be produced in just 5.5 days, while traditional cast iron takes about 45-60 days. Due to the high casting precision of polymer mineral castings, about 3/4 of the functional requirements are completed at one time without further processing, which greatly shortens the processing time, quickly meets customer needs, and greatly reduces customer investment in the long run.

Leader in Inorganic Mineral Castings

      We have established a strategic partnership with Durcrete and established Shandong Klement New Material Technology Co., Ltd. to build a full-service system including structural design, mold design, formula production management, reliability testing, processing and installation. Entering the era of mass production, the company has fully broken through market restrictions to meet the needs of the new material market at home and abroad. Moreover, we also introduced a full set of mineral casting formulas, production processes, manufacturing equipment, and testing instruments into China. And now we entered the new stage of performance testing and trial production.
