The insulation shrinkage compensation method of magnesium alloy ingot casting
Technical field
The present invention relates to metallurgical technology field, specially refer to a kind of insulation shrinkage compensation method of magnesium alloy ingot casting.
Background technology
Magnesium alloy has characteristics such as light weight, specific strength height, damping property and capability of electromagnetic shielding be good, has obtained application more and more widely in fields such as defence and military, the vehicles, 3C Products.The processing process of magnesium alloy ingot is melting, casting, and the magnesium alloy ingot after solidifying can be by follow-up extruding and the rolling magnesium alloy product of producing all size.Therefore, the quality of magnesium alloy ingot will influence the performance of subsequent product, and simultaneously, the recovery rate of magnesium alloy ingot also will produce bigger influence to cost.
A large amount of practice and theories show that the solidification shrinkage rate of magnesium alloy from the liquid phase to the solid phase is about 4%, are about 5% from the cubical contraction of high-temperature solid cool to room temperature.Therefore, magnesium alloy solidify with cooling procedure in contraction bigger, cause magnesium alloy ingot to be easy to form comparatively serious shrinkage cavity and rarefaction defect owing to feeding is untimely.Widely used cap pouring port can suppress shrinkage cavity and loose to a certain extent in steel casting though prior art has adopted, but, the density of magnesium alloy is little, thermal capacity is little, it is very fast to cause magnesium alloy to dispel the heat in process of setting, and magnesium alloy chemical character is active, easy oxidizing fire in casting cycle, the effect that makes common cap pouring port is not very outstanding.
Therefore, need to explore a kind of insulation shrinkage compensation method of magnesium alloy ingot casting, substitute the method for using the cap pouring port feeding in the prior art, after preventing to cast solidify with cooling procedure in the magnesium alloy fused mass oxidizing fire, and make the magnesium alloy in course of solidification better heat preservation, the feeding better effects if avoids occurring shrinkage cavity and loose, to improve the quality of magnesium alloy ingot.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the invention provides a kind of insulation shrinkage compensation method of magnesium alloy ingot casting, this method utilize kerosene inflammable and not with magnesium alloy in the characteristic of composition generation chemical reaction, utilize carbon granules low heat conductivity and loose characteristic simultaneously, the magnesium alloy ingot that casting is finished in the after coagulation process is incubated feeding, reach and make ingot casting avoid occurring shrinkage cavity and loose, improve the purpose of ingot casting quality.
The insulation shrinkage compensation method of magnesium alloy ingot casting of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
A) use the wetting carbon granules of kerosene to obtain the immersion oil carbon granules;
B) magnesium alloy fused mass of in mould, casting, after finishing, casting continues to be sprinkled into equably the immersion oil carbon granules that makes among the step a to bath surface immediately, the immersion oil carbon granules is controlled between the 1-5cm at bath surface burned flame height, and the immersion oil carbon granules was controlled at 5-10 minute in the time of bath surface burning.
Further, described carbon granules is selected carbonization rice husk for use.
The beneficial effect of the invention: the insulation shrinkage compensation method of magnesium alloy ingot casting of the present invention has following advantage:
1) burning-point of kerosene is lower, in the high-temperature fusant surface combustion, near the air the bath surface is consumed, thereby forms separation layer between magnesium alloy fused mass surface and the air in casting die, can effectively prevent the oxidation and the burning of magnesium alloy fused mass; The heat that its burning produces also can play the effect of insulation.Simultaneously, kerosene not can with the common element generation chemical reactions such as Al, Zn in Mg and the magnesium alloy, can not cause the scaling loss of magnesium and alloying element.
2) carbon granules density is much smaller than magnesium alloy fused mass, and thermal conductivity is low, and porosity is higher.Therefore will float over the magnesium alloy fused mass surface after adding, play good insulation effect, effectively prevent the heat radiation and the cooling of magnesium alloy fused mass, thereby make the magnesium alloy fused mass near surface in the casting die be in liquid state all the time, the magnesium alloy that the casting die lower end has been solidified forms effective feeding effect.Simultaneously, carbon granules can not react with magnesium alloy fused mass, can not worsen the quality of magnesium alloy fused mass.
3) kerosene and the carbon granules final combustion product after fully is a carbon dioxide, do not produce residue substantially, and carbon dioxide also has certain refining effect to magnesium alloy.
4) selected carbonization rice husk lower cost for material is easy to obtain, and the specific shape of carbonization rice husk self makes its porosity height, and result of use is better.
The specific embodiment
Below will describe in detail the present invention:
