ISO 1161 Aluminium Shipping Container Corner Fitting Container Corner
The corner fittings of a shipping container are designed to link to other containers horizontally and vertically, as well as to other modes of transportation such as ship, train, and road. Normally, a container includes the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right corner fittings, and each type fitting comes in two pieces, for a total of eight container corner fittings.
Aluminium casting is a metal-forming method that permits complicated aluminum pieces to be created. Aluminum alloy ingots are heated to extremely high temperatures until they are completely molten. The liquid aluminum is poured or injected under high pressure into a steel die, also known as a mould. The die is divided into two pieces, which are separated when the liquid metal has hardened to expose the cast aluminum portion.
Aluminum Gravity Casting has a number of benefits over other metal-forming methods that may make it the best option for shipping container corner fittings, espcially the capacity to deliver lighter parts with more surface completing choices than other cast metals.
Besides, it has good capacity to construct extremely complicated forms that neither extraction nor machining can achieve. The manufacture of container corner casting fittings is an excellent illustration of this. Other methods are unable to reliably achieve the product’s complexity and strict tolerances.
