Material and Process for Reducer Housing

The reducer housing can use a variety of materials and manufacturing processes, and the common practices are as follows.

1. Gray iron casting: Gray iron is a common material with good mechanical properties and shock resistance, and is suitable for manufacturing reducer housing. 

2. Aluminum alloy die-casting: Aluminum alloy has excellent strength and light-to-weight ratio, which can effectively reduce the weight of the reducer while improving its corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. 

3. Stainless steel welding: Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and aesthetics, and is suitable for manufacturing high-end reducer shells. 

4. Plastic injection molding: Plastic has the characteristics of light weight, anti-corrosion, and insulation, and can be used to manufacture small, low-power reducer housings.

The manufacturing material and process of the reducer shell should be selected according to the actual needs and the use environment to meet the performance and reliability requirements of the reducer.
