Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lost foam and pressure molding process for metal parts, in particular aluminum and its alloys.
- the Applicant had improved it in the sense that when the mold had been completely filled, that is to say when the metal had entirely replaced the model and the major part of the vapors had been evacuated, it applied a gas pressure on the mold; this operation can be carried out by placing the mold in an enclosure capable of withstanding the pressure and connected to a source of pressurized gas. This operation could be done immediately after filling while the metal was still completely liquid, but it could still take place later as long as the solidified fraction of metal in the mold did not exceed 40%, value beyond which the pressure would have had a negligible effect.
- the value of the pressure applied was at most between 0.5 and 1.5 MPa: a value less than 0.5 MPa being of insufficient effect and a value greater than 1.5 MPa resulting high operating costs. It was then observed that the compactness of the parts was considerably increased by eliminating or at least reducing gassing pits and micro-shrinkage and thus improving their mechanical characteristics. However, this caused the appearance of a new drawback called "watering".
- the value of this speed is between 0.003 and 0.3 MPa per second and the smaller the thickness of the part, the greater the speed values outside this range, making one or more the other of the two drawbacks.
- This speed must obviously take into account the pressure drop across the mold, that is to say the grain size of the sand and also the depth of immersion of the model in the sand. This is why it is chosen as a function of these parameters and so as to obtain overpressure values of between 0.001 and 0.030 MPa and preferably between 0.002 and 0.010 MPa.
- This overpressure is necessary only during a critical period immediately following the filling of the room and when the film is still saturated with products which are not completely vaporized. Preferably, this overpressure is reached in less than 2 seconds after application of the pressure, when the watering phenomenon is most significant.
- the parts thus molded had very little blowing and no carbon encrustation, which shows the effectiveness of the improvement according to the invention.
