CNC machining delivers micron precision and tight tolerances for complex geometry.
Optimized for mass production, high-volume machining utilizes advanced automation and process control to ensure consistent quality, tight tolerances, and superior cost efficiency at scale.
Designed for precision-driven applications, low-volume machining supports prototype development and limited production runs with high accuracy, rapid iteration, and reduced tooling requirements.
Metallurgical treatments such as controlled cooling rates and microalloying elements (e.g., vanadium, niobium) enhance dislocation density and hinder crack nucleation.
Tight tolerances on bore diameter, center-to-center length, and rod width are essential to maintain bearing clearance and piston motion precision. Advanced CNC machining centers utilizing multi-axis tooling enable the control of geometric parameters within microns. The use of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and laser scanning ensures dimensional conformity and repeatability batch after batch. The connecting rods alignment and straightness are verified to prevent binding or uneven load distribution, which can induce localized stress concentrations.
High operating temperatures cause expansion and can alter mechanical properties, impacting clearances and fatigue performance. Alloy composition is tailored to maintain yield strength and modulus of elasticity over a temperature range typically from ambient up to 300°C or higher, depending on the engine type. Heat treatment cycles are precisely engineered to stabilize microstructures, preventing softening or grain coarsening during engine thermal cycles.

Connect pistons and crankshafts in heavy-duty engines powering excavators and loaders, designed for durability under high vibration and shock loads.
Connecting rods are engineered with optimized cross-sectional geometries to balance strength, stiffness, and weight. FEA simulations evaluate stress distribution under combined bending, tensile, and compressive loads to identify critical stress hotspots. This allows for material removal in low-stress regions and reinforcement in high-stress areas, achieving maximum strength-to-weight efficiency.
Surface finish quality directly impacts the fatigue life and frictional losses of connecting rods. Precision grinding and honing processes achieve surface roughness below 0.4 µm Ra on bearing journals to reduce lubricant film breakdown. Shot peening induces beneficial compressive residual stresses on critical surfaces, increasing resistance to crack initiation.

Frigate sources alloy steels with certified chemical composition and traceability to maintain consistent quality. Each batch undergoes rigorous spectrometry and mechanical testing for tensile strength and hardness. Advanced forging processes are applied to control grain flow and reduce internal defects. Material properties are verified through microstructure analysis and non-destructive testing before machining.
Frigate employs multi-axis CNC machining centers with real-time monitoring systems to achieve micron-level precision. Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) verify bore diameter, length, and surface finish during and after machining. Process parameters are optimized to minimize thermal distortion and maintain geometric stability. This precision machining ensures proper bearing fit and reduces engine vibration.
Frigate uses heat treatment cycles such as quenching and tempering to optimize the strength and toughness balance. Shot peening is performed to induce compressive residual stresses on high-stress surfaces. Finite element analysis (FEA) guides design improvements by predicting stress hotspots and fatigue behavior. This integrated approach extends service life under demanding engine conditions.
Surface grinding and honing processes achieve a fine finish with surface roughness typically below 0.4 microns Ra on bearing journals. Specialized coatings such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) or DLC may be applied for reduced friction and enhanced wear resistance. Shot peening also improves surface integrity and fatigue resistance. Corrosion resistance is ensured through passivation or phosphate treatments.
Each rod undergoes magnetic particle inspection and ultrasonic testing to detect surface and subsurface flaws. Mechanical testing includes tensile, hardness, and impact tests to confirm compliance with design specifications. Dimensional checks use laser scanning and CMM to ensure adherence to tight tolerances. All inspection data is recorded for full traceability and quality audits.
