Anyone who has worked on a construction site knows that the stability of a concrete formwork system often lies not in the formwork itself, but in that seemingly insignificant clamp. Today, we are talking about Formwork Clamp - precisely speaking, it's the casting type, not the stamping type.
What's the difference between casting and stamping?
Let's talk about stamping first. It involves using a steel plate and a mold to directly shape it. It's fast and has low costs. However, the issue is that the material density of the stamped parts is uneven, and the edges and corners are prone to stress concentration. Over time, there may be risks of deformation or loosening.
Casting is different. The Concrete Formwork Clamps we make use high-purity raw materials. After heating and melting, the molten iron is poured into the molds and allowed to cool and solidify naturally. The resulting blanks have high density and uniform structure. Then they undergo grinding and polishing, electro-galvanizing, and finally assembly and packaging.
In simple terms: Pressing is "pressed out", while casting is "cast in". The one that is cast in is more solid.
Where to use it?
This type of casting formwork clamp is mainly used for the steel frame European standard formwork system. Its function is simple but crucial - it locks the connection points of two steel forms, and at the same time supports the floor formwork, wall formwork, etc. On a construction site with dozens of tons of formwork, if the clamp becomes loose or cracked, the entire framework will be unsafe.
How can the quality be guaranteed?
We have our own factories in both Tianjin and Renqiu. These two places are themselves the largest steel and scaffolding production bases in China. They have excellent raw materials and a wide range of steel grades. Moreover, the new port of Tianjin is right next to them. When shipping, it's very convenient to pack and load onto ships, and there's no need to worry about logistics bottlenecks.
The company has been engaged in the business of scaffolding and formwork for over ten years. It is not a small workshop just starting out. Each batch of cast clamps has a process record from molten iron to the finished product, ensuring that the Concrete Formwork Clamps produced can withstand the actual use at the construction site.
Summarize a sentence
If you are comparing the Formwork Clamp used in casting and stamping processes, my suggestion is as follows: For temporary supports, the stamping method is sufficient; however, if it is a serious steel frame formwork system, wall formwork, floor formwork, or if the project has high safety requirements, choose the casting method as it is more reliable. Although the casting process is more complex and the cost is slightly higher, in the construction site, if the clamp breaks, the cost will be far more than the small difference saved.
