The stainless steel threaded cross is a kind of industrial pipe fittings, and its main function is to divert the passing medium. The threaded cross is divided into forging and casting in the production process. Forging refers to the heating and forging of steel ingots or round bars and then processing the threads on a lathe. Casting refers to the melting of the steel ingots and pours them After the model is cooled, it is made. Because of the different manufacturing processes, the pressure resistance is different, and the pressure resistance of forging is much higher than that of casting.
