DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a casting method when a sand mold is used for at least a portion of a mold for defining a product cavity.

Casting is performed by pouring molten metal into the product cavity of a mold. The molds that define the product cavity are classified into metal molds and sand molds based on the difference in their structural materials. Usually, a mold or a sand mold is decided based on the shape, size, material, mass productivity, etc. of the product to be cast (casting), but if the product has a cavity, a sand core is used. Often used,
In this case, sand molds and metal molds are often used together.

By the way, in casting operations, it is considered desirable to control the cooling rate of the molten metal so that, for example, directional solidification can be achieved after the molten metal has sufficiently circulated within the product cavity of the mold. When using a mold as a casting mold, cooling can be achieved relatively easily by providing cooling pipes or cooling passages within the mold and passing a cooling medium through them, or by blowing a cooling medium such as compressed air or water from the outside. The temperature of the mold can be controlled.

However, when a sand mold is used at least in part as a casting mold, it is usually difficult to cool the sand mold. In other words, it is not only difficult to pass a cooling pipe or form a cooling passage inside the sand mold as in the case of molds, but even if a cooling pipe is inserted, the components that make up the sand mold, mainly silica sand, are not made of ceramics. It is a type of molten metal and has a large heat insulating effect, so it cannot efficiently cool the molten metal. If no cooling is performed, the solidification of the molten metal in contact with the sand mold tends to be delayed due to the insulating effect of the sand mold itself, as described above, and as a result, casting defects such as shrinkage cavities and pinholes can occur in the mold. This problem occurs more easily than in the case of , and the strength of the casting is also weakened.

In FIG. 1, numeral 1 denotes a mold for forming the outer shape of the cylinder head, which is actually divided into a plurality of parts. Inside the mold 1, a plurality of sand cores 2 are disposed as sand molds for forming the intake port and exhaust port of the cylinder head, as well as a water jacket. With this mold 1 and sand core 2,
A product cavity 3 in the form of a cylinder head is defined. The surface of the sand core 2 is coated with a coating material 4 (see FIG. 2) made of a base material such as graphite or iron dioxide mixed with a binder such as water glass or phosphoric acid.

First, a molten alloy to be the material for the cylinder head is poured into the product cavity 3 from a pouring port (not shown). When the product cavity 3 is almost filled with the molten metal, the valve 6 is opened and the vacuum pump 7 is activated. Then, the pressure inside the sand core 2 is reduced and suctioned, and air in the atmosphere is drawn through the sand core 2 and through the conduit 5 toward the vacuum pump 7, as shown by the arrow in FIG. At this time, as shown in Fig. 2, since the sand core 2 is mainly composed of sand particles (usually silica sand) 8, there are gaps between the sand particles 8, and air can pass through these gaps. Can flow easily. After the molten metal solidifies, the operation of the vacuum pump 7 is stopped and the mold 1 is removed.
A cylinder head-shaped casting 9 was taken out.
The sand core 2 was removed from this casting 9, and the runners, weirs, etc. were removed to obtain a product.

Note that in this example, air was fed into the sand core 2 by suction, but since the surface of the sand core 2 is coated with the coating material 4, the molten metal does not interfere with the inside of the sand core 2. I didn't insert it enough to cause a problem.
