Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for casting Components, made of metal alloys according to the tilting principle according to the respective Generic term of independent claims 1, 3 and 15.
  • the liquid material state is a variety of different processes and devices known that more or less resemble a high quality Workpiece requirements with regard to freedom of design, Surface quality and in particular optimal material properties to reach.
  • the main difficulties initially lie in the mold filling process, the initially compact melt volume divided and a large one Surface is exposed to the attack of the air atmosphere, which by appropriate Reactions lead to an impairment of the material quality.
  • Molten metal alloys, their Alloy components have a high reactivity with the oxygen, Have nitrogen and water vapor in the air. It became like this early on sensitive alloys, for example the Durville tipping process applied.
  • DE-PS 377 683 proposes a method in which an elongated Casting vessel numerous castings are made in succession.
  • the melt container is erected, which limits one higher metallostatic pressure can be achieved.
  • the Atmosphere free access to the melt, so that especially as it progresses easily drain oxide from the bath surface into the mold cavity can reach.
  • a direct remains during the solidification of the casting
  • DE-PS 505 224 describes a method in which on a similar one Swing arranged casting container two molds are mounted, which alternate be filled with melt. Here, too, the air has free access to the melt pool with a large surface, so that the impurities present here can easily get into the mold.
  • DE-PS 21 64 755 describes a high-performance casting process for large series, in which the disadvantages of the aforementioned proposals largely could be eliminated.
  • the solidification process in the casting mold usually occurs through volume contraction and gas excretion cavities and pores in the component structure must be combated with considerable effort.
  • the shrinking processes also locally lead to the formation of gaps between the cast wall and mold wall surfaces, which significantly affects the heat transfer, what also has negative repercussions on the structure quality and also Sink marks on the casting surface that make the component unusable do.
  • GB 2 080 714 A describes a method and an apparatus of the type described in the introduction.
  • the device comprises a Pouring canister, which during the implementation of the process of a mold cavity through a channel with an elongated constriction is separated, with at least the after tilting in oxide skin located in a feeder head is washed into the casting will be.
  • the mold filling controlled in the sense of throttling, whereby a layered mold filling is not possible.
  • the flow paths of the melt from the gate the channel with the constriction and the feeder head are in relation to the casting size very long and affect the Melt quality considerably due to reactions and temperature losses, which greatly reduces the mold filling and fluidity becomes.
  • the object of the present invention is, using novel methods and a new type of pouring device for high-quality component production to create necessary favorable conditions, both when filling the mold as well as during the solidification of the castings, at the same time a special one to enable rational manufacturing and thereby the disadvantages of the above Avoid procedures and devices. Turbulence and Distribution of the melt during mold filling can be avoided. After a Further tasks are the reactions of the alloy melt with the Gases of the atmosphere and the mold cavity are prevented. After a Another advanced task is preferably a sharp-contoured filling achieved and an optimally fine-grained and dense component structure during the Solidification process can be ensured.
  • the gate creates the direct connection between the casting container and the mold cavity and should be such that a throttling or Swirling of the melt when overflowing can be avoided. Its big Cross section based on the cross section of the cut mold cavity or the adjacent mold wall parts of the component can after a first Approach over 40%, especially over 50% of the latter cross-sectional areas be.
  • the large cross section related to the cross section of the cut mold cavity or the cross section of the adjacent mold wall parts extends according to the invention over essentially the entire length of the latter areas.
  • the gate communicates here each 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 on which the relative dimensioning of the gate.
  • the process is peculiar to that for a casting process one corresponding to the gross volume of the melt quantity for a casting Quantity is poured into the casting tank during the casting process completely solidified, with only a small volume fraction of the melt, the the feeder volume forms, in the gate itself or, if necessary, in small quantities remains in the casting tank.
  • a quantity corresponding to the melting quantity becomes fixed metal volume introduced into the casting tank, first then the sealing connection between the casting container and the casting mold and the interior was purged with protective gas, whereupon the melt quantum is melted for a cast in the casting container. Otherwise runs the procedure unchanged. Here, too, the oxidation processes liquid phase effectively avoided.
  • an increase in pressure of the protective gas is carried out during made of the solidification process, whereby the feed volume and thus the Use of metal can be reduced because of the overpressure on the melt level the otherwise usual metallostatic pressure of high-reaching feeders replaced.
  • the risk of contamination and the inclusions in the casting excluded in that Comparison to the adjacent component surface or the cut part of the mold cavity, a large gate cross section is provided, or that a compared to the size of the casting or the mold cavity in the direction of Long gating axis of rotation is provided. This results in a calm overflow, preferably completely under the bath level from the casting container into the casting mold, so that a faultless casting is created.
  • the gate with a large cross-section is with the pouring channel or barrel identical and at the same time represents the volume of feeder. It forms the immediate one Connection between the interior of the casting container and the mold cavity.
  • 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 the cores lie towards the casting container are arranged. As a result, the cut mold wall parts themselves reduced to end wall parts of the component to improve the quality.
  • the solidification should be carried out in a known manner, if necessary by heating and / or Cooling can be controlled so that it is the most distant from the casting tank Position of the component progresses towards the gate.
  • a further overflow channel becomes parallel intended for gate, so that initially a gas or air volume compensation can take place to avoid foaming.
  • an increased, in particular variable, protective gas pressure during the solidification very special advantages.
  • a strong increase in gas pressure mainly due to the melt level at the end of the mold filling acts below which the feed volume of the casting is, can Appropriate increase of the feed pressure is achieved and thus a substantial Sealing feed of the cast structure can be forced.
  • a vigorously pressing the cast part surfaces against the mold walls and through Prevention of the harmful gap formation an increased heat transfer causes.
  • Improvements can also be made in the use of inert gas.
  • the application A protective gas pump not only allows the application of several bar pressure, it also allows for a subsequent pressure reduction Recovery of the protective gas. This way the losses stay up unavoidable leakage is limited.
  • the proposed methods offer ideal conditions for use in a casting cell sealed off from the outside world reliable prevention of foundry emissions.
