Why Is Pump Housing Prone to Cracking?

18-08-2025

Sudden cracking of Gray Iron Pump Housing not only impacts production schedules but also increases repair costs. Why do these sturdy metal casings crack? The susceptibility of Gray Iron Pump Housing to cracking may be related to material selection, processing techniques, and the operating environment. Our Gray Iron Pump Housing undergo rigorous material testing and rarely experience cracking.


Cracked Sand Casting Pump Housings may be due to the lack of toughness in the centrifugal pump casing, which is susceptible to cracking under high pressure. Imprecise dimensions during machining can also lead to cracking after long-term use after installation. Other cases are caused by poor corrosion resistance, which can lead to corrosion in acidic and alkaline environments, leading to damage over time.


The materials used in our Sand Casting Pump Housing are carefully selected to ensure strength and toughness, capable of withstanding the continuous impact of high-pressure fluids. One of our chemical plant customers had previously used a casing that repeatedly cracked when pumping high-pressure chemical liquids. After replacing it with our Gray Iron Pump Housings, the pumps have been crack-free for over a year, and production has remained stable.

Sand Casting Pump Housing

Our factory has professional personnel monitoring every step of the manufacturing process to ensure precise casing dimensions and avoid unnecessary stress after assembly. A water treatment plant client's centrifugal pump vibrates excessively during operation, and conventional casings would quickly crack at the joints. Based on their equipment specifications, we thickened the joints of our Sand Casting Pump Housings and optimized the curved design, ensuring consistent stability during operation.


The operating environments of different industries vary greatly, with some requiring the transport of high-temperature liquids and others exposed to highly corrosive substances. We can provide customized services based on the client's specific needs. For example, a casing customized for a smelter uses high-temperature-resistant materials and incorporates heat dissipation patterns to prevent deformation and cracking in high-temperature environments. For those exposed to corrosive substances, we use special acid- and alkali-resistant materials with surface treatment to prevent long-term corrosion and damage.


Dandong Fuding Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. has the production capacity to meet a wide range of custom requirements. Our workshop is equipped with advanced processing equipment, and we can manufacture everything from large-scale industrial Sand Casting Pump Housings to casings for small precision equipment. Our technical team will recommend the most suitable material based on the client's operating parameters, ensuring that each customized casing is suited to the specific operating environment.
