The embodiment of the application discloses a casting method of a large thick-wall casting, taking a turret for a machine tool as shown in fig. 1 as an example, so as to facilitate understanding of the technical concept of the application. The turret is a gray cast iron casting, the outer side of the casting is integrally polygonal, two layers of ladder steps are arranged at the top of the casting, and a hole-shaped structure is arranged at the inner side of the casting. The application adopts a casting method of sequential solidification to effectively eliminate shrinkage porosity defect, and concretely, the casting method can comprise the following steps:
s1, parting design, namely parting a large plane at the bottom of a turret casting, wherein the turret casting is integrally arranged on a cope flask;

s3, modeling, namely sleeving the cope flask on the model to enable sand to flow, compacting, modeling and lifting; arranging a pouring system in a drag flask for sand flowing and compacting molding;
s4, closing the box, namely placing the cope flask on the drag flask and fixing the cope flask;
s5, pouring, namely, pouring molten metal into a casting cavity through a pouring system, sequentially solidifying the molten metal in the cavity according to a preset temperature gradient, namely, the solidification sequence from a first end to a second end, and feeding by adopting a riser at the tail end of a liquid phase of the casting in cooperation with the sequential solidification.
In the embodiment disclosed by the application, the temperature gradient of the molten metal in the cavity can be controlled by adopting the structure of the special cope flask so as to realize sequential solidification of the molten metal, and the molten metal is matched with the feeding head arranged at the tail end of the liquid phase of the casting, so that liquid-phase island cannot be generated in the casting, and the shrinkage porosity defect of the casting is thoroughly eliminated.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the special cope flask may include a flask main body 110, and as in the conventional flask, a flask mouth plate 111 is provided at an opening of the flask main body 110, and a plurality of lugs 112 are provided at intervals on the flask mouth plate 111 for positioning and limiting a mold close between the cope flask and the drag flask; the opposite outer sides of the flask body 110 are provided with hanging shafts 113 for hanging the cope flask. Unlike conventional flasks, a cooling assembly is fixedly provided in the flask body 110 for controlling the temperature gradient of the molten metal in the cavity. The cooling assembly is configured to follow the casting, and the overall structure of the cooling assembly is in the shape of a pagoda, and may include an outer shell 120 configured to follow the casting outer wall and top wall, and an inner shell 130 configured to follow the casting (hole-like structure) inner wall. The cooling assembly is fixedly arranged in the sand box main body 110 through a plurality of connecting ribs 114, and the connecting ribs 114 are used for connecting the sand box main body 110 and the cooling assembly on one hand and strengthening the cope flask on the other hand.
The housing 120 may have a polygonal, stepped structure corresponding to the polygonal, stepped structure of the turret; the inner case 130 may be cylindrical and fixedly provided at the center of the outer case 120 corresponding to the hole structure of the turret; the inner wall of the outer shell 120 and the outer wall of the inner shell 130 form a receiving cavity 140 for receiving the pattern 400 and the sand mold. In the molding step, the pattern 400 may be placed in the accommodating cavity 140, and the sand may be flowed into the accommodating cavity 140 and compacted, and the sand mold may be formed after the sand is solidified. Compared with the traditional casting method, the embodiment only fills sand in the accommodating cavity 140, but not the whole cope flask, so that the sand amount for casting is reduced, the casting cost is saved, the weight of the flask is reduced, and the sand-iron ratio of the cope flask is effectively reduced. Specifically, the outer sand layer 310 may be formed by filling sand between the pattern 400 and the outer shell 120, the inner sand layer 320 may be formed by filling sand between the pattern 400 and the inner shell 130, and the outer sand layer 310 and the inner sand layer 320 may together form a casting cavity after the pattern is drawn.
The sand layer thickness of sand mould is far less than traditional casting in this embodiment, and cooling module can be the iron material, and it accelerates the cooling rate of molten metal in the die cavity to through the combined action of inner shell 130 and shell 120, all accelerate the cooling from the inner wall and the outer wall of die cavity, improve the whole cooling rate of foundry goods, further promote foundry goods quality. In this embodiment, the thickness of the inner shell 130 is the same throughout, and the cooling gradient of the molten metal in the cavity can be controlled by the change of the wall thickness of the outer shell 120.
Specifically, the housing 120 may include a first portion 121, two second portions 122 respectively fixed to two ends of the first portion 121, a third portion 123 disposed opposite to the first portion 121, and two second portions 122 respectively fixed to two ends of the third portion 123. The direct chill 200 may be provided inside the first portion 121 such that a first end 311 having the greatest cooling rate is formed therein; the third portion 123 is the thinnest wall thickness of the three portions of the housing 120 and is spaced from the cavity by an outer sand layer 310, where a second end 312 with the minimum cooling rate is formed; the second portion 122 includes a thick end 1221 and a thin end 1222, and the thickness thereof decreases gradually from the thick end 1221 to the thin end 1222, the thick end 1221 is connected to the first portion 121, the thin end 1222 is connected to the third portion 123, and the outer sand layer 310 is also spaced between the second portion 122 and the cavity, so that a decreasing area is formed between the cooling rate corresponding to the thick end 1221 and the thin end 1222. In this embodiment, by means of the direct cooling iron 200 and the sand-insulation gradual-change shell 120, a temperature gradient is formed from the first end 311 to the second end 312, i.e. the solidification sequence is controlled from the first end 311 to the second end 312; and, the liquid phase tail end of the casting is fed by matching with the riser arranged near the second end 312, so that the shrinkage porosity defect of the casting is thoroughly eliminated, and the casting quality is improved.
Further, the inner shell 130 corresponding to the uniform wall thickness, and the inner sand layer 320 is also equal in thickness everywhere; the thickness of the outer sand layer 310 increases gradually from its corresponding thick end 1221 to its corresponding thin end 1222, and the thickness of the outer sand layer 310 at its corresponding third portion 123 is greater than its corresponding second portion 122, so that the cooling gradient from the first end 311 to the second end 312 is further increased by controlling the combination of the positive thickness gradient of the outer shell 120 and the negative thickness gradient of the outer sand layer 310.
Preferably, the thickness of thick end 1221 may be 3/4 of the maximum wall thickness of the casting, and the wall thickness of thin end 1222, first portion 121, third portion 123, and/or inner shell 130 may be 20mm; the thickness of the inner sand layer 320 was 20mm and the thickness of the outer sand layer 310 at the thinnest point was 20mm.
Of course, to further increase the cooling gradient from the first end 311 to the second end 312, the inner shell 130 may be configured with a positive wall thickness gradient and/or the inner sand layer 320 configured with a negative sand layer thickness gradient.
In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the direct cooling chiller may not be used, as long as the wall thickness of the first portion 121 is increased to be greater than the wall thickness of the second portion 122 or/and the thickness of the outer sand layer 310 corresponding to the first portion 121 is reduced to be smaller than the thickness of the outer sand layer 310 corresponding to the second portion 122.
In the disclosed embodiment, the outer side of the inner shell 130 and/or the inner side of the outer shell 120 may be provided with a plurality of sand hanging members (not shown) to enhance the connection effect of the cooling assembly and the sand mold.
