Raw Materials Required

Raw Materials:

The most important material used to manufacture cranes is steel, which is an alloy of iron mixed with small amount of carbon to increase its hardness. Carbon steel is used for structures that do not require very high strength. The most important factor which determines the property of carbon is the amount of carbon present in it, which may range from 0.015% to more than 0.5%
HSLA steels are used for the manufacturing of cranes that are designed to lift very heavy objects. HSLA steel contains low levels of carbon and small amount of other elements such chromium, nickel, vanadium, titanium and niobium. Hsla steels resist atmospheric corrosion and are better suited to welding than carbon steel
Wide varieties of other materials are also used in the manufacturing of cranes. Natural or Synthetic rubbers are used to make tires for cranes which are mobile. Electrical components may include semiconductors such as germanium and silicon and copper wires for electrical circuits.
