Definitions
- the present invention relates to a die casting machine for producing molded parts thixotropic metal bolt, containing a casting system, which has a cylindrical Casting chamber cavity connects with a mold cavity, the pouring system being an immediate has a cylindrical casting cavity adjacent to the casting chamber cavity and contains at least one gate, and all of the gates laterally from the Guide the lateral surface of the pouring cavity away, and each pouring channel has a concentric one Center line and at its end directed against the mold cavity, an inlet opening for Introducing the thixotropic metal alloy into the mold cavity, and the connection of the pouring system with the casting chamber cavity by means of a concentric one Longitudinal axis of the cylindrical casting chamber cavity vertical through opening happens, and the inlet openings with respect to the through opening are arranged so that the surface normals of the inlet openings are not aligned with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical casting chamber cavity coincide.
- Die casting machines for the production of molded parts from thixotropic metal bolts are on known.
- Such die casting systems essentially contain a casting chamber The die casting alloy or the thixotropic metal bolt is taken up, one in the casting chamber longitudinally movable piston for pressurizing the die-casting alloy or the thixotropic metal pin on the piston opposite End of the casting chamber, a casting chamber opening and a pouring system containing at least a sprue, for directing the die casting alloy or the thixotropic alloy pulp from the casting chamber opening into the mold cavity.
- EP-A 0 718 059 describes a horizontal die casting machine for the production of Shaped parts from a thixotropic alloy slurry, the die casting machine one Has oxide scraper, which is between a semi-cylindrical, for insertion a thixotropic metal bolt suitable area of the casting chamber and the mold cavity and to avoid oxide inclusions in the alloy structure of the molded part serves.
- DE-OS 40 15 174 describes a die casting machine with a two-part shape Casting plastic or metal, with a special one between the two halves of the mold designed sprue holding device is attached which has a variable passage cross-section can assume and in its closed position limits a constriction cross section, which is smaller than the predetermined cross section of the casting chamber opening.
- thixoforms The process for the production of molded parts from thixotropic, i.e. part solid / semi-solid, Metal bolts are called thixoforms. All bolts come as metal bolts from a metal that can be converted into a thixotropic state. In particular The metal bolts can be made from aluminum, magnesium or zinc or from alloys of these Metals exist.
- the thixotropic properties become more fluid or more solid Metal alloys used.
- the thixotropic behavior of a metal alloy means that a suitably prepared metal behaves unloaded like a solid, under shear stress, however, reduces its viscosity to such an extent that it looks similar a molten metal behaves. This involves heating the alloy into the solidification interval between liquidus and solidus temperature required. The temperature is there set so that, for example, a microstructure content of 20 to 80% by weight is melted the rest remains in solid form.
- thixoforming With thixoforming, semi-solid / semi-liquid metal is produced in a modified die casting machine processed into molded parts.
- the die casting machines used for thixoforming differ from die casting machines for die casting metal melts by, for example, a longer casting chamber for receiving the thixotropic metal pin and a larger piston stroke required thereby, and for example a mechanically reinforced design of the thixotropic metal alloy leading parts of the die casting machine due to the higher pressure load on these parts during thixoforming.
- Thixoforming is done, for example, with a horizontal die casting machine. at these machines have the casting chamber that receives the thixotropic metal bolt, horizontally.
- thixoforming a thixotropic metal bolt is turned horizontally into one horizontal casting chamber of a die casting machine and by pressurization using a pouring piston at high speed and under high pressure in a conventional casting mold made of steel, in particular hot-work steel, i.e. in the mold cavity is introduced or shot in, the thixotropic metal alloy froze in this.
- the pressure applied to the thixotropic metal bolt is typically 200 to 1500 bar and in particular between 500 and 1000 bar.
- the the resulting flow rate of the thixotropic alloy pulp is, for example 0.2 to 3 m / s and in particular 0.3 to 2 m / s.
- the microstructure is characterized by the phases, such as mixed crystal and eutectic phases, the Cast grain, such as globulils and dendrites, segregations as well as structural defects, such as porosity (Gas pores, micro voids), and impurities such as oxides.
- the metal bolts used for the thixoforming of partially solid alloys have a process-related nature fine grain on the - if during the pretreatment of the thixotropic Metal bolts, i.e. during the heating of the metal bolts and their transport into the Die casting machine, no coarsening occurs - again in the alloy structure of the Find molded parts.
- a fine grain generally improves the material properties, increases the homogeneity of the alloy structure and helps to avoid structural defects in the molded part.
- the thixoforming of partially solid alloys shows in comparison to the die casting of Metal melting also has other significant advantages.
- Another advantage is also the better dimensional accuracy due to lower shrinkage and the manufacturing to consider shaped parts close to the final dimensions, which reduces the machining steps and alloy material is saved.
- the processing temperature is around 100 ° C lower the change in temperature of the individual components of the Die casting machine smaller, which increases the tool life.
- lower processing temperature for thixoforming also allows the processing of alloys with a low iron content, since no alloying the tools happen by melting.
- thixoforming allows one better mold filling with fewer air pockets.
- a metal bolt is used in a thixotropic state, usually a thixotropic aluminum bolt, into a casting chamber (or more precisely: in a casting chamber cavity located in the casting chamber) and by pressurizing a mostly cylindrical constriction on one End of the casting chamber, the so-called through opening. It will sheared thixotropic material. The sheared, thixotropic material is then, starting from a pouring cavity adjacent to the through opening, into trapezoidal pouring channels deflected and then gets into the mold cavity of a mold. Usually the sprue channels at an approximately right angle to the concentric central axis of the through opening arranged. The arrangement between the casting chamber and the mold cavity is described in the following referred to as the pouring system. The pouring system thus serves to initiate the Casting chamber located thixotropic alloy pulp in the mold cavity of the mold.
- the thixotropic alloy Due to the mechanical stress on the thixotropic alloy pulp during this Transfer from the casting chamber cavity into the mold cavity occurs through shear softening the thixotropic alloy, i.e. the thixotropic alloy is by shear softening liquid.
- the pouring systems known from the prior art only meet these requirements partially.
- the known pouring systems have too large a volume, so that the output of thixotropic material per molded part can be significantly improved can.
- a too large volume of the pouring system used in particular affects the economics of the process.
- Another disadvantage of the known pouring systems relates to the speed-dependent Filling behavior.
- the filling behavior of a pouring system can vary depending on the piston speed and the initial state of the thixotropic bolt are very different. So it can with high piston speeds, for example, to undesirable air pockets in the thixotropic alloy slurry of the casting system come.
- Turbulent flow conditions can occur during thixoforming, resulting in Gas inclusions (air, release agent or lubricant) can result in the molded part, causing a any subsequent heat treatment desired, for example solution annealing, of the molded part is often impossible.
- Gas inclusions located near the surface of the molded part can be undesirable, for example, in solution annealing, due to the high gas pressure Cause blistering.
