Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lost foam and pressure molding process for aluminum and aluminum alloy parts according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This request teaches that after filling the mold with the molten metal, that is to say when the model has been completely destroyed by the metal, that the vapors emitted by the foam have been evacuated, and preferably before as the solidification of the metal does not begin, an isostatic gas pressure is exerted on the whole of the mold and of the metal. This pressure is applied according to increasing values over time in order to avoid the phenomenon of watering and so that the maximum value is reached in less than 15 seconds.
  • the molded parts obtained have an increased compactness which results in an improvement in the mechanical characteristics, in particular in terms of resistance.
  • the document FR-A-2254387 describes a process for molding metals in which pressures between 2 and 25 MPa are applied, but this process applies to metals having a melting temperature above 1000 ° C. and n is not part of the lost foam molding.
  • the present invention which consists of a lost foam and pressure molding process for aluminum parts and its alloys, in which an organic foam model of the part to be molded is immersed in a mold whose walls are delimited. by a dry sand bath containing no bonding agent, the mold is filled with the metal in the liquid state which replaces the foam and gradually solidifies and an increasing isostatic gas pressure is applied simultaneously to the mold and the metal at the earliest at the end of filling, characterized in that, in order to increase the fatigue life of said parts, the pressure exerted rises to a value between 1.5 and 10 MPa, a value which is reached before the amount of solidified metal exceeds 90% by weight.
  • the invention consists in using pressures between 1.5 and 10 MPa and preferably between 5 and 10 MPa.
  • the pressurization can be carried out using a sealed box in which the mold is placed, said box being equipped with one or more pipes distributed suitably on its wall and connected to a source of pressurized gas.
  • the pressure is mainly used to accelerate the flow of liquid metal between the dendrites of the metal being solidified and the effect stops when the solid network has reached a certain development .
  • these low pressures allow the counterweight to act effectively to avoid the phenomenon of shrinkage due to the contraction of the metal during solidification.
  • Figure 1 attached is a micrograph of an alloy A-S7G03 molded according to the invention under a pressure of 7 MPa, then heat treated. This micrograph reveals the plastic deformation imposed on the dendritic network and which has the effect of filling the porosities, and illustrates well the forging effect to which the metal is subjected in this process.
  • This new pressure range is preferably applied before the quantity of solidified metal reaches 40% by weight so as to be able to act on the liquid flow.
  • the application of the pressure be made by progressive increase in particular at the start of solidification in order to avoid watering ", phenomenon which results from a transient imbalance between pressure exerted directly on the metal and the pressure exerted on the metal by means of the sand bath.
  • the bath causes a relatively large pressure drop in the transmission of pressure and this results, at the level of the metal in contact with the sand, a tendency of this pressure to drive the metal through the grains of sand and to cause a deformation of the molded part.
  • the invention can be illustrated using the following example of application: Cylindrical bodies with an outside diameter of 45mm, a wall thickness of 4mm, having adjacent ribs and bosses of 20x20x80mm were molded according to the prior process and that of the invention, that is to say applied inside the enclosure containing the mold and just before solidification begins, an isostatic gas pressure corresponding respectively to atmospheric pressure, 1 MPa, 5 MPa and 10 MPa.
  • the fatigue life F in MPA was measured from tests in rotary bending on a test piece machined at 107 cycles according to the staircase method. F is valid for both thick and thin areas, since it does not depend on the speed of solidification but on the porosity and therefore on the pressure applied.
