Definitions
- the invention relates to a mixing device, in particular for mixing light metal melts with powdered or granular substances, preferably for mixing aluminum melt with a blowing agent.
- a powder of a copper alloy is filled in a wire, and this is then supplied to a molten metal mass.
- a powdery or granular substance is metered from a container into a molten metal, wherein the container has a downwardly tapering part, at the bottom of which at least one nozzle and above an ejector are provided.
- the nozzle is connected to a carrier gas line and the ejector is connected to a mixture-carrying line.
- a gas stream is passed continuously and independently of solids into a mixing chamber.
- the solids are carried into the interior of a molten metal, wherein between the feed line and molten metal, a rotational movement is generated.
- the DE-A-3612613 teaches a device in which a channel for molten pig iron has tuyeres or puffs.
- the invention has for its object to provide a mixing device that allows an efficient mixing of a powdered blowing agent with an aluminum melt shortly before or during the filling of the melt in a die casting tool.
- the solution of the problem is achieved with the features of the claim.
- the invention is based on the recognition that it is suitable for the production of foamed metal bodies, in particular of integral foam, for example according to the WO-A-02/060621 is required, the propellant during the filling evenly to disperse in the melt and to achieve complete foaming in the mold.
- This is achieved with the sprue channel designed according to the invention with mixing elements in a one-stage mixing and foaming process.
- the mixing element has a multi-stage design and can be adapted to different volumes.
- the runner is provided with an increase or constriction at which a back pressure arises, followed by a pressure drop.
- the increase can be formed over the entire width (inner diameter) of the sprue or even partially filling.
- the propellant is added by means of a hydraulic cylinder in the sprue with at least one pin to the liquid light metal stream, preferably in the center of the sprue. At least one more chicane can follow the increase or narrowing.
- the elements of the mixing device and rearrangements in the molten metal flow cause a sufficient distribution of the blowing agent in the metal stream.
- the powdered or granular substances may also other metals or ceramic particles u. a. include. Due to the blowing agent supply by means of mixers with respect. Way and time as a function of Griesskolbenweg a better process stability is achieved.
- the mixer elements are exchangeable as a wear part.
- the invention will be described below in an embodiment with reference to a drawing.
- the drawing shows the mixing device in a runner.
- a sprue 1 of a die-casting mold is internally provided with an elevation 4, which causes a constriction of the cross-section and thus a back pressure.
- the elevation 4 three pin channels 2 open into the sprue.
- two baffles 6 are spaced apart from the elevation 4. The flow rate of the melt stream is, according to the method, high.
- the propellant is injected in the pin channels 2 at the same time by means of a cylinder 3 in the melt stream.
- the pin channels 2 have an inner diameter depending on the size of the part to be cast.
- the pin channels 2 can be arranged side by side or offset from each other.
- the middle part 10 of the sprue 1 can be designed as a wear part easily replaceable.
- the elevation 4 is formed as a hump or ramp, at which the melt flow, depending on the design of the elevation 4, can flow past the left and right or beyond it.
- the different flow rates promote the mixing of the melt with the blowing agent.
- the metal front is detected and converted into a signal, this signal serves as the basis for the automatic corrections for Giessprofil and retraction of / the cylinder 3 regardless of the amount of metal is filled.
- the same sensor signal is used to complete the injection process before the cavity is 100% full.
- the signals can be placed on the casting diagram for visualization and controlled there and can thus be assigned to a casting piston waypoint.
- the invention is not limited to this specific embodiment.
