Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for centrifugally casting copper, copper alloys or other oxygen-sensitive alloys, in particular bronze, at least one additive being introduced into the casting mold in order to reduce or avoid the oxide layer forming on the inner surface of the casting.
- the invention further relates to a device for centrifugally casting copper, copper alloys or other oxygen-sensitive alloys, in particular bronze, for carrying out the method, with a rotatable mold and a pouring tube.
- an oxidation layer is formed on the inner surface of the castings by oxidation, which layer must be removed.
- the thickness of this oxidation layer depends in particular on the wall thickness of the casting and on the oxygen absorbed during the casting process and during cooling. Even with relatively small wall thicknesses of approximately 15 to 20 mm, a disruptive oxidation layer of considerable thickness is formed, which further increases proportionally with the wall thickness. In the case of thick castings, the thickness of this layer to be turned out can be up to 15?
- the thickness of this oxide layer is influenced in particular by the cooling rate of the melt and the period of time during which the melt remains at a higher temperature on the inner surface of the casting, since the atmospheric oxygen has an unfavorable effect and influences the thickness of the oxide layer which forms on the inner surface.
- a method for improving the surface of centrifugal casting pieces is known, for example, from DE-OS 2 422 339.
- a method of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that, immediately after the pouring process, solid, preferably powdery, borax, optionally together with finely divided mixtures of oxygen-affine metals, for example Mg, Li, cerium, and / or as additive onto the still liquid inner surface Graphite and / or chamotte and / or charcoal powder, with a layer thickness of 0.5 to 4 mm, preferably 1 to 3 mm, is applied.
- the additives should be added simultaneously with the melt.
- the proposed additives and the joint introduction of melt and additives into the mold is detrimental to a uniform overall casting structure, especially in the case of bulk metals; moreover, with the addition of borax in particular, if necessary with the further additives added according to the invention, improved protection against oxidation and a far better surface structure can be achieved than in the procedure known from this DE-OS.
- the addition of borax according to the invention to the just-formed, still liquid metal surface in the specified layer thickness enables the formation of a void-free and flaw-free surface which can be dimensionally turned without intermediate processing.
- Borax has the advantage that it shows a very good tendency to remain distributed on the melt surface. It is advantageous if: Immediately after pouring the melt onto the inner surface of the casting, the layer of borax is formed with the specified thickness.
- the abandoned borax melts the prevailing temperatures and a layer with this thickness is sufficient to bind the oxygen absorbed by the alloy during the casting process and to prevent the formation of an oxide layer. At the same time there is sufficient protection against air-oxygen. There is no negative influence on the structure of the object.
- borax in powder form optionally together with the batches, so that they can be distributed evenly over the inner surface of the casting in the course of the further rotation of the mold with the casting. If borax and batches with low thermal conductivity are used, the surface quality of the inner surface is further improved, since it is still possible for the metal, which is still flowable, to flow further during solidification on the inner surface.
- the amount or the layer thickness in which borax and possibly the mixture are introduced is determined in particular by the thickness of the workpiece and the diameter of the bore or the hollow volume of the workpiece.
- a device for centrifugal casting of copper or its alloys, in particular bronze is characterized according to the invention in that, in addition to the pouring tube, a dispensing device which leads into the mold, in particular into the interior of the casting, or can be inserted therein, e.g. a pipe, a chute or the like is provided, with which solid, preferably powdered, borax, optionally together with finely divided mixtures of oxygen-affine metals, e.g. Mg, Li, cerium, and / or graphite, and / or chamotte and / or charcoal powder with a layer thickness of 0.5 to 4 mm, preferably 1 to 3 mm, can be applied to the inner surface of the casting.
- a dispensing device which leads into the mold, in particular into the interior of the casting, or can be inserted therein, e.g. a pipe, a chute or the like is provided, with which solid, preferably powdered, borax, optionally together with finely divided mixtures of oxygen-affin
- Such a dispensing device can be of relatively simple construction and has the purpose of being able to introduce the additives to be introduced into the mold without any effort. In principle, it is also possible to do it manually, e.g. with a shovel to pour in the borax or the batch, however the dosing with dispensing devices is more precise and the arrangement of such dispensing devices is advantageous, particularly in an automated casting operation.
- the dispensing device is a channel which can be tilted or pivoted about its longitudinal extension, in particular longitudinal edge, preferably against the action of a spring, and which is mounted in a preferably movable relative to the mold in the dispensing position
- Carrier housing is rotatably mounted or pivotally mounted on the pouring tube and can be moved into and out of the mold with it.
- the invention also relates to the use of preferably powdery.
- Borax for application to the (inner) surface of workpieces produced by centrifugal casting immediately following the casting of the melt from copper, copper alloys, in particular bronze. This purpose of Borax is new and brings the effects indicated above.
- FIG. 1 shows in a schematic section and FIG. 1 in a side view a first embodiment of the invention and FIGS. 2 and 2a show in schematic sections and FIG. 2 b in a side view a second embodiment of the invention.
- a discharge opening 4 of a melt container or casting funnel 1 provided with fireclay clothing 3 is connected by means of a sleeve 5 to a pouring tube 6, which is open at the front and top or to the side for the exit of the melt and into a mold 2 accordingly Arrow 16 is insertable.
- the gutter can be loaded manually or from an indicated storage container 8 when entering or leaving borax and possibly fine-particle mixtures of acidic, off-affinity metals and / or graphite and / or chamotte and / or charcoal powder
- Driving in or the feeding of borax or the batch onto the casting 9 is started immediately after the introduction of the melt or after the pouring tube 6 has ended.
- the casting 9 After the casting 9 has cooled down to such an extent that further oxidation or Formation of an oxide layer on the inner surface can no longer occur, the casting 9 is e ⁇ tformt and finished by turning.
- Fig.l shows a side view of the device according to the invention.
- a handle 11 with which the channel 7 against the action of a spring 12 in the direction of arrow 13 can be pivoted.
- the end region 15 of the channel 7 is rotatably supported in a housing 14, which also receives the spring 12.
- the channel 7 protrudes at least to the middle of the casting 9, preferably up to close to the opposite edge of the casting 9.
- the arrangement described in FIGS. 1 and 1 a can be used in particular when the inside diameter of the casting is relatively small and the pouring tube 6 and Channel 7 cannot find a single place.
- the gutter 7 is e.g. by means of bearings and journals, mounted on the pouring tube 6 so as to be pivotable about their longitudinal extent or longitudinal edge relative to the pouring tube 6; via e.g. Shaft 17 mounted on the melting hopper 1 is connected to the handle 11, which is adjustable against the action of the spring 12, which spring 12 the groove 7 in the closed position, i.e. presses against the pouring tube 6, as shown in Fig. a.
- the channel 7 is filled in the extended state.
- This device has the advantage that the borax or the batch can be added immediately after the introduction of the melt has ended.
- mechanical handling devices can also be provided.
- the cross-sectional shape of the channel can be any.
- a blank made of gunmetal in accordance with DIN 1705, melt composition Gz-Rg 7, 172 mm in outside diameter and 134 mm in inside diameter and 460 mm in length was to be produced by centrifugal casting, which is suitable for the manufacturer ⁇ position of a plain bearing was determined.
- the horizontally mounted steel The mold was preheated to approximately 150 ° C. After the mold was closed, a pouring device was attached centrally, the outflow opening of the pouring funnel being matched to the casting compound and having a diameter of 28 mm.
- a pouring trough was connected to the pouring funnel, which extends over two thirds of the length of the mold and extends almost horizontally into it.
- the weighed and heated to 1150 ° C. melt was poured in while increasing the peripheral speed of the mold inner wall to 7 m / s in such a way that the pouring funnel remains filled with melt with a bath level height of approximately 200 mm, whereby a constant flow and a uniform distribution of the melt is ensured by means of the sprue in the mold.
- the casting time is about 4 seconds.
- the pouring device was then removed and the mold was cooled with water, after which the solid had been removed from the mold after it had solidified.
- borax was added by hand to the mold in an amount such that a layer of molten borax, which had a thickness of approximately 1 mm, formed on the inner surface of the blank. An appreciable oxide layer on the inner surface was prevented; the normal unevenness of the cast wall could be removed in the course of the main turning, so that the expected turning of the oxide layer could be omitted.
- the dimensions of the castings that can be produced in the method according to the invention are irrelevant; they are short rings from e.g. 50 mm length and pipes of e.g. 2000 mm length can be produced in the same way.
