Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a quoyde molding of thin and large parts in aluminum alloys.
  • French patent 1,178,083 teaches: "the use of a mold constituted by a sintered and porous material placed in an enclosure in which a relative vacuum is created or includes suction channels so that the liquid metal being introduced into the mold by simple gravity, atmospheric pressure allows the metal to perfectly match the internal profile of the mold through the pores from which the air which previously filled said mold is released. possible to easily produce parts perfectly reproducing the profile of the imprint of the mold ".
  • this material is a sintered metal
  • machining does not completely solve this problem of precision because, more often than not, these sintered metals tend to deform when hot.
  • the plug does not occupy the entire thickness of the mold, it is connected to the enclosure by the hole in which it is fitted or by a hole drilled behind the porous plug and which communicates with the enclosure under vacuum , so that this depression can also be transmitted.
  • This latter arrangement makes it possible to reduce the quantity of porous material.
  • These plugs preferably have a diameter of less than 20 mm and therefore have a very reduced contact surface with the cast metal so that the machining problems posed by the fully porous molds are nonexistent here.
  • holes are preferably placed at the locations of the mold furthest from the place of supply because it is there in general that the evacuation of the air takes place in the worst conditions.
  • the quantity of holes necessary to obtain the best results it obviously depends on the dimensions of the mold. However, it has been found that a hole area at most equal to 50% of the surface of the molded part is perfectly suitable.
  • the vacuum it is a function of the dimensions of the mold, the shape of the part, the number and the arrangement of the plugs. The range of values used is therefore very wide and between 1.10 5 Pa and 1.10 3 Pa.
  • the enclosure can completely surround the mold or on the contrary form two separate parts each in relation with one of the half-shells of the mold so that one can then, at will, create depression on one or the other or on both sides of the molded part.
  • the vacuum is generally made when the mold is supplied with metal but, it can be offset from this moment and preferably it will be done soon after this moment.
  • the vacuum circuit of such a device can be slaved to the supply of the mold by means of control and regulation devices known elsewhere.
  • a mold (1) comprising a conventional lower half-shell (2) and an upper half-shell (3) which according to the invention has porous channels (4) passing through, in the present case, the entire thickness of the mold.
  • These half-shells are partially separated from each other by a gap (5) or imprint of shape corresponding to that of the part to be molded.
  • This imprint is related to a liquid metal supply system composed of a pouring basin (6) pierced at its bottom with an orifice which can optionally be closed by a stopper (7) and which is extended by piping.
  • (8) passing through the upper half-shell up to the level of the cavity and equipped with a metal passage detection probe (9).
  • the vacuum circuit comprising from upstream to downstream a vacuum pump (10), a balloon (11) of large dimensions equipped with a pressure gauge (12), a manual valve (13) , a solenoid valve (14), an adjustable timer (15) connected to the probe (9), a pipe (16) in connection with the enclosure (17) which in this case covers only the top of the upper half-shell .
  • the enclosure (17) is connected to the vacuum circuit in which the valve (13) is open and the solenoid valve (14) closed .
  • the desired vacuum value is displayed on the regulator pressure gauge (12) and the pump (10) is started.
  • the metal is then poured into the basin (6) and the stopper (7) raised; the arrival of the metal in the channel (8) is detected by the probe (9) and the signal transmitted to the timer (15).
  • the air contained in the enclosure (17), the channels (9) and the imprint (5) then escapes through the piping (16) and the metal then gradually fills the imprint down to its smallest recesses.
  • the timer (15) may possibly include a second index which will control the closing of the solenoid valve (14) after a desired time of application of the vacuum.
  • the mold is opened, the part is extracted and the installation ready for a new casting.
  • This device is applicable to a piece molded horizontally but it is obvious that it can be transposed to a piece cast vertically.
