The specific embodiment
Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention is described and shown to following detailed description and accompanying drawing.Specification and accompanying drawing are used for enabling those skilled in the art to making and using the present invention, but are not to limit the scope of the invention by any way.Aspect disclosed method, shown step is actually schematically, and therefore, the order of these steps is optional or harsh.
Fig. 1 shows the Casting Equipment 10 according to prior art.Casting Equipment 10 is for being used as the casting pattern of mould (not shown), for example investment casting, sand casting process, permanent mold casting method and die-cast method in known casting method.Casting Equipment 10 comprises a pair of mold (mold pattern) 12, cast gate 14 and rising head 16.
Mold 12 comprises flange 18, main part 12 and bar 22.Mold 12 has the shape that is substantially similar to required cast object.Fig. 1 shows the mold 12 with the shape that is substantially similar to bent axle shown in Fig. 3 24.Should be appreciated that mold 12 can have the shape of any required cast object, for example engine block, cylinder head, complicated transmission assembly or the like.
Cast gate 14 forms the pipeline (not shown) in mould, this pipeline comprises inlet 26, is communicated with to provide with the fluid of mold 12 and rising head 16.Fig. 1 shows and is positioned near the cast gate 14 in Casting Equipment 10 bottoms.Should be appreciated that as required cast gate 14 can be arbitrary dimension or shape, and cast gate 14 can be positioned at other zone of Casting Equipment 10.
Rising head 16 is suitable for forming the container (not shown), and this container prevents because the molten material (not shown) forms cavity or pore in required cast object in the contraction of its cooling period.Fig. 1 shows a pair of rising head 16, and wherein each rising head 16 is communicated with each mold 12.As long as should be appreciated that the molten material that can provide an amount of in rising head 16 to prevent forming cavity or pore in cast object, just can use the rising head of arbitrary shape, size, position and quantity.It is also understood that molten material can be as required be metal or nonmetal arbitrarily.
In use, Casting Equipment 10 is full of molten material by the pipeline that the inlet 26 by cast gate 14 forms, and wherein Casting Equipment 10 comprises the cavity that is formed by mold 12.For example, in sand casting, in sand mo(u)ld, form cavity and pipeline.Molten material flows through Casting Equipment 10, is full of mold 12 and rising head 16.
In case the die cavity that forms by model 12 is full of, just allow the molten material cooling.Because the density when material is liquid is lower than the density when solid-state, so when required cast object was cooled off, its volume that occupies can reduce.Therefore, might form cavity or pore, usually the most last point of curing.Rising head 16 prevents to form cavity or pore by extra molten material is provided to mold 12 in required cast object.Therefore, when molten material solidified and shrink, the cavity of all formation or pore all were formed in the rising head 16 like this, rather than in required cast object.In case required cast object has cured and fully cooling, just opens mould or removes mould from cast object.Come the hardened material of the cavity of free cast gate 14 and rising head 16 formation to be connected to required cast object.Use methods known in the art from the hardened material of required cast object removal, then it is abandoned or re-uses from cast gate 14 and rising head 16.
Fig. 2 shows the foundry goods of making for from the Casting Equipment of Fig. 1, and temperature is with respect to the curve 27 of time.Curve 27 comprises temperature axis 28 (Y-axis), time shaft 30 (X-axis), bead wire 32, main part separated time 34, bar line 36, knockout (shakeout) line 32 and eutectoid line 40.

Knockout line 38 usefulness curves were represented when the time period when mould is removed bent axle 24.Shown knockout line 38 is positioned at the time place between 100 (100) minutes and 110 (110) minutes.Should be appreciated that size or shape based on required cast object, be used for making temperature range or other similar factor of the material of required cast object, knockout line 38 can be represented the required time period arbitrarily.
Eutectoid line 40 usefulness curves represent to take place the temperature of eutectoid reaction.Eutectoid reaction occurs in such reaction, and wherein, when cooling, a solid phase isothermal reversibly is transformed into two new solid phases that closely mix.Fig. 2 shows eutectoid line 40 and is in roughly 700 degrees centigrade temperature.Should be appreciated that the temperature that eutectoid reaction takes place can change based on being used for casting the material behavior of required cast object.Therefore, eutectoid line 40 can be other temperature, and this depends on employed material.Should be appreciated that some alloys can not experience eutectoid reaction, for example aluminium alloy; But can control its solidification rate or freezing rate as required, to influence the intensity of alloy by other similar characteristics that changes grain size number, dendrite arm spacing or alloy.
Bead wire 32, main part separated time 34 and bar line 36 pass knockout line 38 simultaneously, and the different piece of the bent axle 24 shown in continues cooling with different speed then.Bead wire 32, main part separated time 34 and bar line 36 pass eutectoid line 40 at different time.The time of bead wire 32 between 100 (100) minutes and 110 (110) minutes is passed eutectoid line 40, and it is at knockout after the period.The time of main part separated time 34 between 60 (60) minutes and 70 (70) minutes is passed eutectoid line 40, and it is at knockout before the period.The time of bar line 36 between 40 (40) minutes and 50 (50) minutes is passed eutectoid line 40, and it is also at knockout before the period.Be to be understood that, based on the size and dimension of required cast object, be used to make the temperature range of material of required cast object or characteristic, used casting method or other similar factor, bead wire 32, main part 34 and bar line 36 can pass eutectoid line 40 at any time.Because bead wire 32, main part 34 and bar line 36 show different cooldown rates for the different piece of bent axle 24, so the material behavior from 24 1 parts of bent axle to another part changes.
The hardness that Fig. 3 shows the bent axle 24 that uses Casting Equipment 10 formation as known in the art distributes.The inhomogeneous hardness of using Brinell scale that bent axle 24 is shown distributes.By the scale that penetrates of penetrator, the identation hardness of Brinell scale exosyndrome material.The steel ball that 10mm is used in typical test is as penetrator, and the size of power is 3000kgf (29kN).For softer material, use smaller power; For harder material, substitute steel ball with tungsten-carbide ball.Use following formula to calculate hardness: ball hardness number
