Floor boring machine's column height reaches 6 meters above, its bottom flange plate thickness designed as 150mm to 200mm. To guarantee pouring mold filling complete, molten iron fluidity through spiral flow experiment measured, length not lower than 800mm. 1.6% around silicon element ratio provides support.
15-ton class above base casting at molding stage adds special chill iron material. Chill iron thickness according to formula Tc = 0.8 multiplied by Tw set. Tc represents chill iron thickness, Tw represents wall thickness. Local chilling means can make guideway part's structure density lift 10%.
Machine tool at 50 tons maximum table surface load under, bed body guideway's unit pressure controlled at 0.2kg/cm2 below.

Furnace charge inside's titanium element content needs pressed down to 0.05% below, preventing producing too many hard spots increasing processing difficulty. Antimony element's trace adding (approximately 0.005% to 0.01%) can strengthen pearlite, but exceeding 0.02% will cause brittleness. Technician at pouring before needs to conduct triangular test block test, observing chill depth, range controlled at 3mm to 5mm.

15-ton class floor boring machine bed body from 1450 degrees Celsius molten iron solidifying into solid after, internal residual stress high reaches 80MPa to 120MPa. Not undergo treatment, 10 meters long machine tool at factory leaving half year after, guideway surface's straightness will spontaneously release producing 0.5mm above twisting deformation. Thick large column and base at cooling time inside outside temperature difference uneven, metal lattice inside situates at extremely tightly stretched state.
Heat treatment parameters' setting controls metal inside atoms rearranging process.

Heating up stage strictly controlled at every hour 60 degrees Celsius limit speed inside. Casting thin wall place 40mm and thickened flange place 180mm's expansion difference will tear grain boundary producing tiny cracks. Electric furnace inside's temperature control system every interval 10 minutes acquires one time data, taking bed body front rear ends' temperature difference fluctuation suppressed at 15 degrees Celsius inside. Temperature reaches 580 degrees Celsius's plastic deformation critical point time, metal lattice dislocation gets repaired. Worktable load bearing exceeding 50 tons large base, heat preservation time extends to 8 hours above, heat thoroughly penetrates into thick reaching 200mm reinforcing rib inside.
Cooling stage every hour 20 degrees Celsius descending speed simulated extremely slow physical environment cooling. Furnace door at 300 degrees Celsius above ahead of time opened, cold air rushing in instantly produced thermal shock will make guideway hardness appear 3 to 5 HBW's deviation.
