(2) negative-pressure firing starts vacuum pumping pump before the cast, be evacuated to vacuum degree and be-40～-80Kpa promptly lights Foam Pattern afterwards, and making Foam Pattern was that combustion gasification stays intact ghost in tens seconds;

(3) ghost cast, treat that Foam Pattern is burnt till ghost after, be-25 at vacuum degree～-state of 50Kpa under, pour into a mould iron and steel water immediately;

(4) gas velocity is cold, after cast finishes, when the foundry goods top layer is in the liquid-solid phase coexisting state, raises or cut the plastic sheeting that the sealing of sandbox top covers, and in the powerful suction sandbox of cold air, foundry goods is cooled off fast.Can close vacuum pumping pump after several minutes and stop exhausting.

The time of gas velocity cold (promptly pouring into a mould the final vacuum pump that finishes works on) decides according to the size of foundry goods:

(1) conventional structure 200kg/ spare is heavy middle-size and small-size foundry goods 3-4 minute;

(2) conventional structure 200-500kg/ spare is heavy middle-size and small-size foundry goods 4-5 minute;

(3) conventional structure 500-1000kg/ spare is heavy middle-size and small-size foundry goods 5-6 minute;

(4) the relatively large foundry goods that conventional structure 1000kg/ spare is heavy is more than 6 minutes.

Described Foam Pattern elder generation combustion gas changes into after the ghost cast and with the cold elimination carbon defects of gas velocity, promote that simultaneously coating is to determine to break original negative pressure state in the temperature province of iron and steel water liquid phase-solid phase coexistence of different Cheng Du with reference to the Fe-FeC phasor with operating process that foundry goods is peeled off automatically, the input cold air flows.
