Definitions
- the invention relates to a casting mold for casting metals, in particular for pressure-assisted casting of metallic alloys based on aluminum, magnesium, zinc or tin.
- the casting of metals or metallic alloys is a manufacturing process of primary forming in which metallic castings are produced from the molten phase.
- the different process variants in particular mold casting, die casting, ingot casting or continuous casting, have in common that the metallic melt is filled or pressed into the cavity of a casting mold or passed through the cavity, whereby the melt solidifies (at least on the surface) to form the casting.
- the contact surface of the casting mold for the poured melt corresponds to the negative of the surface of the casting.
- Casting molds that are used multiple times are called permanent molds and are typically forged, milled and/or eroded from a hot-work tool steel. Under the extreme operating conditions in contact with the molten metal, especially in die casting, the casting molds are subject to high wear due to the combined effect of thermal fatigue, metal corrosion and erosive and abrasive loading at high filling speeds.
- the publication DE 102007 037 701 A1 discloses the use of a high-performance concrete with a compressive strength of at least 60 N/mm 2 for casting molds.
- the casting mold can either be made entirely from the concrete, or the concrete forms a support part for receiving a metallic contour part that has the contact surface for the melt to be poured in.
- the invention includes the technical teaching that the casting mold comprises a high-strength or ultra-high-strength concrete which is formed with the addition of cellulose fibers.
- the basic idea of the invention is to use the high strength and resistance to mechanical and chemical stress of a high-strength or ultra-high-strength concrete, and to make the material suitable for use under cyclic thermal stress with operating temperatures of more than 500 °C by adding cellulose fibers.
- the mold is (first) heated, the cellulose fibers irreversibly degenerate and shrink while releasing moisture, which creates a network of pores in the structure of the concrete. Water released in the concrete when heated, which is chemically or physically bound in the structure, can be released into the environment via this pore network via the surfaces of the mold.
- the cellulose fibers added to the concrete according to the invention can be natural plant fibers, for example cotton or bast fibers, or synthetically obtained, so-called regenerated cellulose fibers.
- the cellulose fibers used have a length in the range of 0.1 - 10 mm and/or a diameter in the range of 5 - 100 pm.
- the high-strength or ultra-high-strength concrete has a high chemical resistance to metallic melts, so that the chemical composition (alloy layer) of the poured melt is not changed by material exchange with the casting mold and, conversely, no significant corrosion of the casting mold occurs.
- a casting mold according to the invention it is therefore advantageously possible to dispense with the process aids commonly used in the prior art, in particular release agents applied to the contact surface.
- the concrete is formed from mineral starting materials that contain expanded glass.
- Expanded glass is a foamed glass of low density with closed, gas-filled pores and is provided in particular as a granulate made of round grains. By adding expanded glass, the thermal conductivity of the concrete formed is reduced, in particular to the range below 1 W/mK.
- the casting mold according to the invention is in principle suitable for a variety of metal casting processes, for example mold casting, pressure casting, ingot casting or continuous casting. Use for the pressure-assisted casting of aluminum alloys has proven to be particularly advantageous.
- the present invention further relates to a method for producing a casting mold according to one of the aforementioned embodiments, comprising at least the following steps in no fixed order:
- a computer-aided mathematical-physical packing density optimization method can be used to determine an optimized grading curve, for example based on a method according to Schwanda, Reschke or Geisenhanslüke (Schwanda, F.: The computational method for determining the cavity and Cement paste requirement of aggregates and its significance for prestressed concrete construction, Cement and Concrete 37, 1966, pp.
- the mineral starting materials comprise at least one binding agent, for example Portland cement and silica fume, and an inert aggregate, for example quartz sand and quartz powder.
- the volumetric release regarding the amount of cellulose fibers added refers to the bulk density of the mineral raw materials.
- the cellulose fibers are usually provided in a dried state and are added to the concrete mix in this state.
- a water-binding value in the range of 0.2 - 0.25 is formed.
- the water-binding value is the ratio between the mass of the effective water and the mass of the binding agents, i.e., in the compositions of Table 1, Portland cement and silica fume.
- the effective water corresponds to the sum of the added water, the inherent moisture of the aggregate and, if necessary, the water content of added aqueous additives.
- the mineral starting materials are provided with at least one alkaline-activatable binding agent and free of Portland cement.
- the alkaline-activatable binding agent comprises granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume and/or metakaolin.
- Table 2 shows exemplary compositions of concrete mixtures used according to the invention based on alkaline-activatable binding agents without Portland cement, ie the mineral starting materials with details of the respective smallest and largest grain size and a range of the respective proportion. The cellulose fibers to be added to the concrete mixture are not taken into account in Table 2.
- an aqueous activator solution is added, which is based on alkali hydroxide, alkali silicate and/or alkali carbonate, for example.
- the alkaline activator solution is added in an amount in the range of 30 - 60% by weight of the alkaline-activatable binder. This creates a water binder value in the range of 0.15 - 0.3. In comparison to the use of a Portland cement-based concrete, an even lower water binder value can therefore be sufficient to develop strength.
- a casting mold made from this has particularly good high-temperature resistance, since the proportion of water separated from the concrete structure when heated is particularly low.
- the cellulose fibers are soaked with the alkaline activator solution before the concrete mixture is prepared. This ensures that when the fresh concrete hardens, the volumes immediately adjacent to the cellulose fibers also participate in the desired microstructure and strength development.
- the negative mold for casting the mold from the fresh concrete can, for example, be provided as a milled or 3D-printed component made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). With a negative mold made of PTFE, the use of a mold release agent between the mold and the concrete can advantageously be dispensed with. Furthermore, photopolymers can be used as printable materials for producing the negative mold in 3D printing.
- the figure shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a cold chamber casting machine for pressure-assisted casting of metals, in particular for pressure-assisted casting of metallic alloys based on aluminum, magnesium, zinc or tin.
- the casting machine comprises a casting mold 100 according to the invention, a casting unit comprising a casting chamber 4 and a casting piston 5, as well as an ejector unit 3.
- the use of a casting mold according to the invention in a cold chamber casting machine is to be understood as a purely exemplary application without restricting the generality.
- the casting mold 100 comprises the two mold halves 1, T, each of which has a high-strength or ultra-high-strength concrete 10 that is formed with the addition of cellulose fibers.
- the mold halves 1, T are formed monolithically from the concrete 10, so that the contact surfaces 11, 1 T of the casting mold 100 for the metal 2 to be poured in are also formed from the concrete 10.
- the casting mold 100 is in the closed state , wherein the cavity 20 is formed between the two mold halves 1, 1', which is delimited by the contact surfaces 11, 11'.
