Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a core and / or molding sand for foundry purposes, after which a granular mineral and refractory molding material is mixed with at least one inorganic binder and additionally an inorganic blowing additive.
- bentonite is typically used as the binder.
- the additional added blowing additive may be perlite, vermiculite or expandable graphite.
- the bulking additive has a Blähinger of at least 9, that is, the Blveshadditiv in question multiplies its volume at a certain temperature accordingly. This temperature is typically at 300 ° C. As a result, harmful emissions in particular are avoided and the casting quality is improved.
- Inorganic binders such as bentonite according to EP 2 014 391 A2 are equipped with the fundamental advantage over organic binders that significantly less pollutants are released during casting.
- bentonite as an inorganic binder for molds and cores it is also possible in principle to use molding material mixtures for the production of casting molds for metal processing, which use a binding agent based on water glass, as described in DE 10 2004 042 535 A1.
- the molding base material is typically sand or quartz sand.
- the physical curing of the binder, for example, from the water glass is done regularly by heating by moisture is removed by drying. Drying can be done in a hot core box, by hot air blowing in the core box concerned, or by microwave heating or in a conventional oven.
- the grains of the molding base material are connected to each other via binder bridges produced with the aid of the binder.
- the additional intumescent additives added in the context of EP 2 014 391 A2 or also according to US Pat. No. 4 505 750 A now ensure that coring is facilitated. Because the swelling additive ensures that, for example, the core can be separated from the casting.
- DD 158 090 A1 deals with a method for controlling the strength of inorganic molding materials based on alkali metal silicate solutions.
- the special characteristic of water glass is described as a binder and also the unsatisfactory decay properties are presented in this context.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of developing a method of the type described above so that a perfect and rapid disintegration of the mold is associated with a perfect surface of the casting.
- a generic method in the context of the invention is characterized in that are used as a binder water glass and as blowing additive expandable graphite.
- water glass is first used as the binder.
- Water glass is known to be solidified from a melt glassy water-soluble sodium and potassium silicates or their aqueous solutions. Depending on whether predominantly sodium or potassium silicates are contained, one speaks of soda water glass or potassium water glass.
- Such waterglasses are characterized by a high rate of setting and low emissions.
- the use of water glass in foundry technology for hardening molds and cores is basically known, as exemplified by DE 10 2004 042 535 A1, but not in combination with an additional intumescent additive in the form of expandable graphite.
- expanded graphites are special graphites which typically expand by about 50 to 600 volume percent upon heating to temperatures above 150 ° C.
- the above expansion can be so
- the expandable graphite in question is optionally ground and then heated in a crucible. From a comparison of the volume before and after heating can then be deduced on the volume increase.
- a certain amount of expandable graphite (in g) is used in this process, so that not only the increase in volume can be specified, but also an expansion rate, ie the volume increase (in cm 3 ) per gram of expanded graphite used.
- the expansion properties of expanded graphite can be determined, for example, by means of thermomechanical analysis (TMA).
- TMA thermomechanical analysis
- dimensional changes of expanded graphite or individual graphite particles are measured as a function of temperature and time.
- the respective sample of expandable graphite is applied to a sample carrier and the dimensional changes of the sample are measured and recorded with the aid of a measuring probe as a function of the heating temperature and the heating time.
- the powdery sample of expanded graphite can be introduced into a corundum crucible, which is covered with a steel crucible.
- the steel crucible ensures the smooth transfer of the dimensional changes of the sample to the probe, which is in mechanical contact with the top of the steel crucible, as the sample expands.
- the probe is subjected to an adjustable load.
- thermochemical analysis TMA
- the calculation of the expansion of the substance in% or in cm 3 are in the
- the expanded graphite can be characterized by its rate of expansion, that is to say the volume increase (in cm 3 ) relative to the mass (in g), inter alia.
- the expandability of expanded graphite can be attributed to the fact that between the lattice planes of the graphite impurities are embedded, which cause the expansion of the lattice plane spaces when energized.
- These foreign constituents may be metallic groups, halogens, OH groups, acid residues or also SOx and / or ⁇ .
- a granular mineral molding base material (quartz sand) was used for the casting test, and with two different expansion rates as binder waterglass with 1, 6 wt .-% and 0.3 wt .-% expandable graphite, each based on the mold base material:
- an expanded graphite having an expansion rate of more than 10 cm 3 / g and in particular such having an expansion rate of 10 to 100 cm 3 / g, a maximum of 120 cm 3 / g, has proven to be particularly favorable.
- the lower limit of 10 cm 3 / g is explained by the fact that only at such an expansion rate of expandable graphite a coring is made possible, that is, the shape without adherence to the casting properly disintegrates.
- expansion rates of up to 350 cm 3 / g and especially those of up to 100 cm 3 / g are particularly preferred.
- the expansion rate gives the
- sulfur or nitrogen compounds are generally incorporated into the individual layers of the graphite. It is therefore SOx or ⁇ expandable graphite. These typically have a starting temperature for expansion that is more than 1 80 ° C. In particular, a starting temperature of about 220 ° C is observed. That is, only above the specified temperatures (> 180 ° C), the previously stated volume increase is observed.
- the particle size is more than 20 ⁇ .
- particles or grains in a diameter range from 20 ⁇ to 150 ⁇ used and preferably those with a grain size between 150 ⁇ and 300 ⁇ .
- the described grain size of the expanded graphite up to a maximum of 300 ⁇ takes into account inter alia the fact that usually granular mineral sand, in particular quartz sand, is used as the molding base material. This is usually in a mean grain size ⁇ 0.5 mm before, that is, with a grain diameter of typically less than 500 ⁇ . In general, its grain size ranges from 100 ⁇ to 300 ⁇ . As a result, the grains of on the one hand the expanded graphite and on the other hand the mold base material are approximately the same size, which favors the mixing of the molding material with the expandable graphite and its uniform distribution within the produced core and / or molding sand.
- Expanded graphite generally has a carbon content of 85% to 99.5% by weight.
- the maximum humidity of the expanded graphite is in
- the PH value may be between 3 and 8.
- the starting temperature is in the range between 180 ° C and 220 ° C.
- the expandable graphite is added to the mixture in a proportion of up to about 1% by weight and preferably up to about 0.5% by weight.
- the mixture is the mixture of the granular mineral molding material and the at least one inorganic binder.
- the inorganic blowing additive in the form of expandable graphite is added to this mixture.
- Particularly preferred is a proportion of the expandable graphite in the mixture in question of about 0.1 wt .-%.
- the percentages by weight in each case relate to the molding material used.
- the expandable graphite evenly distributed Blähgraphit confuseer in the mixture to simplify from the starting temperature, the coring. Because of the introduced expanded graphite virtually all bonds between the individual grains of the molding material are repealed. At the same time, the expanded graphite, with its relatively low expansion rate of typically not more than 100 cm 3 / g or not more than 350 cm 3 / g, ensures that the surface of the casting that is formed is not or is not negatively affected.
- the bentonite-bonded test specimen corresponds to the state of the art, as described, for example, in EP 2 014 391 A2 and uses bentonite as the inorganic binder.
- the water-glass-bonded test specimen belongs to the process according to the invention, in which water glass (in conjunction with expandable graphite as intumescent additive) is used as binder.
- bentonite-bonded molding material 5% by weight bentonite (based on the quartz sand) + water + quartz sand was used as the bentonite-bonded molding material.
- the bentonite-bonded molding material has 0.3 wt .-% expandable graphite (based on the quartz sand) with an expansion rate ⁇ 100 cm 3 / g. The entire production of the test specimens was carried out in the laborkorkergergang and according to the educachanurgiher ein VDG leaflet P 69.
- the water-glass-bonded molding material according to the inventive method from 1, 6 wt .-% water glass (based on the quartz sand or the granular mineral mold base material) and the same proportion expanded graphite as before and the rest quartz sand.
- the test specimen was produced here in a wing mixer and the hardening of the water-glass bonded cores in a drying oven.
- water glass bonded moldings or molding materials without stabilizing mold frame can be prepared so that they can be handled freely and inexpensively and so can be used as bentonite bonded moldings in terms of their casting technology application for a wider range of applications.
- cores to form inner contours for example, water jacket cores in the production of molds for water-cooled engines to name, which can not be imagined with bentonite-bonded cores and handled.
- main benefits are the main benefits.
- the core and / or molding sand produced by the process according to the invention can also be advantageously used for the production of casting molds for iron-carbon alloys, aluminum alloys, copper alloys such as brass, bronze etc. but also for magnesium alloys and castings produced therefrom.
- the casting molds in question are typically used in the automotive industry. In fact, this molds can be realized with the particularly filigree structures with
- Comparative Example 1 In the photograph shown in Fig. 1, a casting is shown in the left photo, which has been prepared without expandable graphite using a core and / or molding sand and water glass as a binder.
- the right-hand photograph in FIG. 1 shows the relevant workpiece with added expandable graphite in an amount of 0.1% by weight, based on the core or molding sand produced (likewise with water glass as binder, in both cases equal grammages for water glass and the core or molding sand as well as the same core or molding sand was used.
- 2 and 3A to 3C show the basic process in the production of a mold using the core and / or molding sand according to the invention. 2 shows how predominantly hatched grains of sand 1
- FIG. 3A by way of example, two grains or grains of sand 1 of the basic molding material are coupled to one another by a bridge of the inorganic binder or water glass 2 shown in black.
- FIG. 3B shows how, when the starting temperature is exceeded, a crack occurs in the bridge between the sand grains 1 formed by inorganic binders or the water glass 2. For this purpose, essentially the expanding graphite expanding above the starting temperature is responsible.
- FIG. 3C shows the breakage of the binder bridge 3 produced by the binder or water glass 2 in this way.
