Weforging helps China Sky Eye forge a solid bond of "sky watching instrument"
Weforging Manufacturing company stands out by its deep technical accumulation and excellent strength in the field of forging and machining, and undertakes the task of providing jointing forgings for China Tianyan.
Deep in the mountains of Pingtang, Guizhou province, the world-renowned five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope, “China’s Eye of Heaven” (FAST), looks like a giant “eye of heaven” staring at the vast sky, constantly exploring the mysteries of the universe. Behind this great project, a key contributor is Weforging Manufacturing Company.
As the world’s largest single-aperture and most sensitive radio telescope, the construction of FAST is an unprecedented super project, with strict requirements for every component. Among them, the quality of all connected forgings is directly related to the stability and observation accuracy of the entire telescope.
In the forging process,
Weforging faces great challenges. In order to meet the requirements of the complex working conditions, the selected materials must have extremely high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. The company has invested a lot of research and development resources to repeatedly test and optimize the forging process. After numerous attempts, the forging process of the fork lug connection was finally determined, and the internal microstructure of the metal was precisely controlled, so that the forgings had good toughness while ensuring high strength, enough to withstand long-term gravity loads and the test of harsh environments.
Through forging, it is also conducive to rapid machining efficiency, which greatly speeds up the construction speed of FAST. The structural design of FAST is extremely precise, and the dimensional accuracy of each joint forging must consider the overall bearing capacity, such as snow.
Weforging introduces the world-leading high-precision machining equipment and is equipped with an experienced technical team who strictly follow the design drawings for fine forging. From roughing to finishing, each process is inspected layer by layer to ensure that each forging can fit perfectly with other parts, laying a solid foundation for the smooth assembly of Tianye.
1.2 World-class technical standards
Today, behind the efficient operation of the Eye, the joint forgings made by Weforging are quietly playing a key role. They are like a strong bond, closely connecting all parts of FAST, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire system in the observation process. Since Tianye was put into use, it has achieved fruitful results in many fields such as pulsar detection and neutral hydrogen observation, among which Weforging is also a part of the achievement.
An official of Weforging said, “It is an honor for us to participate in such a significant project as China Sky Eye and it is also a major test of our technical strength. In the future, we will continue to uphold the spirit of excellence, constantly improve the level of technology, contribute to more major national science and technology projects, and help China’s science and technology to reach a higher peak.”
The successful participation in Weforging not only highlights the technical advantages of the enterprise itself, but also wins a reputation for China’s high-end manufacturing industry in the international arena. We believe that as more enterprises like Weforging engage in the field of scientific and technological innovation, China will continue to take solid steps in the journey of exploring the mysteries of the universe and climbing the peak of science and technology.
