Therefore, how are these characteristic dining chairs produced? The next part of this article will focus on the production process of industrial-style dining chairs.

 

5. The production process of industrial style dining chairs: (this is the key) production process

 

The production process of industrial-style dining chairs is the key part of this article. By describing the production process of this type of dining chair, we can learn the production process of the chair step by step. After all, knowing the production process of this type of chair can increase knowledge, moreover, it is also very interesting. The general production process of metal dining chairs is ten steps as follow:

1. Material selection

Material quality. You can judge by touching, observing the color, checking the brightness, etc. Good wrought iron products usually feel smooth and flat, the material looks more textured, not stiff to the touch, and the color is relatively full.

The style, size, and thickness depend on the cost budget, shape and structure of the product, and the combination of production orders to achieve maximum cutting. The choice of materials will also affect the firmness of finished products.

2. The cutting and cutting into the certain shape of chair material

After selecting the appropriate material, the production workers need to cut and cut into a certain shape. The material will be cut into different sizes, different radians, which is convenient for the next stamping process. In many cases, this process is stamped out with an abrasive tool. Therefore, the data is accurate.

Some are also used by computer laser cutting machines. There is almost no error. Some small materials may require a small cutter to cut. The accuracy of material cutting plays a good role in the post-stamping process.

3. Material Stamping

Pressure casting is referred to as pressure. Pressure casting parts have clear outlines and can obtain perfect shapes for thin-walled, uneven parts, so complex shapes are produced by pressure casting.

The pressure-casting model has high precision and good gloss. During the production process, each part has good dimensional consistency, good stability, and good assembly interchangeability.

During pressure casting, the metal is solidified under pressure in the mold, and because the filling time is very short and the cooling rate is extremely fast, the structure is precise, the grains are refined, and the hardness is relatively high, especially the surface layer, which is the most difficult to chill. Therefore, the surface layer is more solid and wear-resistant.

The so-called stamping refers to the shape of the material part. This requires a certain stamping tool. Regardless of the protruding or concave effect of the part, it is stamped out with equipment such as molds and stamping machines. A good stamping must not only ensure the effect but also make sure the size of the parts does not change. The stamped parts have the same size, so the interchangeability is very strong.

4. Hemming (metal cutting process)

After the material is selected, cut, and cut into the shape, it enters the hemming process. The purpose of the hemming is to ensure that the cut parts are completely welded together, and the connection is firm and not easy to break. Hemming is divided into manual hemming and machine hemming. The factory will use a hemming machine or an experienced master to perform manual hemming processing.

5. Chair frame welding

 

Various shapes can be obtained by the material through stamping, forging, casting, molding, meandering, welding, and other processing processes. Secondary processing techniques such as spraying and plastic coating are used for surface treatment. Then, it is generally installed by welding, screwing, welding, and other connection methods.

Welding is a processing technology that produces atomic bonding between two workpieces through heating or pressure, even both are used at the same time. This can simplify the production process, and also have the advantages of high bonding strength, less material consumption, and stable product quality.

Gas welding is mainly used in our factory, which is a welding method that uses combustible gas and oxygen to mix in the welding torch, and then ignites and burns from the welding nozzle.

The metal parts of the chair that have been stamped and hemmed will enter into the welding process. The hardware parts of the old-style wrought iron dining chairs are mainly made of iron, and the connecting parts are processed by the welding process.

6. Grinding of semi-finished chairs

After all parts of the chair are welded, the welding spot will be polished, be smooth and round, and then enter the shot blasting machine for shot blasting with fine sand to confirm that every small part of the chair can be smooth and smooth.

After welding, the hardware chair frame will be polished, which not only makes the details of the wrought iron retro dining chair look more beautiful but also makes the hand feel more comfortable. This lays a good foundation for a good surface in the future. The best results are obtained after pickling and painting.

7. Pretreatment and pickling of metal parts

 

The polished hardware chair frame will undergo a pickling treatment, which is very important to ensure that the paint surface will not easily fall off on the hardware iron frame. Generally, large-scale pickling equipment requires much investment, but the chairs with pickling can be easily painted, and the paint adhesion is good.

The specific technical details are as follows: the surface treatment of industrial style wrought iron products refers to preventing rust on the surface of wrought iron products, eliminating and covering the surface defects of wrought iron products, and painting, brushing, and spraying the surface of wrought iron products to achieve anti-rust and artistic effect decoration process implementation. In order to ensure that the anti-rust and decorative effects can be achieved as long as possible, it is inevitable to adopt many corresponding surface treatment processes and to select construction processes and materials in the later stage.

The surface treatment of wrought iron products,  to ensure a good bonding force between the decorative spray coating and the surface of wrought iron products, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the oxide scale, welding slag, rust marks, grease, dirt, and water on the surface of wrought iron products before spraying. Trying best to remove is necessary, otherwise, it is easy to cause foaming, cracking, layering, and peeling of the spray coating.

The surface protection and decorative spraying process of wrought iron products can reduce and avoid the corrosion of the metal surface by protecting the surface of wrought iron products, and the process of implementing the process of decoration is called the protection and decoration of the surface of wrought iron products. For wrought iron products, the method of comprehensive treatment of surface protection and decoration is generally adopted.

For industrial-style wrought iron products, people increasingly require that the surface of wrought iron products not only be anti-corrosion, but also have various textures, three-dimensional effects, or artistic effects such as distressed and antique, or a gorgeous appearance.

For finished industrial wrought iron products, the paint surface must be baked at a high temperature to ensure that the paint surface is smooth and dense and not easy to fade.

Secondly, iron furniture should be placed in a dry and ventilated place to avoid sun and rain. It is best not to wipe the surface directly with a damp cloth when cleaning. You can use a cotton rag, dip in a mild detergent, and wipe gently.

8. Electrostatic spraying

1) Firstly, surface treatment of the workpiece is necessary, if some parts of the workpiece do not need coating, it must be covered;

2) Spray powder on the workpiece by an electrostatic powder spraying machine. In a high-voltage electrostatic environment, the powder has a negative polarity and is sprayed to the workpiece under the force of compressed air. The workpiece is grounded to adsorb the negative powder;

3). After the coating is completed, it enters the high temperature curing furnace. The powder starts to melt and level in a high-temperature environment, and then enters the constant temperature curing stage. The constant temperature curing time is about 20 minutes. If the workpiece is very thick, the powder curing time needs to be extended. Complete the powder spraying process.

After the previous grinding and pickling, the metal frame enters the surface painting stage. For industrial-style chairs, the process of electrostatic spraying is usually used. The spray paint is prepared by computer so that the surface paint can be uniform. Moreover, it is economic. Good looks combined with a strong frame is the final quality product. In addition to the regular colors, rose gold colors are also very popular.

9. Post-processing (special process, wooden parts need to be configured with wooden parts)

In many cases, customers or final consumers need conventional painting finished products, and there are also many customers who need post-processing. The post-processing includes transparent effects, artificial scratching effects, and old-fashioning effects. This is the surface painting process of the retro wrought iron dining chair in the later stage. After the industrial style wrought iron chair is painted, it will also be hand-painted with a layer of old-fashioned paint, which is commonly called bronze. Themed dining chairs painted with bronze paint look more individual in appearance, impressing people with a retro feel, which is a very common way of processing now.

10. Packaging technology

Industrial-style chairs for export or domestic sales are usually divided into two types: naked and carton packaging. If they are naked, more chairs can be loaded into the container, while the carton packaging is more beautiful and neat. Each has its own advantages. According to the actual situation, choose the corresponding packaging method.

6. What are the inspection points and precautions for industrial style chairs?

1. The balance of the four legs of the chair is tested by the glass balance in the factory.
2. Whether the welding spot is fully welded, check whether the connection of each part is qualified
3. Load-bearing test, static 200-pound pressure test.
4. The surface color has no blistering, no variegation, and no falling off.

The following contents are the most basic points for testing the quality of industrial-style chairs. What are the inspection points and precautions for industrial-style chairs?

1. First, the chair has a good bearing capacity. A chair that can bear a lot of weight can be an excellent chair

3. Secondly, the chair should have excellent stability. Make sure that the legs of the chair are on a level line, so as not to fall
4. The color of the chair surface should be accurate and uniform.
5. The product size is appropriate and accurate
