Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the cast form field of metal, a kind of method that improves the liquid metal mold-filling capacity is provided especially.
Technical background
Liquid metal is shaped and comprises filling casting mold/mold cavity and two processes of cooled and solidified.Mold-filling capacity is not enough easily to produce the defectives such as misrun, shrinkage cavity or shrinkage porosite, pore, hot tearing, can't obtain the complex thin-wall foundry goods of clear-cut, and then have a strong impact on the mechanical property of foundry goods.Can improve from following two aspects the mold-filling capacity of liquid metal: (1) improves its mold-filling capacity by the flowability that improves liquid metal.The main thought of the method is to adjust or the interpolation alloying component, such as patent 03150926.6 and 200610159739.2.Patent 03150926.6 improves Al content, reduction Zn content in the alloy on existing AZ91 alloy basis, add rich Ce mixed rare earth and Ti element, increases in right amount the content of Be element, and purpose is to reduce the viscosity of liquid metal to improve mold-filling capacity.Chemical composition, introducing impurity element that the subject matter of the method is to change original alloy bring other problem when improving mold-filling capacity.(2) improve the mold-filling capacity of liquid metal by applying certain external condition: special coating is a kind of effective mode, such as patent 200810010437.8,03108033.2 and 200610159739.2, but bad adaptability and can pollute liquid metal.Producing negative pressure between liquid metal and mold cavity is a kind of approach, improves mold-filling capacity by negative pressure, such as patent 200810046636.4,88106919.1,200410009617.6 and 200510042917.9.This thought is widely adopted at present, but negative pressure is normally passed through the realization of pressure or vacuum, and the complicated cost of equipment is high.Another kind of mode is to apply a vibration/oscillating field to improve mold-filling capacity in liquid state, filled with metal mold cavity process, and such as patent 201110025744.5, but cost is high.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the deficiency that existing method exists, propose the auxiliary method of filling type raising liquid metal mold-filling capacity of DC current.
Basic principle of the present invention is to utilize DC current to improve the interfacial tension of liquid metal.If liquid metal connects the anode of dc source, conductive die connects negative electrode, and then the contact surface of liquid metal and mould consists of electrode and Presence of an interface tension force.This interfacial tension is not only relevant with the material of boundary layer, and closely related with the excess charges density of both sides, interface.Therefore, can reconcile interfacial tension by reconciling the direct current strength of flow.According to solidification theory, the auxiliary wetability that type can reduce liquid metal and mould contact surface, the heterogeneous forming core reduction viscosity in the inhibition cavity filling process, and then the raising mold-filling capacity that improves liquidity of filling of DC current.Improve simultaneously feeding, reduce shrinkage cavity and porosity and ardent tendency, and then improve compactness and the mechanical property of foundry goods.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions.
Mould/casting mold is designed to conductive die/casting mold, the anode of DC current is connect the liquid metal end, the negative electrode of DC current connects conductive die/casting mold end, in the liquid metal cavity filling process, liquid towards metal end and conductive die/casting mold end applies DC current, to improve the interfacial tension of liquid metal, improve its mold-filling capacity.
The DC current that applies of the present invention, its strength range is 5-15A, should be according to the chemical composition of liquid metal when specifically selecting and the temperature when filling type determine.
DC current of the present invention puts on whole liquid metal cavity filling process, fills type until liquid metal and DC current is disconnected after complete.
DC current of the present invention loop is made of the liquid metal in the cavity filling process and conductive die/casting mold.
Method of the present invention is by realizing with lower device.
Device of the present invention comprises heating casting ladle (1), draw the cork (2), tungsten electrode (4), dc source (5), metal die (6) and mold cavity (7).Liquid metal (3) places in the heating casting ladle (1), tungsten electrode (4) inserts in the liquid metal (3) and joins with the anode of dc source (5), metal die (6) joins with the negative electrode of dc source (5), and draw the cork (2) are inserted in heating cast gate place, casting ladle (1) lower end.To heat casting ladle (1) and come downwards to the top of the entrance of mold cavity (7), but not contact with mould (6).Unlatching is drawn the cork (2), and liquid metal (3) flows into mold cavity (7), in case liquid metal (3) contacts with the surface of mold cavity (7), current loop consists of, and direct current plays a role.Obtain different liquid metal mold-filling capacity by adjusting current strength.
Advantage of the present invention is: the present invention utilizes DC current to improve the interfacial tension of liquid metal, need not change chemical composition, does not pollute filling shaped material; Method enforcement of the present invention is simple, flexible, cost is low, and method of the present invention can improve the mold-filling capacity of all electrically conductive liquid materials in conductive die/casting mold.
