Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vertical type pressure casting method according to the pre-characterizing portion of claim 1.
- Such a casting method is disclosed in EP-A-0085726, published 17.8.83.
- cast products of a light alloy such as aluminum alloy have generally been manufactured by gravity casting, low-pressure casting and pressure die casting.
- the sleeve-charging percentage is 50-70, and, moreover, the melt is introduced into cavities under pressure at a high rate. Accordingly, the gas in certain portions of the passage for the melt, such as gates, and in the cavities is liable to mix with the melt, decreasing the reliability of the quality of the products.
- Figure 1 shows a vertical type pressure casting apparatus used in the method according to the present invention.
- a lower mold 1 and an upper mold 2 are clamped together to form cavities 3.
- Gates 4 for the cavities 3 face the interior of a sleeve 5.
- a counter-tip 7 connected to a hydraulic cylinder 6, and a plunger tip 9 connected to a hydraulic cylinder 8 are provided opposing each other in lower and upper positions, respectively, in the sleeve 5 such that the counter-tip 7 and plunger tip 9 can be moved up and down therein.
- a solenoid in a changer-over valve 10 connected to hydraulic cylinder 6 is controlled by a limit switch 12 with respect to a dog 11 provided on the rod of plunger tip 9.
- the melt 15 is poured from a melt inlet port 13 into the sleeve 5 by a ladle 14.
- the above apparatus is designed so that the ratio of the volume (cm 3 ) of the product to the cross-sectional area (cm 2 ) of the gates 4, which is one of the construction parameters of the apparatus, is 20-40.
- the operational conditions and a program device for the present invention to be practiced by using the apparatus of this construction are set to attain the following:
- the plunger tip 9 is moved downward to lower the counter-tip 7 through the dog 11 and limit switch 12.
- the relation between the speed V[m/secl at which the plunger tip 9 moves downward and the length of time T[sec] from the commencement of the downward movement of the plunger tip 9 to the opening of the gates 4 by the counter-tip 7, is set to an optimal value with reference to the information shown in Figure 5.
- the speed, at which the plunger tip 9 moves down is set to a level between the upper limit level in an upper limit speed curve R 1' above which the plunger tip 9 moves down too fast and reaches the upper surface of the melt 15 in the sleeve 5 to start the pressure-filling operation before the gates 4 have been opened by the counter-tip 7, and a lower limit level in a lower limit speed curve R 2 , above which the plunger tip 9 reaches the upper surface of the melt 15 in the sleeve 5 after the gates 4 have been fully opened by the counter-tip 7 allowing the melt 15 to flow into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity until the flow of melt 15 has stopped, whereby the melt 15 can be fed to the cavities 3 calmly and continuously at a low rate.
- This relation between the speed of the plunger tip 9 and the length of a period of time between the commencement of the downward movement of the plunger tip 9 and the opening of the gates 4 can also be set differently by varying not only the cross-sectional area of the gates 4 but also the temperatures of the molds 1, 2 and melt 15.
- the percentage of the melt 15 to be fed into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity before the plunger tip 9 reaches the upper surface of the melt 15 in the sleeve 5 is set to 20-70, and the speed of the melt 15 through the gates 4 during the feeding of the melt 15 to the cavities 3 by the force of gravity is set to not less than 0.1 m/sec with the speed of the melt 15 through the gates 4 when pressure-filling the cavities 3 using the plunger tip 9 set to 0.4-0.8 m/sec.
- the molds 1, 2 are clamped as shown in Figure 1 with the casting apparatus set in accordance with the above-mentioned casting conditions and the program device, and the hydraulic cylinder 6 ' is actuated to close the gates 4 with the counter-tip 7. The hydraulic cylinder 8 is then actuated to set the plunger tip 9 to an initial attitude position.
- a predetermined amount of melt 15 is then poured from the melt inlet port 13 into the sleeve 5, and a button for a control unit (not shown) is pressed to actuate the hydraulic cylinder 8 to start the casting operation.
- the counter-tip 7 is moved downward at a predetermined time by operation of the changeover valve 10 before the plunger tip 9 has reached the upper surface of the melt 15 in the sleeve 5 as shown in Figure 2, in accordance with the relation between the set speed and time shown in Figure 5, to open the gates 4.
- the melt 15 then starts flowing from the gates 4 into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity.
- the plunger tip 9 After a predetermined period of time has passed, the plunger tip 9 reaches the upper surface of the melt 15 (which is, of course, flowing into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity) in the sleeve 5. At this time, the percentage of the melt 15 placed in the cavities 3 is 20-70 as mentioned above.
- the melt-feeding by the force of gravity is then changed to pressure-filling as shown in Figure 4.
- the speed of the melt 15 through the gates 4 during pressure-filling by the plunger tip 9 is set to 0.4-0.8 m/sec as mentioned above.
- the melt 15 in the sleeve 5 is fed into the cavities 3 by its own weight, i.e. by the force of gravity, in the initial stage, and under pressure by the plunger tip 9 before the gravity-feeding operation has finished. Since this casting operation is conducted in accordance with the above-mentioned numerically limited conditions, the melt 15 fills the cavities 3 relative calmly and continuously at a low rate without permitting gas to enter the melt 15.
- the melt 15 flows into the cavities 3 by its own weight too quickly, or the gravity-feeding time becomes short, so that the optimum range is narrow.
- this ratio exceeds 40, the injection of the melt 15 into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity progresses too slowly, and the percentage of melt 15 put in the cavities 3 by the force of gravity becomes low, so that the melt 15 which has passed through the gates 4 is disordered, causing gas to mix the melt 15 and cold shut to occur.
- the melt 15 When a gravity-feeding operation is shifted to a pressure-filling operation, the melt 15 should be placed in the cavities 3 relative smoothly, quietly, at a low rate, and in a continuous manner.
- a gravity-feeding percentage When the percentage of the melt 15 which flows into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity, a gravity-feeding percentage, is lower than 20, the pressure-filling operation starts too early. When this percentage exceeds 70, the gravity-feeding operation is carried out excessively. Therefore, in either of these cases, the gravity-feeding operation cannot be shifted to the pressure-filling operation immediately and smoothly, so that gas mix the melt 15 and cold shut occurs.
- this casting apparatus is designed so that, a pressure-filling operation is not conducted during a gravity-feeding operation only, i.e. the melt 15 flows into the cavities 3 by only the force of gravity, a percentage of melt 15 to be placed in the cavities 3 by the force of gravity is set to at least 30 and then pressure filling is conducted supplementarily.
- a percentage of melt 15 to be placed in the cavities 3 by the force of gravity is set in this manner, gas can be prevented from entering the melt 15.
- the casting conditions can be set or determined easily, and the time and cost for conducting experiments and modifying the metal molds can be reduced to a remarkable extent.
- the gates 4 are formed in such a manner that a ratio of volume (cm 3 ) of products to a cross-sectional area of the gates (cm 2 ) is 20-40, gas does not mix in the melt 15, and no cold shut occurs. Therefore, faultless products can be obtained.
- the speed at which the plunger tip 9 is moved down until the counter-tip 7 is displaced to open the gates 4 is set to an optimum level which makes the plungertip 9 to reach the upper surface of the melt 15 in the sleeve 5 between the time the melt 15 starts flowing into the cavities 3 by the force of gravity, and the time, at which the gravity-feeding of the melt 15 is finished. Accordingly, a very high percentage of satisfactory products can be obtained.
- the speed of the melt 15 through the gates 4 during the pressure-filling operation is set to 0.4-0.8 m/sec, gas does not enter the cavities 3, and the melt 15 can be put into the cavities 3 in a desired manner as mentioned above.
