What Should a Pile Driver Hammer Head Be Like?
1 Answers
The pile driver hammer head needs to be manufactured using a composite casting process. The hammer head should be made of high-chromium cast iron with good wear resistance, while the hammer handle should be made of alloy steel with strong toughness. Combining both toughness and wear resistance ensures that the product is both durable and resistant to breaking. Function of the Pile Driver Hammer Head: The pile driver hammer head needs to be attached between the two parallel vertical guide rods (commonly known as the gantry) at the front of the pile driver frame to lift and hoist the hook. Classification of Pile Hammers: Pile hammers can be categorized based on their power source into drop hammers, steam hammers, diesel hammers, and hydraulic hammers. Working Principle: The hammer-driven pile sinking construction method involves using the impact force of the pile hammer falling onto the pile top to overcome the soil's resistance to the pile, thereby driving the pile to the predetermined depth or reaching the bearing stratum.
