Another 200-plus-ton masterpiece has been cast, marking the successful completion of the casting process for a custom-made 200-ton-class steel component by Henan Qianjin Heavy Industry.

Background of the Event: The Industry Significance of Casting and Forging Large Components Weighing 200 Tons

The successful completion of the pouring for this batch of over 200 tons of large castings and forgings not only underscores the stability of domestic custom production of high-end, large‑scale steel castings, but also attests to Henan Qianjin Heavy Industry’s mature technical expertise in the field of extra‑large‑tonnage steel casting.

As China’s high-end equipment manufacturing sector continues to expand, demand for large‑tonnage core castings and forgings in industries such as metallurgy, wind power, nuclear power, and mining is steadily rising. Large steel castings weighing 200 tons or more are premium, custom‑made products that place extremely stringent demands on manufacturers’ equipment capabilities, process expertise, and quality‑control systems. At present, the number of domestic enterprises capable of reliably producing qualified steel castings of 200 tons and above in volume remains limited. Consequently, the successful casting of each such heavy‑duty component serves as a clear demonstration of the industry’s production capacity and provides critical support for the delivery of downstream high‑end equipment.

Henan Qianjin Heavy Industry Casting and Forging Co., Ltd., as a domestic enterprise specializing in the production of large-scale castings and forgings, boasts decades of industry experience and possesses end-to-end production capabilities spanning smelting, casting, and machining at the hundred-ton level. Over the years, it has delivered a substantial number of high‑requirement, heavy‑tonnage steel castings to customers across multiple sectors, amassing extensive manufacturing expertise.

Overview of the Current 200-Ton-Plus Large Casting and Forging Pouring Project

The over 200-ton large steel casting poured this time is a core support component custom‑made by Henan Qianjin Heavy Industry for a major domestic metallurgical equipment manufacturer. It will be deployed in high‑end steel rolling production lines. From project initiation to the completion of the pour, the entire process has met stringent quality‑control requirements, and all operations have progressed smoothly.

Henan Qianjin Heavy Industry Casting and Forging Co., Ltd. recently completed the pouring and molding process for a similar 200-ton-class large steel casting. In the steel casting industry, “baobei” is a term of endearment used to refer to large, custom-made steel castings that are technically challenging and highly valuable. The success of this pour not only confirms the company’s production-process stability for such ultra-large components but also lays a solid foundation for subsequent finishing, inspection, and delivery stages.

For this project, in response to the product’s stringent nondestructive testing requirements and complex loading conditions, the technical team conducted multiple rounds of optimization in advance: they adjusted the riser and gating system layout, optimized the molten steel cooling curve, and implemented rigorous quality control from the raw material procurement stage. All incoming charge materials underwent re‑verification of their chemical composition to ensure compliance with project specifications. Throughout the entire casting process, senior engineers maintained on‑site oversight, ensuring that molten steel temperature, pouring speed, and pouring duration all fully adhered to the process design parameters, earning the approval of the customer’s on‑site inspection personnel.
