Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feeder for metal casting with a feeder head, which encloses a compensation cavity, which is open to the outside via at least one compensation opening.
  • feeders are regularly used in or on the casting mold in order to compensate for the volume deficit on solidification of the casting and to prevent voids formation in the casting.
  • the feeders are connected to the casting or vulnerable casting area and are usually located above or on the side of the mold cavity. They include a compensation cavity, which is connected via a compensation opening with the mold cavity of the mold and initially receives liquid metal. At a later time, when the metal solidifies in the mold cavity, the liquid Metal is released from the compensation cavity to compensate for the volume deficit of the casting. It is therefore essential that the metal in the compensating cavity of the feeder solidifies at a later time than the metal in the mold cavity of the mold.
  • a model is initially produced which substantially corresponds in shape to the metal casting to be produced. Feeders and feeders are attached to this model. Subsequently, the model is surrounded in a molding box with molding sand. The molding sand is compacted and then cured. After curing, the mold is removed from the molding box.
  • the casting mold has a mold cavity or, if the casting mold is made up of a plurality of partial pieces, a part of the mold cavity which essentially corresponds to a negative mold of the metal casting to be produced. After the casting mold has possibly been assembled, liquid metal is introduced into the mold cavity of the casting mold. The inflowing liquid metal displaces the air from the mold cavity.
  • the feeders therefore preferably have a sufficient porosity, so that on the one hand during the filling of the liquid metal can flow into the feeder and on the other hand, during cooling and solidification of the metal in the mold cavity of the mold, the still liquid metal can flow from the feeder into the mold cavity of the mold ,
  • EP 0 888 199 B1 describes feeders which may have exothermic properties or insulating properties and which are obtained by a cold-box process.
  • a feeder mixture is poured into a feeder mold.
  • the feeder mixture comprises an oxidizable metal and an oxi- or an insulating refractory material or mixtures of these materials and an effective binder amount of a chemically reactive cold box binder.
  • the feeder mixture is formed into an uncured feeder which is then contacted with a vaporous curing catalyst.
  • the hardened feeder can then be removed from the mold. Hollow aluminum silicate microspheres may be used as the insulating refractory material.
  • the feeders receive a low thermal conductivity and thus a very pronounced insulating effect. Furthermore, these feeders have a very low weight, so that they can be easily handled and transported on the one hand and on the other not so easy to fall off the model when this is tilted, for example.
  • EP 0 913 215 B1 describes a method for producing feeders and other feed and feed elements for casting molds.
  • a composition comprising hollow aluminosilicate microspheres having an alumina content of less than 38% by weight, a binder for cold box curing, and optionally a filler, wherein the filler is not in fibrous form, is formed by blowing into a mold box shaped uncured molded product.
  • This uncured molded product is contacted with a suitable catalyst, whereby the molded product cures.
  • the cured molded product can then be removed from the molding box.
  • the feeders obtained by this method also have a pronounced insulating effect and a low weight.
  • the feeders described above contain, as a refractory filling material, aluminum silicate microbubbles which are bonded by an organic polymer as a binder.
  • the organic binder decomposes - A -
  • an exothermic feeder composition which contains aluminum and magnesium, at least one oxidizing agent, a SiÜ 2 -containing filler and an alkali silicate as a binder. Further, the feeder mass contains about 2.5 to 20 wt .-% of a reactive alumina having a specific surface area of at least about 0.5 m 2 / g and an average particle diameter (D 5 0) of about 0.5 to 8 microns.
  • the feeder mass is practically free of fluoride-containing fluxes.
  • the problem arises that the liquid metal is first shock-cooled as it enters the balance cavity of the feeder by contact with the wall of the balance cavity. It forms a thin layer of solidified metal on the wall of the compensation cavity, which seals the compensation cavity gas-tight. Therefore, the liquid metal in the compensation cavity can no longer flow, since the lack of or reduced porosity of the feeder head, the air can not flow unhindered in the compensation cavity and adjusts a negative pressure.
  • the invention was therefore an object of the invention to provide a feeder, which allows a reliable feeding of a casting.
  • the compensation cavity in the feeder head is lined at least in sections with an insulating layer.
  • the liquid metal does not come into direct contact with the material of the feeder head when flowing into the compensation cavity, which usually also consists of the wall of the compensation cavity. Therefore, the liquid metal undergoes no shock-like cooling, so that no thin metal skin forms on the wall of the compensation cavity, which closes the pores of the feeder head and thereby no longer allows air exchange between compensation cavity and environment. Due to the delayed at the moment of penetration of the liquid metal into the compensation cavity heat flow, the feeder head can be heated by the liquid metal, so that the wall of the compensation cavity reaches a temperature which is above the temperature of the melting point of the metal.
  • An insulating layer is thus understood to mean a layer which has a lower thermal conductivity than the material of the feeder head. Due to the insulating layer of the compensation cavity of the feeder head is thus isolated against rapid flow of heat.
  • a feeder for metal casting with a feeder head, which encloses a compensation cavity, which is open via at least one compensation opening to the outside.
  • the compensation cavity is at least sectionally equipped with a heat-insulating layer. clothes, which prevents direct contact between liquid metal and the material of the feeder head when flowing liquid metal into the compensation cavity.
  • the provided in the inventive feeder in the compensation cavity insulating layer thus acts as a thermal insulation between the liquid metal and the material of the feeder head.
  • the thermal conductivity of the insulating layer is less than the thermal conductivity of the material from which the wall of the compensation cavity or the feeder head is made or the insulating layer itself has exothermic properties.
  • the thermal conductivity of the insulating layer is at least 10% less than the thermal conductivity of the material of the feeder head, preferably by at least 20%, particularly preferably by more than 50%.
  • the insulating layer reduces the heat flow from the liquid metal in the compensation cavity into the surrounding feeder head.
  • the insulating effect remains at least at the time of flowing liquid metal into the compensation cavity, so that the heat flow from the liquid metal into the feeder head is delayed so far that no skin of metal can form along the wall of the Ausreteshohlraums .
  • the insulation can be permanently formed, so that the insulating layer may still be present on the wall of the feeder even after casting.
  • the feeder according to the invention can in itself take any suitable shape.
  • the feeder can be designed as a cylindrical feeder be, in which the compensation cavity is open on both sides or closed on one side. On the closed side of the compensation cavity, a ventilation opening may be provided. Such feeders can simply be plugged onto the model.
  • the feeder can be designed as a spring mandrel feeder, which can be attached to a model by means of a spring mandrel.
  • the feeder as a filter feeder, in which a filter insert is provided in the compensation cavity to retain contaminants in the liquid metal.
  • the feeder according to the invention can be made in one piece and in the simplest case have the shape of a tube opened on both sides. The feeder consists in this case only of the feeder head, which comprises the compensation cavity.
  • the feeder may have a feeder head which includes the compensation cavity.
  • a tubular body may be received, which establishes the connection between the compensation cavity and the mold cavity of the mold.
  • the tubular body may be fixedly or slidably received in the compensation opening.
  • the compensation cavity is at least partially lined with an insulating layer which prevents direct contact between the liquid metal and the wall of the compensation cavity, which is constructed of the material of the feeder head as the liquid metal flows into the compensation cavity
  • the insulating layer may be formed of a single layer. But it is also possible to arrange several layers one above the other, which together form the insulating layer.
  • the insulating layer preferably adjoins directly to the existing of the material of the feeder head wall of the Ausreteshohlraums.
  • the insulating layer preferably extends at least as far into the compensation cavity starting at the compensation opening, as corresponds to the penetration depth of the liquid metal.
  • at least the walls of the compensation hollow space running around the longitudinal axis of the feeder head are provided with the insulating layer.
  • the insulating layer is formed by a sizing. Since sizing can be made in such a way that they contain only small amounts of combustible compounds, this embodiment has the advantage that only a slight evolution of gas or smoke occurs on contact with the liquid metal.
  • the sizing has insulating properties and is applied in a conventional manner to the wall of the compensating cavity, for example by spraying or brushing on.
  • the insulating sizing contains as essential constituents a carrier liquid, such as water or alcohols, for example ethanol or propanol, or alcohol / water mixtures, an insulating material, such as materials containing cavities, for example hollow microspheres, in particular aluminosilicate microcubes, or diathomite, or materials with a platelet or rod-shaped structure, such as ceramic or mineral fibers, layered minerals, such as mica, pyrophyllite, talc, wollastonite, and usually a binder, to ensure a secure fixation of the sizing layer on the wall of the compensation cavity.
