After the size design of the mold core is completed, the foam is cut and molded by using a linear cutting device, and splicing and assembling are carried out by using sticky wax to prepare the easily-decomposed foam mold core corresponding to a casting product.
And 2, preparing the high-temperature-resistant inert coating on the inner wall. Given that yttria is chemically stable enough not to react with molten metal, a nanoscale yttria powder was used to mix yttria sol according to a mass 2:1 as the inner wall high temperature resistant coating, and adding a surfactant. Spraying yttrium oxide coating on the surface of the easily decomposed foam mold core, uniformly sticking a layer of 300-mesh yttrium oxide fine sand after spraying, drying for 12 hours at the temperature of 23-28 ℃ under the environment of 55-65% of humidity, and repeating the coating and drying operation for 2-3 times until an yttrium oxide coating shell with the thickness of more than 3mm is formed on the surface of the easily decomposed foam mold core.
And 3, preparing an outer side reinforcing support coating. Mixing mullite powder with silica sol according to the mass ratio of 3.5:1 as reinforcing support coating, and adding surfactant. The mullite coating is uniformly coated outside the yttria coating shell, a layer of mullite sand with 120 meshes is uniformly adhered and hung, and after the mullite sand is dried for 12 hours at the temperature of 23-28 ℃ and under the humidity of 55-65%, the coating and drying operation is repeated for 15-20 times until the total thickness of the mullite reinforced support coating shell reaches more than 30 mm.
And 4, decomposing the mold core and sintering the mold shell. And (3) sintering the easily-decomposed foam mold core externally coated with the yttrium oxide high-temperature-resistant inert coating and the mullite reinforced support coating by adopting heat preservation at 950 ℃ for 4 hours to ensure that the coating is sintered and strengthened, and obtaining the mold shell serving as the casting mold after the foam mold core is completely combusted and decomposed.
And 5, casting. Embedding the mould shell into a magnesia barrel to ensure uniform heat conduction, enabling a riser above the mould shell to be 4-5 mm higher than magnesia, smelting an alloy ingot to 1200 ℃, injecting the alloy ingot into a mould shell under a vacuum condition, cooling, and breaking the mould shell to obtain a casting.
And 6, processing. And (3) after the stress relief annealing is carried out on the casting at 800 ℃, a dead head is cut off, and the size of the casting is finely trimmed.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
compared with the existing preparation method of the conventional alloy casting, the preparation method has the following remarkable advantages:
1) The manufacturing process of the casting mould of the invention uses a large amount of light materials such as foam, the total weight is light and convenient to operate, and the casting mould occupies small space.
2) The invention is one-time integral liquid forming, has high size precision and avoids flash and dislocation.
