Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for casting molten metal, comprising a pouring funnel for molten metal and transfer devices connected to this pouring funnel in order to bring the molten metal from this pouring funnel to a casting station.
- the device comprises a pouring funnel for molten metal, transfer devices connected to the pouring funnel in order to bring the molten metal from the pouring funnel to the casting station and is characterized in that the pouring funnel has ventilation devices on the connecting parts between the pouring funnel and the transfer device. in order to allow the gas trapped in the system below the pouring funnel to escape.
- the pouring funnel has a top part open to fill the molten metal and a bottom part open to the transfer device, the bottom part having a smaller cross section than the top part, and the cross section from the top part to the bottom part narrowed.
- a filter insert for molten metal preferably a ceramic foam filter, as described above, can be arranged in the pouring funnel.
- the filter insert is preferably used in the region of the base part in such a way that the entire stream of molten metal has to pass the filter and this results in a substantial removal of the solids.
- a reshaping peripheral seal surrounding the filter can be provided. The filter insert is thus fitted into the pouring funnel in a sealing manner in order to prevent the molten metal from passing through the filter.
- a plurality of ventilation devices can of course be provided which improve the escape of trapped air.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic side view of a typical metal casting process.
- Figure 2 is a graphical representation of the mold fill rate as a function of time.
- FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c are side views of pouring funnels according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 4a and 4b are side views of alternative embodiments of the pouring funnel according to the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a top view of a typical pouring funnel according to the present invention with a plurality of ventilation devices.
- a typical casting operation with molten metal is shown schematically in Figure 1.
- a supply 10 of molten metal 11 can, for example, be poured in from above, as shown.
- a floor pouring or a pouring directly from the melting furnace can also be provided.
- the pouring funnel 12 is filled from the supply 10 of molten metal and serves as a reservoir with molten metal for the transfer device 13, which in turn is connected to the pouring funnel.
- the transfer device 13 for the molten metal can consist of a sprue or channels 14, which leads to one or more channels 15 and ultimately serves the pouring opening or a plurality of pouring openings (not shown). It goes without saying that the arrangement, size and number of each of these elements will vary from casting to casting.
- the mold filling rate as a function of time is shown schematically in FIG. 2, which shows the initial time delay (A) due to the metallostatic supernatant, followed by an increase in the mold filling rate until the strong pressure increase in the mold to decrease the mold filling rate ( B) leads.
- the mold fill rate can then either level (C), continue to fall, stop completely, or increase further if the pressure can escape. As indicated above, this can happen Exacerbate problem of insufficient mold filling rate if there is a constriction in the system or a ceramic foam filter.
- FIG. 3A shows the pouring funnel 12 with an upper part 12a open at the top, which receives the molten metal and a lower open bottom part 12b with a smaller cross section than the upper part.
- the pouring funnel 12 narrows from the upper part 12a to the bottom part 12b.
- a ceramic foam filter 20 is arranged in the region of the base part 12b in the pouring funnel. The filter lies in the flow of the molten metal, so that the entire amount of the molten metal has to pass through the ceramic foam filter for particle removal.
- the type of ceramic foam filter according to FIG. 3A is described in the aforementioned US Pat. No. 3,962,081.
- the constriction which the filter embodies can also be another restriction of the melt flow, for example another filter, a sieve or a constriction in the flow cross section.
- a reshaping edge seal 21 is provided, surrounding the filter 20. The purpose of the seal is to seal the filter against the pouring funnel in order to prevent metal from passing through the outside of the filter and to ensure that all molten metal flows through the filter and to ensure a sealed filter installation to back up.
- a reshaping seal is particularly advantageous because it causes filter installation problems due to size and size changes thermal expansion between filter and funnel, which results in high mechanical stress on the filter or funnel components or both, is eliminated.
- a pure oxide fiber such as zirconium oxide or aluminum oxide fiber is best suited, while for example aluminosilicate fibers are particularly suitable for lower temperatures.
- a beveled filter in the edge area, matching the pouring funnel contour, is preferred for easy installation.
- the vent 30 according to the invention is provided on the pouring funnel 12.
- the vent is arranged in the interior of the wall of the pouring funnel and extends through the pouring funnel base 12b in order to establish the connection to the sprue.
- a vent 30 is provided in the form of one or more continuous pipe sections, attached to or integrated in the surface on the inside of the pouring funnel 12.
- 3C shows a vent 30, formed by one or more continuous pipe sections, attached to or integrated into the surface, on the outside of the pouring funnel 12, in order to be connected to the sprue.
- the embodiment according to Figure 3B uses a ceramic filter 20a made of an extruded ceramic material, while according to Figure 3C a ceramic foam filter 20 is used, as also in Figure 3A. In both cases, a sealing material 21 is applied laterally on the edge of the filter body.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B show improved pouring funnels 16, comprising an open top part 16a and an open bottom part 16b, in which the bottom part has a smaller diameter than the top part.
- the open bottom part 16b holds an inward seam 17, which is provided as a supporting or supporting surface for the filter 20a of the type made of extruded ceramic material.
- FIG. 4A comprises a pouring funnel with an essentially perpendicular bottom part 18 for the simple arrangement of an essentially rectangular filter, while FIG. 4B shows a pouring funnel with an obliquely continuous wall, as shown in FIG. 3.
- Figure 5 is a top view of a pouring funnel 12 with 4 outer notches 30 as ventilation devices.
- the exact number of venting devices will vary according to the demands on the pouring funnel.
- the notches can be filled with wax, which later melts away after the mold has been formed. Without notches, a precision casting vent can be formed by attaching wax to the funnel surface before the mold is formed. In some cases it may be desirable to control the flow in a ventilation system. In this case, a limiting opening or comparable control devices can be inserted into the system.
