Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a zinc-base alloy for use in the production of molds, a zinc-base alloy block for use in the production of molds and methods for preparing the same and more specifically to a zinc-base alloy for use in the production of molds, which has reasonable strength, is excellent in machinability, yield good workpiece quality and is suitable for use in the production of a mold for small-scale production and, in particular, for use in the production of a mold for injection-molding plastics, as well as a block made of the zinc-base alloy and a method for preparing the alloy or the block.
- In the field of plastic-injection molding, there has conventionally been used a mold produced by machining a steel block as a mold for large-scale production capable of withstanding over several hundreds of thousands of shots, while there has been used, as a mold for small-scale production for the trial manufacture before the mass production, one produced by casting, in a sand mold, a zinc-base alloy (such as a zinc alloy known under the trade name of ZAS, which comprises 4.1% by weight of aluminum, 3.0% by weight of copper and 0.05% by weight of magnesium) at a temperature ranging from 410 to 450°C.
- On the other hand, there has been desired for the development of a mold having a lifetime corresponding to several tens of thousands of shots, in the recent current of small-scale production of multiple plastic items.
- However, the production of steel molds requires a long period of time for machining or electric discharge machining (it takes a long time period to produce such a mold). In addition, steel materials have a low heat conductivity and therefore, the steel mold never provides any desired molded article if no complicated pipe line for cooling is disposed in the mold or no mold is manufactured with preliminarily allowing for any deformation of the article. Therefore, one cannot take any measures to cope with the requirement for a timely model change and cannot deal with the foregoing requirement.
- Moreover, the mold of a zinc-base alloy produced by the sand mold-casting cannot accomplish the dimensional precision required for plastic molded articles and it only has a lifetime corresponding to several thousands of shots. Thus, the sand mold-casted mold cannot deal with the foregoing requirement.
- Alternatively, there has been proposed a mold which is produced by machining an aluminum alloy block, but such a mold suffers from a problem in that cavities are liable to form within an ingot as a raw aluminum alloy block and there has been tried to roll the block to thus eliminate such cavities formed therein. However, the rolling method is limited in the dimension of the block. Moreover, the method further suffers from other problems in that it is difficult to subject a mold to welding for repair which is required in accordance with an error in machining or to any change of design, that cavities may still remain at the central portion in the thickness of the block even after the rolling treatment and that it is difficult to mirror-finish the mold.
- Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a zinc-base alloy for use in the production of molds, which is free from the foregoing drawbacks and permits the production of a mold having a lifetime corresponding to several tens of thousands of shots, as well as a zinc-base alloy block for use in the production of molds and a method for preparing the alloy or the block and more specifically to a zinc-base alloy for use in the production of molds, which is excellent in machinability, yield good workpiece quality such as dimensional precision, has reasonable strength which allows the mold to withstand over several tens of thousands of shots and is suitable for use in the production of a mold for small-scale production and, in particular, for use in the production of a mold for injection-molding plastics, and which permits the production of a mold free of any pinhole and capable of being easily repaired by, for instance, welding as well as a block made of the zinc-base alloy and a method for preparing the alloy or the block.
- The inventors of this invention have conducted various investigations to achieve the foregoing objects, have found that an ε -phase consisting of a Zn-Cu solid solution (in the conventional techniques, this phase exists along the grain boundary) exists in a particulate state, if unidirectionally solidifying a molten zinc-base alloy having a specific composition and including Zn, Al, Cu and Mg, for instance, casting the molten alloy in an ingot case while forcing the bottom of the case to cool and thermally isolating or heating the top of the case, this makes the alloy texture dense to thus give a zinc-base alloy which is excellent in machinability, yield good workpiece quality such as dimensional precision, has reasonable strength which allows the mold to withstand over several tens of thousands of shots and which permits the production of a mold free of any pinhole and capable of easily repairing by, for instance, welding, and thus have completed the present invention.
- Thus, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a zinc-base alloy for use in the production of molds which comprises 5 to 15% by weight of Al, 3 to 6% by weight of Cu and 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of Mg and the balance of Zn except for inevitable contaminants, in which an ε -phase consisting of a Zn-Cu solid solution exists in a particulate state.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a zinc-base alloy block for use in the production of molds which comprises 5 to 15% by weight of Al, 3 to 6% by weight of Cu and 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of Mg and the balance of Zn except for inevitable contaminants, in which an ε -phase consisting of a Zn-Cu solid solution exists in a particulate state and which has a tensile strength as determined at 25°C of not less than 25 kgf/mm2 and a surface hardness of not less than 100 HB (Brinell hardness).
- According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a zinc-base alloy block for use in the production of mold s which comprises 5 to 15% by weight of Al, 3 to 6% by weight of Cu and 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of Mg and the balance of Zn except for inevitable contaminants, in which an ε -phase consisting of a Zn-Cu solid solution exists in a particulate state and no pinhole exists in the alloy.
- According to a still further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing the zinc-base alloy for use in the production of molds or a method for producing the zinc-base alloy block for use in the production of molds, which comprises the step of unidirectionally solidifying a molten zinc-base alloy comprising 5 to 15% by weight of Al, 3 to 6% by weight of Cu and 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of Mg and the balance of Zn except for inevitable contaminants.
