Description

Method for fixing ceramic shell for directional solidification
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic shell preparation, in particular to a method for fixing a ceramic shell for directional solidification, which is suitable for preparing single crystal and directional casting ceramic shells.
Background
With the continuous increase of inlet temperature of aero-engines and gas turbines, higher temperature bearing capacity requirements are put forward on hot end parts of cast high-temperature alloys. Cast superalloys have undergone a progression from equiaxed to oriented, single crystal. The directional solidification technology is that a mould shell is placed on a chilling plate, the mould shell is heated to about 1500 ℃ in a heat preservation furnace, then molten high-temperature alloy is poured into the mould shell, and the pouring temperature is generally 1500-. After the molten high-temperature alloy is poured, the shell needs to be continuously heated in a heat-preserving furnace, after standing for a period of time (generally 10min), the shell is drawn at a certain speed (generally 3-10mm/min) to a water-cooling (HRS process) sleeve at the bottom of the heat-preserving furnace or a low-melting-point cooling medium (LMC process), so that the directional solidification of the casting is realized.
Unlike the shells of isometric crystal castings, the greatest feature of the oriented and single crystal shells is that, except for the area where the gates are open, the lower part of the shell, i.e. the bottom of the seed-taking section or spiral seed selector of the casting, must be open: when the shell is placed on the chilling plate and molten high-temperature alloy is poured into the shell, the high-temperature alloy can be in contact with the chilling plate at the opening at the lower part of the shell and is rapidly solidified, and a layer of chilling grains is generated. In addition, because the chilling plate has low temperature, longitudinal temperature gradient is generated for the high-temperature alloy, and the crystal grains of the chilling layer compete for growth, so that a directional columnar crystal structure is generated, or a single crystal structure is formed by passing through a spiral crystal selector.
Although the chilling plate has low temperature (the upper surface temperature is about 400-1600 ℃), the poured molten high-temperature alloy liquid (1500-1600 ℃) cannot be instantly solidified. When the bottom of the shell and the chilling disc cannot be in close contact with each other, molten high-temperature alloy liquid can completely flow out from a gap between the bottom of the shell and the chilling disc, and cannot fill the inner cavity of the shell, so that the steel leakage phenomenon is caused, castings are scrapped, serious economic loss is caused, and equipment is damaged. Therefore, a new shell fixing process is urgently needed to be explored, the close contact degree between the shell and the chilling chassis is enhanced, and the steel leakage phenomenon generated from a gap between the bottom of the shell and the chilling chassis is avoided.
