Technical field
What the present invention relates to is a kind of method of Investment casting technology field, specifically a kind of take Ludox as binding agent, the shell surface layer manufacture method for precision stainless steel casting of carrying out alternative zircon sand with fused magnesite.
Background technology
Model casting, also known as " lost-wax casting ", is a kind of rapid metallic prototyping technique of near net-shape, and its application widely.This technology is not only applicable to the casting of all kinds, various alloy, and the casting dimension accuracy produced is high, and surface quality is good, is particularly useful for other casting method and is difficult to the complex structure prepared, the foundry goods not easily processed.Along with industrial circle improving constantly castings desire such as aviation, automobile, lathe, boats and ships, internal combustion engine, steam turbine, telecommunication equipment, weapon, medicine equipment and cutters, Investment casting technology is obtained for significant progress from material, equipment and process aspect.
In casting process, the preparation technology of ceramic shell and quality control thereof are one of key factors determining casting dimension accuracy, metallurgical quality.Wherein especially important with the shell surface layer in shell, this is because shell surface layer directly contacts with metal bath, subject the thermomechanical of high-temperature fusant, heat chemistry effect, the surface smoothness of foundry goods also directly depends on shell surface layer simultaneously.At present, the binding agent that domestic and international making shell surface layer adopts is waterglass or Ludox, with silica flour, α-high-temperature oxydation aluminium powder, zirconium English powder or mullite powder etc. for raw material preparation surface layer slurry, and with quartz sand, emergy, zircon sand or mullite sand for sanding material.Although wherein sodium silicate shell is cheap, its rate of drying is slow, intensity is low, and gradually replace by Ludox; And in above-mentioned various refractory materials, the shell surface layer foundry goods surface smoothness of pouring into a mould made with zirconium English powder (sand) although for raw material is best, its price is high, adds casting cost.In the precision-investment casting of various alloy, the pouring temperature of stainless cast steel part is often beyond 1600 DEG C, except zirconium English powder (sand), the cast(ing) surface that the shell surface layer made with quartz, aluminium oxide, mullite is poured into a mould is coarse, have impact on the quality of foundry goods, simultaneous oxidation aluminium surface layer also can cause the phenomenon of foundry goods scab.Therefore for model casting industry, especially stainless steel casting industry, selecting and have that cost is low, refractoriness is high and the refractory material of pyroreaction do not occur to make shell surface layer with stainless steel melt, is its urgent demand.
Through finding the retrieval of prior art, Chinese patent literature CN101362184A, publication date: 20090211, describe a kind of stainless steel, the manufacture method of carbon steel precision casting surface shell, this technology adopts Ludox to be binding agent, 300 object zirconium English powder are that primary raw material has prepared surface layer slurry, then using 80-100 object mullite sand as molding sand raw material, make for stainless steel, the surface shell of cast carbon steel, because the price of mullite sand is lower than zircon sand, therefore with traditional with zircon sand, zirconium English powder is that surface shell prepared by raw material is compared, cost only reduces 10-20%, owing to have employed the primary raw material of zirconium English powder as surface shell coating, cost is still far above using quartz as the surface shell of primary raw material.
Fused magnesite is the high pure oxide that high-quality giobertite is formed in electric arc furnaces after high-temperature fusion, its main feature is: structural integrity, dense structure, fusing point high (reaching 2800 DEG C), stable chemical performance, compressive resistance is large, insulating properties are strong, and resistance to erosion is corrosion-resistant, being the important source material of metallurgy, building materials, light industry, furnace lining and loose shape material, is also the indispensable important refractory materials of industry such as iron and steel, cement, glass, non-ferrous metal metallurgy.Its main application is: in metallurgical refractory industry, make the special quality fire-bricks such as the auxiliary refractory material such as high-purity fused magnesite, gunning refractory, ramming mass and steel flow port brick, magnesia brick, magnesite-chrome brick, also can do refractory lining on vacuum and non-vacuum induction furnace, electric arc furnaces, be the desirable feedstock making magnesia crucible, flue and various high warm sleeve.
In price, fused magnesite is only about 5% of zircon sand, also lower than electrofused mullite, a little more than quartz sand, simultaneously because its chemical property is alkalescent, good with alkaline silica sol binding agent compatibility, therefore can as the refractory material manufacturing high performance-price ratio ceramic shell surface layer, for the casting of the alloy of pouring temperature more than 1600 DEG C, especially stainless casting.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to prior art above shortcomings, a kind of shell surface layer manufacture method for precision stainless steel casting is proposed, expensive for zircon sand class ceramic shell surface layer in stainless steel casting industry, and quartz, aluminium oxide or mullite class shell surface layer cause the deficiency of surface quality of continuous castings difference etc., it is binding agent with Ludox that object is to provide a kind of, take fused magnesite as the shell surface layer manufacture method of refractory raw material, not only cost is low for made shell surface layer, and all other performance indications all can reach precision stainless steel casting requirement.
