Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and a method for obtaining semi-solid sludges applicable in the metallurgical industry and more specifically in the field of manufacturing metal parts by means of any semi-solid state injection process in which closed vessels are used for preparing materials, preferably for preventing them from having a non-dendritic structure.
- the shaping of materials by means of semi-solid state injection can be considered a process that is half-way between shaping by molding and solid state shaping.
- the semi-solid state shaping of aluminum alloys is a process comprising elements of several classic shaping techniques, such as high-pressure injection, squeeze casting and forging.
- semi-solid state shaping includes the fact that it allows a great deal of freedom in the design of the mold and a high production rate, as well as high metallurgical quality and mechanical properties that are better than those from permanent mold casting or high-pressure injection casting.
- agitation makes it necessary to pour the liquid into a crucible or cylindrical or frustoconical vessel, and after reaching the non-dendritic semi-solid structure, the slug, i.e., the semi-solid mass, also called semi-solid sludge, must be extracted.
- the semi-solid mass also called semi-solid sludge
- SEED Simulation Enthalpy Equilibration Device
- FIG. 1 A schematic sequence of the current SEED process for manufacturing semi-solid sludges (slugs) used in aluminum injection cells for obtaining customized slugs has been depicted in Figure 1 and comprises the following sequential steps.
- An auxiliary crucible preparation process should also be performed which comprises applying a lubricant on the crucibles with a brush or spray gun in a manner similar to how the paint is applied, and it is subsequently dried in a furnace.
- a lubricant there will be between 3 and 5 application layers, and the application frequency logically varies depending on the applied layers.
- a first aspect of the present invention relates to a device for obtaining semi-solid sludges as defined in claim 1.
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a method for obtaining semi-solid sludges as defined in claim 5.
- the molten aluminum is poured into a monobloc cylinder or crucible which is a recipient made of a refractory material used for melting a material at a very high temperature
- the crucible is formed by two parts or shells which are preferably semi-cylindrical molten metal injection molds in which metal objects are melted, i.e., the invention proposes a crucible with two halves.
- the semi-solid or slug is therefore demolded transversely rather than longitudinally. The risks of the slugs breaking during demolding are thus eliminated and the slug is prevented from remaining completely or partially adhered to the crucible.
- Crucible cleaning processes are also significantly reduced.
- the crucible according to the invention comprises two half-shells or parts, a half-shell fixed to the vibration table and a movable half-shell.
- Fixing means have been provided for fixing the moveable part to the fixed part and to the vibration table which allow configuring the crucible for pouring and solidification and logically allow separating the moveable part for demolding.
- the fixing means are made up of a tiltable grip assembled in an articulated manner on the vibration table which can be coupled onto a perimetric flange of the movable half-shell. This is obviously a specific embodiment but this fixing could be done in many ways.
- the moveable shell When demolding, the moveable shell is separated from the fixed shell and the slug is in the moveable shell that is displaced to the piston of the injector.
- This movement can be performed by means of a robot or any other type of automated installation.
- the invention comprises a crucible recipient in two halves which can be used in manufacturing metal parts by means of any semi-solid state injection process (e.g. SEED) using closed vessels for preparing materials, preferably with a non-dendritic structure.
- SEED semi-solid state injection process
- the double-shell recipient must have uniform thicknesses in order to assure a balanced heat discharge, guaranteeing the uniformity of the globular structure throughout the slug.
- the double-shell recipient needs spaces for implementing securing systems between half-shells, securing with the shaking table and support-grip for handling the movable half-shell.
- one of the half-shells is permanently secured to the vibration (shaking) table and the other one will be moveable.
- the moveable one will have three positions:
- the movable half-shell has a type of grip plate which allows grabbing it and handling it by means of robot, manipulator or manually. Taking into account that the thicknesses must be uniform in the recipient, an insulator is introduced between the movable half-shell and the grip plate. This grip plate must ideally be located in the upper part of the recipient, at a height which the liquid aluminum/slug never reaches.
- the bottom of the half-shells coming into contact with the shaking table can be open or closed, whichever is appropriate, because the drain hole is not required.
- the cleaning process is much simpler in the double-shell system because the movable half-shell is brought closer to the cleaning-lubricating head which is always accessible and in the same position.
- the double-shell system does not require much lubrication because the transverse demolding of the semi-crucibles is very easy due to the fact that it already has natural demolding. As less lubrication is needed, the thickness of the oxide layer enveloping the slug is less and the risk of displacing said oxides to the part when filling the mold is lower.
- the process also comprises the following auxiliary steps:
- the crucible recipient in two halves (half-shells) allows the transverse demolding of the slug and accordingly:
- the risk of the slug adhering to the crucible is reduced, reducing interruptions caused by insufficient lubrication.
- the recipient cleaning processes are significantly reduced, especially when the skin remains adhered to the crucible.
