Definitions

  • the invention relates to cores and a method for producing cores from salt by core shooting for use as a cavity placeholder in the production of metallic castings, preferably via the die casting technology, which dissolve completely without leaving solid residues in a solvent and therefore completely and easily from the Have workpieces removed.
  • Nuclei which are used in the casting of metal workpieces in the molds to keep the cavities provided in the workpieces when filling the molds with the melt, are subject to significantly higher requirements than, for example, sand casting or low-pressure chill casting.
  • the cores must be easy to produce, dimensionally stable and contour-accurate, and the materials used for their production and the solvent dissolving them should not affect the casting quality, the environment or cause any health hazards.
  • the surface of the cores must be particularly smooth and contour-accurate and the cores must dissolve completely in a suitable solvent and can be easily removed without leaving solid residue from the cavities of the workpieces .
  • Residues of cores containing non-dissolvable components such as quartz sand can cause damage to surfaces to be refined or cause the failure of an aggregate, for example, when core residues lead to blockage of an injector in the common rail system of a diesel engine.
  • Object of the present invention is to produce cores of salt, which have the necessary strength during die casting of the workpieces and can be easily and completely removed from the workpieces.
  • salt cores according to the so-called core shooting method, also called shot salt cores, which withstand the extreme stresses which occur, for example, in die-cast aluminum. That is, the cores must on the one hand have a high strength and on the other hand can easily be dissolved out of the casting after casting.
  • sand cores can be prepared with water glass as a binder, which have a maximum strength of 500 N / cm 2 . Significantly higher values are achieved in the cores according to the invention, and yet the cores can be easily removed after casting without residue.
  • the cores according to the invention consist of a salt, the binder and optionally fillers, additives and catalysts can be mixed. These cores are intended for workpieces cast using nonferrous metals, such as aluminum, brass or copper, by the die casting process.
  • the cores according to the invention are composed of substances which dissolve completely in water as a preferred solvent for reasons of environmental protection and can thus be removed without residue from the cavities of the workpieces.
  • the cores according to the invention have the advantage that they are composed of substances which, when handled properly, do not show any gas-releasing reactions which pollute the environment, neither during their preparation nor during the casting process.
  • the quality of the castings is improved by avoiding casting defects such as blowholes, gas pores or the like due to the formation of corrosive gases.
  • the substances can be recovered by suitable processes from the liquid phase, for example the salt by spray drying or evaporation.
  • All compositions of the core materials according to the invention can be processed in conventional core shooters by core shooting as a shaping process.
  • the complexity of the geometry of the cores determines the core shooting parameters as well as the design and design of the tool for making the cores and shooting head of the core shooter.
  • the core shooting allows the production of geometrically very complicated cores built with great contour accuracy on the surface and homogeneous structure with uniform density and strength.
  • Suitable materials for the cores according to the invention are the water-soluble salts of alkali and alkaline earth elements such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride, the water-soluble sulfates and nitrates of alkali and alkaline earth elements such as potassium sulfate in particular, magnesium sulfate, and water-soluble ammonium salts such as ammonium sulfate.
  • alkali and alkaline earth elements such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride
  • the water-soluble sulfates and nitrates of alkali and alkaline earth elements such as potassium sulfate in particular, magnesium sulfate
  • water-soluble ammonium salts such as ammonium sulfate.
  • all easily soluble salts are suitable whose decomposition or melting point is above the temperature of the liquid molten metal.
  • the core materials can be easily and simply divided into the desired grain sizes or grain classes.
  • the chosen particle size distribution influences in particular the surface properties of the cores. The smaller the grain size, the smoother the surface.
  • the highest possible degree of filling is sought, which can be achieved by mixing different salts and optionally the additional substances with different distribution curves, for example by a bi- or trimodal grain distribution of the mixture.
  • grain sizes in the range of 0.01 mm to 2 mm are selected, depending on the material, desired surface quality and contour accuracy of the workpiece to be cast.
  • Water-soluble fillers may optionally replace part of the salt, up to 30% by volume, so as not to adversely affect the density and strength.
  • the grain size of the filler is suitably adjusted to the grain size or the particle size distribution of the salt.
  • a suitable binder or a suitable binder system is added to the salt before the core shooting.
  • All binders are possible which, after the curing process, are completely water-soluble, which well wet the salt and optionally the fillers, the mixture of these substances being malleable into cores by means of core shooting.
  • Silicate binders are generally suitable if they are water-soluble. It is also possible to use the water-soluble alkali metal and ammonium phosphates or binders of monoaluminum phosphate. Binders of soluble water glass are preferred.
  • the amount added depends on the water glass module, 1 to 5, and is dependent on Wetting behavior, between 0.5 wt .-% and 15 wt .-%, preferably 5 wt .-% to 8 wt .-%.
  • Wetting behavior between 0.5 wt .-% and 15 wt .-%, preferably 5 wt .-% to 8 wt .-%.
  • the properties of a mixture of salt, optionally filler and binder or binder system can be influenced by the targeted addition of additives. It is also a prerequisite here that these additives or the reaction products of these additives are completely removable from the cavity of a workpiece completely and without residue by dissolution in water, and that during casting no gasses adversely affecting the casting process are released, which can lead to casting defects.
  • these additives may include: wetting agents, additives which influence the consistency of the mixture, lubricants, deagglomeration additives, gelling agents, additives which alter the thermophysical properties of the core, for example the thermal conductivity, additives which prevent the metal from sticking to the cores Additives, which lead to a better homogenization and miscibility, additives, which increase the storability, additives, which prevent a premature hardening, additives, which prevent a smoke and condensate formation during the casting as well as additives, which lead to the acceleration of the hardening. These additives are known to those skilled in the art of making conventional cores. Their added quantity depends on the type and composition of the core material.
  • the gas influencing the core material preferably CO2 or air, in particular for hardening and drying of the cores, can be blown into the still closed form after firing.
  • the pressure may be lower than when shooting the cores and be up to about 5 bar.
  • a thermal aftertreatment of the cores at temperatures up to 500 ° C. is also possible.

  • the core material is composed of the salt and the binder and the additives such as fillers, additives and catalysts, if necessary, wherein the fillers and binders are inorganic. All substances can be homogeneously mixed with known mixing units. The amount of binder and additive additives to be added depends on the purpose of the cores and determines the surface quality as well as the density and strength of the cores.
  • the processing of the core materials is carried out separately from the core shooting process, where appropriate, suitable protective measures to prevent agglomeration and premature curing must be provided.
  • suitable protective measures to prevent agglomeration and premature curing must be provided.

  • the core After the die casting has cured, the core must be removed. It is important that the core completely and easily dissolves immediately and without solid residues.
  • the dissolution rate of the core material naturally depends on the core material and its pretreatment as well as the core size.

Abstract

Les noyaux qui sont introduits dans le moule lors du moulage sous pression de pièces métalliques pour garder libres les cavités prévues dans les pièces lors du remplissage des moules avec le métal fondu sont soumis à de grandes exigences concernant leur stabilité de forme et leur capacité à être éliminés des cavités. Selon l'invention, la substance du noyau est donc totalement hydrosoluble et peut être éliminée des pièces avec de l'eau, sans laisser de résidus, et lesdits noyaux peuvent être fabriqués à partir de sels sous forme non liquide et d'additifs, selon le procédé du tir de noyaux avec compression, en fonction de la composition de la substance des noyaux et de la substance avec laquelle les noyaux sont enrobés.
