The overflow slag ladle is designed in the pouring system, and the position of the slag ladle, the size and shape of the slag ladle, and the position of the exhaust plug are designed and optimized, as well as the obtained pouring system.
背景技术Background technique
在节能减排压力和新能源汽车性能提升需求的双重推动下,汽车轻量化进程正在加速,其中汽车底盘轻量化为新蓝海,铝合金材质的电池包、副车架、控制臂、转向节等渗透率不断提升,越来越多的薄壁铸件、空心铸件和高集成度的铝合金材质的大尺寸铸件推向市场。Driven by the pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction and the demand for performance improvement of new energy vehicles, the lightweight process of automobiles is accelerating. Among them, the lightweight of automobile chassis is a new blue ocean, and the battery pack, subframe, control arm, steering knuckle, etc. made of aluminum alloy The penetration rate continues to increase, and more and more thin-walled castings, hollow castings and large-scale castings made of aluminum alloys with high integration are introduced to the market.
大尺寸铸件的轻量化设计通常有以下特点:1)由多个零件集成结构改为整体铸件结构,尺寸大且形状复杂,铸件不同部位技术要求有明显的区别;2)铸件壁厚进一步减薄,按成型工艺的最小极限厚度设计;3)为提高轻量化效果,铸件设计为空心结构。The lightweight design of large-scale castings usually has the following characteristics: 1) The integrated structure of multiple parts is changed to an integral casting structure, which is large in size and complex in shape, and the technical requirements of different parts of the casting are obviously different; 2) The wall thickness of the casting is further reduced , designed according to the minimum limit thickness of the molding process; 3) In order to improve the lightweight effect, the casting is designed as a hollow structure.
CN114653924A公开了一种复杂薄壁件补缩路径的低压铸造浇注系统,采用了T型横浇道、底注式直浇道、侧注式直浇道、柱式内浇道和缝隙式内浇道结合的方式,以解决几何形状复杂,壁厚较薄,纵向高度差异大的L型铝合金铸件铸造过程中容易产生缩松缩孔、力学性能不佳等问题。CN105033223A公开了一种金属铝环低压铸造用浇注系统,包括直浇道、横浇道和內浇口等,每个铸型型腔所在区域的砂芯的外侧壁上呈环形均匀分布有若干凸体。通过一模数出,节约生产成本。但以上的低压铸造浇注系统均不适合大尺寸复杂薄壁轻量化铸件的低压铸造制备。因为大尺寸复杂薄壁轻量化铸件的结构特点导致铸件铸造热节分散,需要设置多个浇口对热节位置补缩,这给传统低压铸造的充型工艺带来很大的挑战,金属液因充型过程中流程长、流场复杂,会产生较多前端冷料、氧化夹杂和卷气,严重影响铸件质量。CN114653924A discloses a low-pressure casting gating system for complex thin-walled parts feeding path, which adopts T-shaped runner, bottom-casting sprue, side-casting sprue, column-type sprue and slot-type sprue In order to solve the problems of shrinkage porosity and poor mechanical properties during the casting process of L-shaped aluminum alloy castings with complex geometry, thin wall thickness and large longitudinal height difference. CN105033223A discloses a casting system for metal aluminum ring low-pressure casting, including sprue, runner and inner gate, etc. The outer sidewall of the sand core in the area where each casting cavity is located is annularly evenly distributed with several convexities body. Through one module, the production cost is saved. However, the above low-pressure casting gating systems are not suitable for the preparation of low-pressure casting of large-scale, complex, thin-walled and lightweight castings. Due to the structural characteristics of large-scale, complex, thin-walled and lightweight castings, the casting hot spots are scattered, and multiple gates need to be set to feed the hot spots, which brings great challenges to the filling process of traditional low-pressure casting. Due to the long process and complex flow field during the filling process, more front-end cold materials, oxidized inclusions and entrained air will be generated, which seriously affects the quality of castings.
目前通常在升液管顶部进入铸件型腔前的位置安放过滤网来减少金属液中氧化物和夹杂,但对于金属液穿过过滤网后形成的卷气和二次氧化夹渣没有效果。传统采用的金属型低压铸造工艺成型方式已无法满足高性能空心整体副车架、电池包等大尺寸复杂薄壁铝合金铸件的生产。At present, the filter screen is usually placed at the position before the top of the riser pipe enters the casting cavity to reduce oxides and inclusions in the molten metal, but it has no effect on the entrainment and secondary oxidation slag inclusions formed after the molten metal passes through the filter screen. The traditional metal mold low-pressure casting process can no longer meet the production of large-scale complex thin-walled aluminum alloy castings such as high-performance hollow integral subframes and battery packs.
对于减少前段冷料、氧化夹杂和卷气方造成的问题,在铸造浇注系统设计时,往往采用在金属液最先冲击、汇合处或最后成型部位设计集渣包和排气槽的方式来避免。但在实际空心整体副车架、电池包等大尺寸零部件铸造工艺的设计上主要靠工人的经验来判断,其改进优化通过试错的方式来实现,效率低,周期长、成本比较高,缺乏有效合理的工艺设计方法。In order to reduce the problems caused by the cold material in the front section, oxidation inclusions and air entrapment, in the design of the casting gating system, the slag bag and the exhaust groove are often designed at the first impact, confluence or last forming part of the molten metal to avoid the problems. . However, the actual design of the casting process for large-scale components such as hollow integral subframes and battery packs is mainly judged by the experience of workers. The improvement and optimization are realized by trial and error, which has low efficiency, long cycle and relatively high cost. Lack of effective and reasonable process design methods.

如图1所示,为本发明的整体式副车架低压铸造浇注示意图,包括升液管1、整体式副车架本体2、渣包等。As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of low-pressure casting and pouring of the integral subframe of the present invention, including a
步骤1:将该整体式副车架低压铸造工艺方案进行模流分析,在分析过程中,铸件材料选择为铸铝A356合金,初始浇注温度选择为720℃,初始模具温度选择为350℃,设计从整体式副车架的两侧和中央共计三个升液管1进行充型,如图1所示;升液速率设置为20mbar/s,型腔中升液速率设置为8mbar/s。模流计算包括铸件充型和粒子追踪,充型过程中铝液通过升液管进入模具,并充满整体式副车架本体2。Step 1: Perform mold flow analysis on the low-pressure casting process plan of the integral subframe. During the analysis process, the casting material is selected as cast aluminum A356 alloy, the initial pouring temperature is selected as 720 ℃, and the initial mold temperature is selected as 350 ℃. Filling is performed from a total of three
步骤2:如图2所示,根据模流分析结果中充型流动和粒子追踪的结果,确定在副车架前横梁3的中部存在两股金属液交汇紊流的情况,初步选定在该位置两侧各设置一个溢流渣包4以收集金属液前端冷料、紊流卷气和二次氧化物。Step 2: As shown in Figure 2, according to the results of mold flow analysis and particle tracking, it is determined that there are two turbulent flows of molten metal in the middle of the
步骤3:选定渣包位置后,向铸件上部移动分型线5,将所述分型线5由平直形状修改为坡形,如图3所示,经过设计使渣包位于最后充型完成的位置,以达到集渣、排溢效果。并在铸件上设计导流作用的第一形状特征6,以增加金属液流入溢流渣包的趋势。在本实施方式中,该第一形状特征6为设于铸件表面的菱形导流槽,该菱形导流槽两边之间的夹角分别为32°和148°,并根据流动情况确定导流槽的深度,经过设计,选择使导流槽的深度:边长=1:3.7。Step 3: After selecting the position of the slag ladle, move the
步骤4:设计渣包颈宽度和厚度:根据模流分析中粒子追踪轨迹的金属液紊流的范围设计渣包颈宽度为40mm;渣包颈厚度为了便于后续去除,初步按最薄的2mm设计;为了避免渣包热量影响铸件凝固顺序,初步按最长的15mm设计。Step 4: Design the width and thickness of the slag neck: According to the range of the molten metal turbulence of the particle tracking track in the mold flow analysis, the width of the slag neck is designed to be 40mm; the thickness of the slag neck is initially designed to be the thinnest 2mm for the convenience of subsequent removal. ; In order to prevent the heat of the slag bag from affecting the solidification sequence of the casting, the initial design is based on the longest 15mm.
设计渣包颈与铸件交界形状:如图5所示,渣包颈与铸件交界长边圆角R1设计为1.3*渣包颈厚度= 2.6。根据初步模流分析中粒子追踪流向,渣包短边与铸件交界圆角R2设计为10,使粒子追踪轨迹平滑进入渣包,避免在铸件和渣包颈中产生漩涡、空穴。渣包颈与渣包交界圆角R3设计为5.2*渣包颈厚度=10.4。Design the junction shape of the slag neck and the casting: as shown in Figure 5, the long edge fillet R1 of the junction between the slag neck and the casting is designed to be 1.3*the thickness of the slag neck = 2.6. According to the particle tracking flow direction in the preliminary mold flow analysis, the fillet R2 at the interface between the short side of the slag bag and the casting is designed to be 10, so that the particle tracking trajectory can smoothly enter the slag bag and avoid vortices and cavities in the casting and the slag bag neck. The fillet R3 at the junction of the slag bag neck and the slag bag is designed to be 5.2*the thickness of the slag bag neck=10.4.
步骤5:渣包位于两股铝液交汇位置,顺应金属液流动方向将渣包形状设计为双圆柱组成的“8”字形,引导金属液在渣包中形成两个漩涡,如图4所示,在两个漩涡中心各设置一个Φ12排气塞。渣包“8”字型单个圆直径设计为Φ45mm,两个圆中心距设计为50mm,渣包厚度设计为24mm,渣包侧面斜度设计为12°,渣包总体积为68.3cm³,在“8”字型正中间设置一个Φ12顶杆便于渣包出模。Step 5: The slag bag is located at the intersection of two strands of molten aluminum, and the shape of the slag bag is designed to be an "8" shape composed of double cylinders in accordance with the flow direction of the molten metal to guide the molten metal to form two vortices in the slag bag, as shown in Figure 4 , and set a Φ12 exhaust plug in each of the two vortex centers. The diameter of a single circle with the "8" shape of the slag bag is designed to be Φ45mm, the center distance of the two circles is designed to be 50mm, the thickness of the slag bag is designed to be 24mm, the side slope of the slag bag is designed to be 12°, and the total volume of the slag bag is 68.3cm³. A Φ12 mandrel is set in the middle of the 8" shape to facilitate the mold release of the slag bag.
步骤6:将增加渣包后的工艺方案再次进行模流分析。对分析结果进行检查后发现:铸件部分空气接触时间<0.3s,说明在充型过程中金属液前端氧化物有效排入渣包。流动状态结果显示粒子追踪轨迹代表的金属液顺畅进入渣包形成漩涡。空气压力结果显示渣包中空气压力均小于1100mbar,渣包中排气塞起到了良好的排气效果。但充型温度显示金属液前端温度在渣包颈中存592℃区域,低于A356合金的液相线约20℃,存在浇不足风险。Step 6: Perform mold flow analysis again on the process plan after adding the slag bag. After checking the analysis results, it is found that the air contact time of the casting part is less than 0.3s, indicating that the oxides at the front end of the molten metal are effectively discharged into the slag bag during the filling process. The flow state results show that the molten metal represented by the particle tracking trajectory smoothly enters the slag bag to form a vortex. The air pressure results show that the air pressure in the slag bag is less than 1100mbar, and the exhaust plug in the slag bag has a good exhaust effect. However, the filling temperature shows that the temperature of the front end of the molten metal is in the region of 592 °C in the slag ladle neck, which is about 20 °C lower than the liquidus of the A356 alloy, and there is a risk of insufficient pouring.
为改善该浇不足风险,将渣包颈厚度增厚至3mm,由于渣包颈厚度变化,对应渣包颈与铸件交界长边圆角R1改为3,渣包颈与渣包交界圆角R2修改为10.8。并将修改后方案的3D数模再次进行模流分析后发现所有指标均满足要求。In order to improve the risk of insufficient pouring, the thickness of the slag bag neck was increased to 3mm. Due to the change in the thickness of the slag bag neck, the corresponding long edge fillet R1 at the junction between the slag bag neck and the casting was changed to 3, and the slag bag neck and the slag bag The boundary fillet R2 Modified to 10.8. After the 3D digital model of the modified scheme is analyzed again, it is found that all the indicators meet the requirements.
