The water-soluble core mould material is a composite material which is made up by using various water-soluble adhesives to bind some fillers together, and according to the requirements of use making them into the product with a certain form, and in the range of application temp. it possesses a certain mechanical property and can retain its form, and when demoulding, it uses the solvent of water, etc. to make it disperse, then demoulding so as to obtain the invented product. The method has the advantages of high forming precision, low cost, high efficiency, easy demoulding and the like, and is widely applied to various casting and composite material manufacturing industries with strict requirements on high standards.
Water-soluble core materials have since the advent undergone various stages of development, primarily around the development of water-soluble adhesives throughout their development. Although there are many different kinds of water-soluble adhesives, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylate organic polymer adhesives and natural polymer compounds are mainly used to meet the requirements of use. The starch derivative can improve the water solubility of the core mold material on the basis of ensuring the mechanical property of the core mold due to the unique structural characteristics of the starch derivative. However, due to the defects of the adhesives, such as low bonding strength, difficulty in meeting the production requirements of water solubility, complex water-soluble treatment process, high cost and the like, the strict requirements of the adhesives for the water-soluble core mold material in various fields at present are difficult to meet, so that the application range of the water-soluble core mold material is limited.
The improvement of the water-soluble core material has been mainly made around the development of an adhesive to be used, and the attention on the filler to be used for the core material has not been sufficient. This also limits the development of mandrel materials to some extent. The traditional filler has the problems of high density, irregular shape, easy stress concentration and the like, so that the use requirements of some high-performance core die materials are difficult to meet. The selection of a proper water-soluble adhesive and a filler matched with the adhesive to manufacture the water-soluble core mold material is a main development direction in the future.
