Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for casting components, wherein liquid material is introduced into a mold cavity of a casting mold and solidified there.
- a large number of different methods and devices are known which more or less meet the requirements for a high-quality workpiece with regard to freedom of design, surface quality and in particular optimal material properties.
- the main difficulties initially lie with the filling process, with the initially compact melt volume being divided and a large surface being exposed to the attack of the air atmosphere, which leads to a deterioration in the quality of the material due to corresponding reactions.
- Molten metal alloys whose alloy components have a high reactivity with the oxygen, nitrogen and water vapor in the air, are particularly affected. For example, the tilt casting process according to Durville was used early on for such sensitive alloys.
- DE-PS 377 683 proposes a method in which numerous castings are produced in succession from an elongate casting vessel.
- the melt container is erected, whereby a higher metallostatic pressure can be achieved.
- the atmosphere has free access to the melt, so that oxide can easily get into the mold cavity from the bath surface, particularly as the emptying progresses.
- a direct connection to the large melt supply in the casting container remains, so that the solidification process is slowed down.
- DE-PS 505224 describes a method in which two casting molds are mounted on a casting container arranged like a swing, which are alternately filled with melt.
- the air has free access to the melt bath with a large surface area, so that the impurities present here can get into the casting mold particularly easily.
- DE-PS 21 64 755 describes a high-performance casting process for large series, in which the disadvantages of the aforementioned proposals have been largely eliminated. On the other hand, however, a high level of technical effort is required, which affects all others, particularly in the event of faults in a single casting mold.
- the object of the present invention is to use novel methods and a novel casting device to create the favorable conditions required for high-quality component production, both when filling the mold and during the solidification of the castings, and at the same time to enable particularly efficient production and at the same time the disadvantages of the above ⁇ to avoid procedures and devices. Turbulence and division of the melt during mold filling should be avoided. After a further task, the reactions of the alloy melt with the gases of the atmosphere and the mold cavity are to be prevented. According to another further task, a contour with a sharp contour is preferably to be achieved and an optimally fine-grained and dense component structure is to be ensured during the solidification process. To achieve this object, methods and a suitable device with the features of the independent claims are proposed, a closable container for the melt being connected over a large gate cross-section to the cavity of a casting mold initially lying above the container.
- the gate represents the direct connection between the casting container and the mold cavity and should be such that throttling or swirling of the melt is avoided when overflowing.
- Its large cross-section, based on the cross-section of the cut mold cavity or the adjacent mold wall parts of the component, can be over 40%, in particular over 50%, of the latter cross-sectional areas after a first approach.
- the large cross-section, based on the cross-section of the cut mold cavity or the cross-section of the adjacent mold wall parts can extend over more than 50%, in particular more than 70%, preferably over essentially the entire length of the latter surfaces, according to a further approach .
- the gate communicates with the deepest parts of the mold cavity or the mold wall part before turning. Only their cross-sectional areas parallel to the gate cross-section are referred to as cut surfaces, to which reference is made in the relative dimensioning of the gate.
- the protective gas pressure is increased during the mold filling process and / or the solidification process. It is advantageous here if the protective gas is recovered during the subsequent expansion.
- the process according to the invention has in common that for each casting operation one of the gross volumes of the melt quantity for a casting is speaking amount is introduced into the casting container, which solidifies completely during the casting process, only a small volume portion of the melt, which forms the feeder volume, remains in the gate itself in the gate or, if appropriate, in a small amount.
- the casting container is already filled with liquid melt under protective gas, the protective gas being maintained during the rotation of the casting container with the casting mold.
- a solid metal volume corresponding to the melt quantity is introduced into the casting container, only then is the sealing connection between the casting container and casting mold established and the interior purged with protective gas, whereupon the melt quantity is melted for casting in the casting container becomes. Otherwise the procedure is unchanged. Here, too, oxidation processes of the liquid phase are effectively avoided.
- the protective gas is increased in pressure during the solidification process, as a result of which the feeder volume and thus the use of metal can be reduced, since the excess pressure on the melt level in the casting container replaces the otherwise usual metallostatic pressure of high-reaching feeders.
- the use of protective gas is dispensed with in the case of alloys which are less prone to oxidation or at risk of oxidation, but the procedure described last is carried out with an increase in the pressure in the interior of the casting container during the mold filling process and / or during the solidification process in order to bring about the same effects of a reduced use of material and an improved structure and surface quality of the casting.
- the method is carried out without building up excess pressure, but in the gate and preferably in a part of the casting container Melt remains to the extent necessary after turning to create a metallostatic pressure.
- the risk of contamination and inclusions in the casting is excluded in particular by the fact that a large gate cross section is provided in comparison to the adjacent component surface or the cut part of the mold cavity, or that a compared to the cast part size or Mold cavity is provided in the direction of the axis of rotation long gate. This results in a calm overflow, which is preferably completely under the bath level. the casting container into the casting mold, so that a faultless casting is formed.
- the gate with a large cross section is identical to the pouring channel or barrel and at the same time represents the feed volume. It forms the direct connection between the interior of the casting container and the mold cavity.
- Oxidation of the melt is effectively prevented when a metered quantity of melt is transferred from a metering furnace into the casting container of the device under a protective gas atmosphere. This is all the more important since during this process the pouring jet reaches the pouring container in free fall, whereas here, as in the conventional working method, a particularly intensive formation of oxide skin with constant tearing off, washing in and swirling does not occur takes place in the melt.
- the mold filling which then sets in due to the rotary movement of the device can, due to the predetermined large gate cross-sections, run particularly smoothly and with a low flow rate of the melt, increasing according to the principle of communicating tubes, which in connection with a protective gas atmosphere also present in the mold cavity increases the risk of foam formation known to lead to inclusions in the cast structure, effectively eliminated.
- the melt front also remains closed, ie there is no formation of leading metal tongues or even splashes, so that the cold run feared during casting as a frequent cause of rejects is avoided.
- the mold cavity for an elongated component is aligned in the direction of the axis of rotation. This enables a wide melt front to be represented.
- Another design is that cores are arranged lying to the casting container. As a result, the cut mold wall parts themselves are reduced to end wall parts of the component in order to improve the quality.
- the surfaces with high quality requirements should each be arranged on a mold wall opposite the gate.
- the solidification is to be controlled in a known manner, if necessary by heating and / or cooling, in such a way that it proceeds from the point of the component which is furthest away from the casting container in the direction of the gate.
- a further overflow channel is provided parallel to the gate, so that initially gas or air volume compensation can take place to avoid foam formation.
- an increased, in particular variable, protective gas pressure during the solidification offers very special advantages.
- a strong increase in gas pressure which mainly acts on the melt level at the end of the filling, below which the feed volume of the cast part lies, can result in a corresponding increase in the feed pressure and thus force the sealing structure of the casting to a large extent.
- a strong pressing of the casting surfaces against the walls and, by preventing the harmful formation of gaps, an increased heat transfer is brought about.
- the use of a method is provided, according to which the casting mold is brought to a working temperature before filling and after the filling of the casting mold from the end zones to the feeder zones, cooling is carried out in stages until the solidification is complete. Improvements can also be made in the use of inert gas.
- the use of an inert gas pump not only allows the application of several bar pressure, it also allows the inert gas to be recovered when the pressure is subsequently reduced. In this way, the losses are limited to unavoidable leaks.
- the generally expensive protective gas can be dispensed with and instead an increase in pressure can be brought about by applying compressed air, all other advantages being retained.
- the proposed methods offer ideal conditions for use in a casting cell that is sealed off from the outside world to reliably prevent foundry emissions.
- a combined melting and dosing furnace according to DE-PS 2041588 which at the same time solves the problem of introducing charging material, is particularly advantageous.
- a gas-tight charging chamber with a charging body is arranged on a melting furnace, through which a quantified amount of melt can be conveyed into the casting or melt container.
- Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through a casting container with a casting mold along the section line A-B of Fig. 2;
- FIG. 2 shows a vertical section through a casting container with a casting mold according to FIG. 1 perpendicular to the axis of rotation; 3 shows a casting cell with system parts suitable for carrying out methods according to the invention in a systematic representation;
- Fig. 4 shows a vertical section through a casting container with a casting mold through the axis of rotation in a second embodiment.

- a casting container 30 with a housing 6 and a refractory lining 7, which contains a quantity of melt 8 dosed for a casting.
- the melt quantum 8 is filled in with a dosing furnace, not shown, through the filler opening 9 with the closure 10 open, in particular under protective gas; then the closure 10 is closed.
- a protective gas connection 11 is shown on the closure 10.
- the horizontal axis of rotation 12 of the casting device which extends in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the casting mold 31 and the casting container 30, is shown.

- the housing 6, the refractory lining 7 and the quantity of melt 8 contained therein for a cast can be seen.
- the melt flows through the gate 13 with a large cross section in a calm, turbulence-free flow into the mold cavity 1 and fills it in a few seconds.
- the casting container 30 is located above the mold base plate 5. Now the internal pressure, in particular the protective gas pressure above the melt solidifying in the mold cavity 1, the total volume of which also includes the required feeder volume, is increased with the aid of the pressure connection 11 and thus improves the sealing supply of the casting. After the solidification is complete, the overpressure can be reduced to normal pressure, the mold opened and the casting which has cooled sufficiently can be removed. Then a new casting cycle begins.
- FIG. 3 shows a rotatable casting device 19 with a rotary drive 27 as well as a casting container 30 and a casting mold 31 with clamping means 32 connecting them within a casting cell 21.
- the axis of rotation 12 of the casting device is also shown.

- the metering furnace 15 is connected via a lock 22 to an area outside the casting cell 21.
- a charging device 16 for lumpy feed material or a charging device 17 for liquid feed material can be connected to the lock 22.
- the casting cell comprises a further lock 22. Above the casting mold 31, a manipulator 20 for cores can be seen.
- FIG. 4 shows a casting device consisting of a casting container 30 and a casting mold 31.
- the casting container 30 differs from that shown in FIG. 1 in that it does not include a filling opening. However, it has heating means 24 within the refractory layer 7. A solid metal quatu 25 is inserted into the casting container 30. In cross section perpendicular to the axis of rotation 12, this casting device corresponds to that shown in FIG.
- the casting mold 31 essentially corresponds to that shown in FIG. 1. It comprises a mold cover plate 2, mold side parts 3 and one Mold base plate 5. However, means 29 for cooling are shown in the side parts. Cores 4 are used in the mold. The axis of rotation of the device is designated by 12.
