Description

Aluminum alloy investment casting device and casting method using device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a casting device and a casting method using the device, in particular to an aluminum alloy investment casting device and a casting method using the device. Belonging to the field of aluminum alloy investment casting.
Background
For the aluminum alloy castings of large thin-wall aluminum alloys with isolated hot spots, shrinkage holes, shrinkage porosity and looseness are easy to generate at the hot spots of the castings. For investment casting methods, the problem of hot spots of large aluminum alloy investment castings is solved by adopting a complex pouring system and a method for increasing riser weight in most of the domestic and foreign fields. However, the casting system is huge, the manufacturing difficulty is high, the process yield is low, the manufacturing difficulty is high, and the effect is always unsatisfactory.
And casting hot spots are generally generated at the following 2 locations.
(1) The thick bulk of the casting requires a location. The modulus of the part is very high, the heat transfer efficiency of the part needs to be quickened, the modulus is firstly reduced, then the temperature gradient is established in cooperation with the riser, a sequential solidification mode is formed, the hot joint of the part is effectively fed, if the riser is only relied on, the hot joint area is only increased, and the range and grade of shrinkage cavity and loose defects are further aggravated.
(2) The casting forms a hot joint by its own structure. For example, the junction of the side wall and the rib plate lacks a radiating surface, and the heat coupling of the 2 parts is overlapped at one part, so that the solidification speed of the rib plate is lower than that of other parts, and a heat joint is formed. Therefore, the heat transfer speed is required to be increased, and the heat at the place is quickly transferred, so that the aim of eliminating the heat program is fulfilled.
The core of solving the problems is how to accurately and effectively control the local heat transfer speed of the shell in the solidification process, namely, the heat transfer speed of the high-modulus part of the casting is increased, the heat transfer speed of the feeding head is reduced, and the feeding effect is improved.
At present, the adopted methods for accelerating the heat transfer of the shell are blowing, water spraying and chilling block. The blowing and water spraying cannot be precisely applied to the hot joint part on the shell, and when the wind or water is applied to the shell, the wind or water flows along the wall of the shell, so that the effective area of the effect of the wind or water cannot be precisely controlled.
For large thin-wall aluminum alloy castings (generally, the thin wall is generally the wall thickness of 1.5-4mm, the definition of the large thin wall is that the diameter is about 500mm, and the height is more than 500 mm), a smooth and slow filling process is generally adopted so as to remove air in a cavity, and avoid the problems of gas coiling and slag inclusion, so that the filling process time is longer, and the ceramic shell for investment casting is very thin and quick to cool so as to ensure the complete forming of the ceramic shell. The shell is also required to be cast after being preheated, the preheating temperature is about 550 ℃, the deviation between the temperature of the chill and the aluminum melt is small, the chill reaches a thermal saturation state at the initial stage of solidification, and the heat cannot be effectively led out. In addition, the thin-wall aluminum alloy piece is cast by adopting the hot shell, so that the overall solidification speed of the casting is reduced, the precipitation of hydrogen in an aluminum melt is promoted, the casting has pinholes, the casting structure is coarse, and the mechanical property is not high.
In summary, the existing mode of pouring the thin-wall aluminum alloy piece by using the hot shell has the problems of pinholes on the casting, coarse casting structure and low mechanical property.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following effects:
1.

The fixed-point cooling refers to cooling of a hot joint part of a casting, the point refers to the place meaning, namely the hot joint place, and the casting solidification process control refers to controlling the solidification sequence of the hot joint part of the casting.
The timing cooling is active delay cooling, which is an active chilling means after the casting is filled, and the traditional cooling mode is a passive cooling method, namely, the alloy liquid is chilled only by contacting with the alloy liquid. The thickness of the ceramic shell used for investment casting is generally (4-12) mm, and the shell is too thin and has high heat dissipation speed, so that the shell is preheated to ensure that the molten metal in the shell is not solidified prematurely, if the chilling effect starts to be exerted at the moment, more crystal nucleus is separated from the molten metal, the viscosity of the molten metal is increased, the filling resistance is increased, and the molten metal flows are solidified before being converged, so that cold insulation defects are formed. This is extremely detrimental to the formation of the casting.
2. The invention has strong chilling capability, and the chilling structure can not generate heat saturation phenomenon, so that the heat in the chilling block can be timely transferred away due to circulating cooling water, and the temperature of the chilling block and the temperature of the hot joint part of the casting can always keep a larger temperature difference. The traditional investment casting adopts a chill mode for chilling, the temperature of the very chill after the shell is preheated is higher, a certain chilling effect can be achieved at the initial stage of solidification of the casting, but when the temperature difference between the chill and the temperature of the casting is very small, a thermal saturation state is achieved, the chilling effect cannot be achieved when the casting is solidified, the loosening problem of the casting can occur, and the circulating water adopted by the invention has no thermal saturation problem.
3. The invention designs an insulating riser structure for investment casting (the insulating riser structure is a riser structure with an interlayer filled with insulating materials, the insulating materials have high thermal resistance, can play a role in insulating heat for greatly reducing the heat dissipation rate of metal liquid in a riser), delay the heat dissipation of the riser, realize the active regulation and control of the solidification process by combining a chilling system, and improve the feeding capacity.
4. The aluminum alloy casting is solidified under pressure, and the problem of potential pinholes of the casting can be solved besides a certain pressure feeding effect. Because the solubility of hydrogen in the aluminum melt can be increased in a pressurized environment, solidification is completed before hydrogen is precipitated in the subsequent solidification process, and the problem of pinholes is avoided.

Detailed Description
The first embodiment is as follows: referring to fig. 1 to 11, an aluminum alloy investment casting apparatus of the present embodiment includes a casting tank body in which cooling water is contained, a metal grid 6, a water inlet pipe 7, a water pump 8, a water diversion pipe 9, a drain pipe 10, an air inlet pipe 11, a chilling block 12, a ceramic shell insulating riser 13 and a ceramic shell 14, wherein the metal grid 6 is mounted on a lower tank 2 of the casting tank body, the ceramic shell 14 is mounted on the metal grid 6, the ceramic shell insulating riser 13 is mounted on an upper portion of the ceramic shell 14, the chilling block 12 is mounted on a casting hot junction portion 15 on the ceramic shell 14, the air inlet pipe 11 is inserted on a lower tank 2 of the casting tank body, one end of the water inlet pipe 7 extends into the cooling water through the metal grid 6, the other end of the water inlet pipe 7 is connected with the water pump 8 and cools the chilling block 12 through the water diversion pipe 9, one end of the drain pipe 10 is connected with the chilling block 12, and the other end of the drain pipe 10 extends into the cooling water through the metal grid 6.
When the chilling system is started, the water pump 8 pumps up cooling water to enter the chilling block 12 through the water diversion pipe 9, the cooling water is discharged to the bottom of the lower tank 2 along the water discharge pipe 10 after heat exchange, and the stirring device is arranged at the bottom of the lower tank 2 to uniformly mix the discharged hot water with the cooling water.
Before the chilling system is started, the upper tank 1 is automatically closed and simultaneously the locking ring is locked, at the moment, nitrogen formed by gasifying liquid nitrogen through the carburetor enters the sealed tank body from the air inlet pipe 11, the pressure in the tank reaches 6bar within 30 seconds (the casting is solidified, the pressure cannot play a feeding role, so that the tank body pressurization speed is faster and better), and pressure maintaining is carried out until solidification is finished.
The device can solidify the casting under pressure, so that the structure of the casting is more compact, the solubility of hydrogen in an aluminum melt can be improved, and pinholes are formed when the hydrogen is not precipitated during solidification. The nitrogen gas also reduces oxidation of the aluminum melt in the mold cavity.
According to the embodiment, the part with large casting modulus (usually the thick part of the casting) is determined according to the casting modulus cloud chart, and the feeding units of the part with large modulus are designed according to specific conditions, for example, the solidification speed of the part with large modulus is accelerated by adopting chilling measures only for the part with large modulus, or the feeding of the riser is only adopted, and the feeding can be completed in a mode of combining the riser and chilling. In order to improve the feeding effect, the cooling system (namely the water inlet pipe 7, the water pump 8, the water diversion pipe 9, the water discharge pipe 10, the air inlet pipe 11 and the chilling block 12) is used for improving the local chilling capability of the ceramic shell, the ceramic shell heat-insulating riser is designed for delaying the cooling speed of molten metal in the riser to improve the feeding capability of the riser, the pressure of the casting during solidification is increased to enable the tissue of the casting to be more compact, the solubility of hydrogen in an aluminum melt can be improved, and the casting is prevented from forming pinholes.
In the prior art, because the chilling capacity of the chilling block is limited, water is directly sprayed on the shell, but a chilling region is difficult to control. The method is an ideal timing chilling method for performing strong chilling on the designated part of the ceramic shell by adopting circulating water immediately after casting is finished, on one hand, the chilling effect on molten metal in the process of filling the alloy liquid is avoided, the temperature of the molten metal is greatly reduced, the flowing and feeding of the molten metal are not influenced, and the method is very beneficial to the filling and feeding of the alloy liquid. On the other hand, the circulating water can continuously take away the local heat of the shell, so that the problem of heat saturation is avoided, and the chilling capacity is very strong.
The thickness of the ceramic shell used for investment casting is generally (4-12) mm, and because the shell is too thin, if a point cooling pipe (for die casting) is directly adopted in the shell coating process, the ceramic shell is difficult to fix on a die set to form the shell along with the coating, and the casting has a complex structure and is not suitable for adopting a simple point cooling pipe.
The second embodiment is as follows: referring to fig. 1, the casting tank according to the present embodiment includes an upper tank 1, a lower tank 2, an upper tank opening/closing mechanism 3, a locking mechanism 4, and a seal ring 5, the locking mechanism 4 is mounted on the upper end of the lower tank 2, the seal ring 5 is mounted on the locking mechanism 4, and the upper tank 1 is mounted on the lower tank 2 through the upper tank opening/closing mechanism 3. In this way, the upper tank opening and closing mechanism 3 of the present embodiment is configured to open and close by driving the upper tank to rotate around the fixed shaft by extending and contracting the hydraulic pump connecting the upper tank 1 and the lower tank 2, and the locking mechanism 4 is configured by the hydraulic pump and the locking ring, and the lower tank contains cooling water for cooling.

The heat of the chilling block can be rapidly led out by the circulating water, no thermal saturation exists, and the active regulation and control of the cooling speed can be realized. The size and shape of the effective acting surface of the chilling block are related to the hot joint, so that the hot joint can be completely covered.
The specific embodiment IV is as follows: referring to fig. 4 to 5, the cooling passage 12-5 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of horizontal passages 12-5-1, a vertical passage 12-5-2, a water inlet passage 12-5-3 and a water outlet passage 12-5-4, the plurality of horizontal passages 12-5-1 are horizontally opened in a rectangular array to form a rectangular cooling passage, the water inlet passage 12-5-3 and the water outlet passage 12-5-4 are horizontally opened, the water inlet passage 12-5-3 is located above the rectangular cooling passage, the water outlet passage 12-5-4 is located below the rectangular cooling passage, and the vertical passage 12-5-2 is installed in the block 12-1 and communicates the rectangular cooling passage, the water inlet passage 12-5-3 and the water outlet passage 12-5-4. So arranged, the outside of the block 12-1 of the present embodiment is provided with a positioning step, the inside is provided with a cooling channel 12-5 which is communicated with each other, only a water inlet and a water outlet are reserved at the outer side of the chilling block 12, and the rest of outlets are filled. Other compositions and connection relationships are the same as those of the first, second or third embodiments.
Fifth embodiment: the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 6, in which the right end surface of the block 12-1 of the present embodiment is an effective working surface 12-5-5, and the effective working surface 12-5-5 is bonded to the cast hot spot 15. By means of the arrangement, the chilling block of the embodiment is in direct contact with the aluminum melt (ceramic shell blocking is omitted, thermal resistance is effectively reduced, chilling efficiency is greatly improved), and therefore the chilling block is made of heat-resistant steel, graphite or a ceramic core (the preheating temperature of the shell needs to be borne).

When the coating is used for manufacturing the shell, the coating on the surface of the wax mould outlet of the chilling block is scraped immediately after each coating, so that the wax is exposed at the position before dewaxing, dewaxing and shell roasting are performed, and then the chilling block is arranged in the shell and is blocked by the shell repairing agent, so that the flame running in the casting process is avoided.
Seventh embodiment: the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 8 to 11, in which the ceramic shell insulating riser 13 is a circular riser, and the circular riser is formed with an annular cavity 13-1 in the circumferential direction. Other compositions and connection relationships are the same as those of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth embodiments.
In order to avoid the problems of gas rolling and slag inclusion during the mold filling process, the investment casting of the aluminum alloy castings generally adopts a bottom pouring open pouring system, namely, alloy liquid is filled from the bottom of the casting and finally flows into a riser, the mold filling time is relatively long, at the moment, aluminum melt in the riser is formed by converging the front ends of liquid flows, the temperature of the aluminum melt is lower than that of the casting below, even the riser is solidified, the casting is not solidified, and the riser loses the feeding effect. The temperature reduction speed of the insulating riser when the riser is solidified is designed, so that the temperature of molten metal in the riser is greatly higher than the temperature of a casting, and the feeding effect of the riser is improved.
A riser ceramic housing (wall thickness below 4 mm) with a sandwich structure (finger ring cavity 13-1) is made by the method of preparing the ceramic core, with a riser part in the middle.

The traditional investment casting method for insulating the riser is that insulating cotton is wrapped on the outer wall of a mold shell of the riser, and the insulating cotton cannot be tightly attached to the mold shell due to the rugged outer wall of the mold shell and the irregular riser, so that the insulating effect is limited. The riser of the invention is not limited to a cylindrical riser, and for all riser structures, the method can be used for manufacturing the insulating riser for investment casting to improve the feeding effect, and the essence is to control the heat dissipation rate of the riser.
