Detailed Description
Currently, in the precision casting industry, when making castings with relatively complex cavities, cores are required to be made inside the wax pattern, the core materials typically including binders and refractory fillers. The binder is mostly water glass, and chloride is needed in the hardening process, so that a large amount of acid mist of hydrogen chloride is generated, and serious pollution is caused to the environment;
in addition, the refractory filler used in the core raw material generally contains alumina, and it is difficult to clean the surface of the casting later, which results in a decrease in quality of the casting and a decrease in yield.
Based on the above situation, the applicant has conducted a great deal of research on the preparation process of the core and the formulation of the raw materials, so as to find a preparation method of the core, which has the advantages of simple process, convenient sand cleaning and environment protection. Through extensive research and experiments, the applicant has found that the above problems can be solved by using silica sol instead of water glass as an adhesive, using a coagulant containing free calcium ions instead of chloride salt, and using quartz sand and zircon powder as refractory filler.
The silicate radical in the silica sol reacts with calcium ions in the coagulant containing free calcium ions to generate calcium silicate gel with higher strength; the hardening treatment by adding chloride salt in the later stage is not needed, the environment is not polluted, and the environment protection requirement is met; when the quartz sand and the zircon powder are used as refractory fillers, because the main components of the quartz sand and the zircon powder do not contain alumina, after a casting is obtained by using a core casting molding, sand cleaning is simpler on the surface of the casting. Through a large amount of researches and experiments of the applicant, the mold core for precision casting, which is simple in process, simple in sand removal and meets the environmental protection requirement, is finally prepared, so that the technical problem of the application is solved.

As can be seen from Table 5, the casting qualification rate of the casting prepared by the application example of the present application is not less than 90%, and the casting qualification rate is higher, which indicates that the quality of the core for precision casting prepared by the application example of the present application is higher.
As can be seen in connection with application example 1 and application comparative example 2 and in connection with table 5, the yield of castings produced in application example 1 was 94% much greater than in application comparative example 2, probably because: in comparative example 2, the accelerator mass in the core stock was higher than 8kg, which may result in a silica sol hardening rate that is too high, resulting in a lower precision core, and thus a lower quality cast, and a lower yield.
As can be seen in connection with application example 1 and application comparative example 3 and in connection with table 5, the yield of castings produced in application example 1 was 94% much greater than in application comparative example 3, probably because: in comparative example 3, water glass was used as a binder instead of silica sol, and the produced cores were inferior in quality and dimensional accuracy, resulting in poor quality castings and low yield.

As can be seen by combining application example 1 and application example 9 and combining table 5, the yield of castings produced by application example 1 was 94% greater than application example 9, which indicates that: the refractory filler selected in example 9 is mullite, alumina is contained in the mullite, and the casting prepared by using the core in example 9 has difficult surface sand removal, so that the qualification rate of the casting is reduced.
As can be seen in combination with application example 1 and application examples 12 to 14 and with table 5, the casting yield of application example 1 and application example 12 was higher than that of application examples 13 to 14, which indicates that: in examples 13 and 14, the temperatures in the coating and hardening crust-making steps were 26℃and 45℃respectively. The temperatures in the examples 1 and 12 are in the range of 28-38 ℃, the temperatures are moderate, the hardening speed of the silica sol is moderate, the hardness of the wax mould is high, the shape is not easy to deform, the precision of the finally prepared core and casting is high, and the rate of the casting is high.
