Stepped casting system for engine cylinder block
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of casting, in particular to a stepped pouring system for an engine cylinder block.
Background
The quality of a diesel engine block, which is the core component of the engine, directly affects the performance and life of the engine. Therefore, in the casting process of the cylinder body, the adoption of a reasonable casting process is important. The sand casting process is widely applied to the production of diesel engine cylinder blocks due to the characteristics of good adaptability, high cost efficiency and the like. However, in the actual production process, the design of the casting system and the problem of casting defects have always plagued the manufacturing enterprises.
In the cylinder casting process, casting of liquid metal is a key link. The three-layer step casting mode adopted at present ensures the fluidity and feeding effect of molten metal to a certain extent, but still has a plurality of problems. Firstly, the structure of the casting system is complex, comprising bottom casting and upper and lower middle casting, which undoubtedly increases the operation difficulty in the production process. Secondly, the straight-hole ceramic filter screen has a certain effect in the aspect of filtering impurities, but the defect of the casting is still difficult to completely avoid.
Common casting defects in the production process include slag holes, shrinkage porosity, air holes, sand holes and the like. Slag holes are formed mainly because impurities in the die cavity or low-melting-point substances in the liquid metal enter the die cavity, so that holes are formed. These holes are irregularly shaped, shallow in depth, smooth and shiny, coloured, enamel-like material on the inner surface of the hole. The existence of slag holes seriously affects the strength and sealing performance of castings, and can cause the problems of oil leakage, air leakage and the like in the working process of the engine.
The three-layer stepped casting system ensures the molding quality of the castings to a certain extent, but increases the grinding workload of the castings. In the processing process, the cylinder body casting needs to be strictly checked to ensure that the defects of slag holes, shrinkage porosity and the like are avoided. However, due to the existence of casting defects, castings are often scrapped, which not only increases production cost but also reduces production efficiency.
