Definitions
- the invention relates to a metal casting method and a metal casting device, especially according to the low pressure casting principle for series production of aluminum castings, according to the preamble of claim 1 or 6.
- the melting furnace must be in front of everyone Mold filling process, but also depressurized for refilling the weld pool and the actual casting process is interrupted during this time, which increased downtime and a corresponding decrease in average Production rate.
- the main problem is that due to the refilling process, there is an increased gas absorption and formation of oxide skin in the melt and highly undesirable corundum deposits in the oven and thereby a loss of quality to the Castings that come in terms of strict quality requirements, such as they are placed on aluminum castings in the automotive industry, cannot be accepted.
- the object of the invention is the method and the device of the beginning the type mentioned so that the mentioned, refill-related impurities of the weld pool can be significantly reduced.
- this object is characterized by that in claim 1 Method or the casting device characterized in claim 6 solved.
- the metal level in the filling tube is for the duration of the refilling process regardless of the degree of filling of the furnace at or above the level the end of the riser pipe, i.e. clearly above the metal level in the Melting furnace, and thus the free fall height of the melt at Refilling significantly reduced, with the result that oxide skin formation and gas absorption of the molten metal due to the largely swirl-free Melt entry as well as by spraying metal particles caused corundum formation are effectively suppressed and thereby ensured is that the weld pool in the furnace and consequently also the Metal filling of the mold of disruptive contaminants, such as gas, oxide skin or corundum inclusions, kept free and the casting quality significant is improved.
- the metal mirror in Filling tube according to claim 2 with regard to a simple level control during the refill phase through a gas pressure control that is dependent on the fill level signal of the filling tube furnace system to the specified level.
- the metal melt during the mold filling process under low pressure from the melting furnace into one with the riser selectively coupled mold so the filling tube is particularly preferably kept constantly under ambient pressure and the gas pressure in the melting furnace between the mold filling phases continuously on one Metal mirror in the filler pipe at the level of the riser outlet area on the mold side maintaining overpressure value adjusted.
- the level measurement in the filling tube according to claim 4 preferably also Monitoring and control of the melt rise in the mold up to Reaching the upper mold filling limit and thus the otherwise to this Purpose required, separate level measurement directly on the casting mold made unnecessary.
- the gas pressure above the metal level in the fill pipe is dependent on a fill level signal operated, on the one hand with the ambient pressure and on the other hand controlled with the furnace pressure 3-way valve so that the filling level in the filling pipe is only for the duration of the refilling phase Height of the riser outlet area brought, but otherwise to the metal bath level the furnace is lowered.
- This variant also has the thermal advantage that by lowering the molten metal in the filling pipe between the refill phases is easily prevented that the liquid metal in the The filling pipe cools down too much and then precipitates on the inside of the filling pipe.
- the casting plant shown in Fig. 1 is used for the production of aluminum castings according to the low pressure process and contains a melting furnace 2 with an immersion in the melt pool 4, which protrudes beyond the furnace top Riser pipe 6 for filling one selectively with the upper, funnel-shaped extended riser pipe end coupling mold 8 as well as with a likewise in the metal bath 4 immersed filling tube 10, which at the top, on the Filling upper limit A of the mold 8 protruding end through a cover 12 is closed with a refill and vent opening 14.
- the gas pressure inside the furnace is identified with the help of a total of 16 Regulated gas pressure control, which from a pressure gas container 18, a reversible between this and a vent and a closed position Multi-way valve 20, a control unit 22 for valve actuation and a measuring the height level of the liquid metal column in the filling tube 10, Level sensor 24 connected on the output side to control unit 22 there, the level in the riser 6 and in the mold 8 after the principle of communicating tubes at the same height as in the filling tube 10 lies and is therefore also detected by the sensor signal.
- Regulated gas pressure control which from a pressure gas container 18, a reversible between this and a vent and a closed position Multi-way valve 20, a control unit 22 for valve actuation and a measuring the height level of the liquid metal column in the filling tube 10, Level sensor 24 connected on the output side to control unit 22 there, the level in the riser 6 and in the mold 8 after the principle of communicating tubes at the same height as in the filling tube 10 lies and is therefore also detected by the sensor
- the casting plant shown in Fig. 1 operates as follows: Outside the actual one Form filling phases, i.e. when changing the mold 8, the gas pressure in the melting furnace 2, controlled by sensor signals, set so high that the Metal mirror in the filling pipe 10 and thus also in the riser pipe 6 at the level B of the mold-side riser outlet area is held. This State is shown in Fig. 1.
- the gas pressure in the furnace 2 is increased so that the Casting mold 8 is increasingly filled, the rate of increase of Melt from the control unit 22 with the aid of the level signal from the sensor 24 is monitored until the sensor 24 indicates that the upper mold filling limit A is reached, whereupon the furnace pressure after a predetermined cooling time the mold 8 again to the level B corresponding to the level Pressure value is lowered and the casting can be removed from the mold.
- a refill of melt is e.g. out a transport pan 28 which can be moved next to the furnace 2 and from which the melt with the help of a gas cartridge 30 via an insertable into the refill opening 14
- Connection pipe 32 is conveyed into the filling pipe 10 at any time without interruption of the mold-side workflow possible, the free head the melt very much because of the raised filling level in the filling tube 10 is kept low.
- the compressed gas control 16 ensures in the refill phase for a level signal-dependent readjustment of the furnace pressure, such that only the degree of filling of the melting furnace 2 increases program-guided height level control in the filling pipe 10 and in the riser pipe 6 or the mold 8 is retained unchanged
- the main difference is a modified gas pressure control 116, through which the liquid metal columns in the filling pipe 110 on the one hand and in the riser pipe 106 and the mold 108, on the other hand, are regulated separately from one another become.
- the gas space at the upper end of the filling pipe is through the Lid 112 is closed in a pressure-tight manner and is connected to the interior of the oven via a the control unit 122 operated control valve 34, through which the Gas pressure in the filling pipe 110 is continuously between the full furnace internal pressure and the ambient pressure is adjustable.
- the gas pressure regulator 116 also contains an additional level sensor 36, the liquid metal level immediately on the riser 106 and on the mold 108.
- the casting process according to the level signal of the sensor system 36, but otherwise analog controlled to the first embodiment, i.e. the liquid metal column in the Riser pipe 106 is constantly at least up to height level B of the riser pipe region raised and is program-guided in the mold filling phase in the mold 108 pressed until the sensor 36 reaches reaching the top Indicates mold fill limit; on the part of the filling pipe 110, however, the gas pressure outside the refill phases via the control valve 34 to the pressure level set inside the furnace so that the metal mirror in the filling pipe 110 the fill level of the molten pool 104 is lowered (FIG.
- the filling tube furnace system can also be used within the scope of the invention be operated with an inert gas.
