The microwave heating method of waterglass sand mold or core
Technical field
The invention belongs to sand mold method for curing in the casting industry, be specifically related to the microwave heating method of a kind of waterglass sand mold or core.
Background technology
Green cleaner production is the development trend of 21 century foundary industry, and many experts both domestic and external think: water-glass sand is the most possible molding sand of realizing green Foundry Production.The key that realizes the green cleaning of water-glass sand Foundry Production is two hang-ups that thoroughly solve water-glass sand technology: collapsibility is poor, the regenerating used difficulty, and the most basic way is to reduce the addition of waterglass.At present, the hardening process of waterglass sand mold or core has: heat hardening water-glass sand, CO
2Air blowing petrifying water glass sand, powder curing agent automatic harding glass sand and liquid organic ester automatic harding glass sand etc.
Common heating petrifying water glass sand intensity height, 3%~4% waterglass addition can obtain enough intensity, but its productivity ratio is low, energy consumption is big, labour intensity is big, common conduction-type heating, type (core) top layer be heated earlier usually dehydration sclerosis, form duricrust, make hot-air be difficult for infitration type (core) inside, the inner steam of type (core) is difficult for diffusing out, so the inside of thick large-scale (core) baking is not saturating, and its top layer is subject to paint baking over.
CO
2Air blowing petrifying water glass sand is widely adopted in foundry industry, but the waterglass addition is more, is generally 6.0%~8.0%, and collapsibility is poor, the regenerating used difficulty; The hardening process less stable can make casting mold (core) produce " over-blowing " phenomenon, causes the decline of casting mold (core) intensity; Type (core) surface for heavy castings easily breaks up, and inside is difficult to firmly thoroughly, makes foundry goods form defective.Powder petrifying water glass sand is easy and simple to handle, cost is low, energy production dimensional accuracy height, the foundry goods that casting flaw is few, but the addition of Powdered curing agent (as: addition of ferrosilicon powder be waterglass addition 20%~30%) generally all bigger than normal, the addition of waterglass is also than higher, generally need 5%~6%, collapsibility is unlike CO
2Air blowing petrifying water glass sand is good, and the dust pollution aggravation.
The characteristics of liquid Organic Ester Hardening Water Glass Sand are similar to self-hardening resin sand, light water glass addition is 3%~4%, the modified water glass addition is 2.5%~3.5%, the bigger raising of the collapsibility of its old sand and recyclability, but be subjected to ambient humidity, Temperature Influence bigger, its handling is relatively poor, and the collapsibility after reclaimed sand recycles has degradating trend.
Heating using microwave has advantages such as firing rate is fast, evenly heating, efficient energy-saving, sanitation and hygiene.During heating using microwave water-glass sand, moisture volatilizees to external migration from the inside of type (core), so type (core) sand can fully dry by the fire, integral body obtains the oven dry sclerosis.Heating using microwave petrifying water glass sand can be given full play to the bonding potentiality of waterglass, and the addition of waterglass can reduce to 1.0%~2.5%, improves the collapsibility and the regeneration of water-glass sand greatly.But the difficult point of present common heating using microwave petrifying water glass sand is: mold materials requires hygroscopicity high, sclerosis back waterglass sand mold (core) big.Timber, plastics and metal all can not be used as mold materials, the easy temperature distortion of timber and plastics, and metal can microwave reflection.Sand mold after the sclerosis (core) was deposited in air ambient one day, and the intensity of waterglass sand mold (core) can be lost totally.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes the microwave heating method of a kind of waterglass sand mold or core, solves the problem of existing heating using microwave petrifying water glass sand to mold materials requirement height, sand mold or the easy moisture absorption of core, improves the efficient of heating using microwave petrifying water glass sand.

Described microwave heating method is characterized in that:
Sand mold after the sclerosis that described second heating step obtains or core, when not being used to pour into a mould immediately, then wet process is prevented on its surface, puts into the dry environment stored for future use again.
Described microwave heating method is characterized in that:
Described casting roughing sand is the casting roughing sand of quartz sand or other low microwave absorptivity; Described waterglass is casting water glass or the modified water glass for casting that adds reinforcing agent, moisture retardant; Described micro-wave oven is family expenses or industrial micro-wave oven.
The mold materials of moulding of the present invention (coremaking) comprises the material of nonmetal low microwave absorptivities such as timber, plastics and lucite; Sand mold after the demoulding carries out after post bake hardens fully, if be not used for cast immediately, and is parked in humidity bigger following time of air ambient, need prevent wet process to the sand mold surface, as at sand mold surface brushing moisture-proof coating etc.
Characteristics of the present invention are following several respects:
(1) addition of heating using microwave petrifying water glass sand fresh water (FW) glass can be by CO
22.5%~4.0% of 6.0%~8.0% and liquid Self-hardening Sodium Silicate Sand Technology of air blowing petrifying water glass sand technology is reduced to 1.0%~2.5%, make waterglass sand mold (core) have the high-intensity while, collapsibility obtains very big improvement, has also improved the regeneration performance of old sand simultaneously.
The waterglass sand mold is with waterglass, curing agent and sand mixing, moulding or coremaking, sclerosis back cast fully, cooling back peeling, old sand reuse.For the quality that guarantees foundry goods, avoid occurring defective, sand mold or core will have enough intensity.The waterglass addition is big more, and sand mold or core normal temperature strength are high more, and high-temperature residual strength is big more, and collapsibility is poor more, and regeneration is difficult more.In the heating using microwave petrifying water glass sand technology, do not need curing agent, heating using microwave makes the waterglass sclerosis, the bonding potentiality of waterglass are than being brought into play more fully in other hardening process, therefore, under the prerequisite that guarantees sand mold or core normal temperature strength, the addition of waterglass can be by CO
22.5%~4.0% of 6.0%~8.0% and liquid Self-hardening Sodium Silicate Sand Technology of air blowing petrifying water glass sand technology is reduced to 1.0%~2.5%, improved the collapsibility and the regeneration of old sand greatly.
