Abstract

PURPOSE: To restrain bubbling of gas in molten metal and to obtain a casting apparatus for casting a cast product having complicated and thin shapes in the high quality by forming a suction hole on the surface of a mold near the last filling part of molten metal being apart from a runner in a product cavity and/or a feeder head and sucking and pressurizing through the suction hole. CONSTITUTION: A molten metal introducing part 5 in a mold 4 is dipped into the molten metal 15 in a molten metal holding furnace 14. At the time of sensing the dipping of the molten metal introducing part 5 with a molten metal surface sensor 19 fitted to the side surface of a reduced pressure vessel 2, the descent of the reduced pressure vessel 2 is stopped and the pressure reduction is started by actuating a pressure reducing device 12 after waiting the melting near the molten metal introducing part 5 at the bottom of a protecting frame 24. Since the air in the product cavity is sucked by reducing the pressure, the molten metal flowed into the runner 6 is quickly filled in the product cavity 7. After quickly completing the fill-up of the molten metal, the molten metal introducing part 5 of the mold 4 is drawn up from the molten metal 15 in the molten metal holding furnace 14. After closing the opening hole of the reduced pressure vessel 2 with a closed vessel the pressurizing is started by working a pressurizing device 14.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when casting a thin casting having a thin portion of 5 mm or less, contact with the mold accelerates cooling and solidification of the molten metal, which deteriorates the fluidity of the molten metal. Defects such as defective bathing are likely to occur. Further, since shrinkage of molten metal occurs during solidification, shrinkage cavities and crack defects are likely to occur. Although these casting defects are dealt with by a feeder, a feeder of an appropriate size is required to obtain an appropriate feeder force, and in order to promote directional solidification, a feeder is required. It is known to provide a core (generally called "Williams core") that forms a hotspot part by making the tip part of the tongue into a convex shape and adds atmospheric pressure from that part. This Williams core delays solidification by making it into a shape that is easily heat-saturated, and acts on the molten metal with the pressure required to replenish the molten metal during the solidification process. However, it is difficult to stably and effectively apply the atmospheric pressure to the Williams core.
Molten metal easily absorbs gas from the air and remains as a gas defect in the cast product after solidification, which becomes a problem.

The lost wax casting method is known as one of the methods for producing a thin casting having a complicated shape.
In this lost wax casting method, a ceramic mold is used, and the mold is heated to 700 ° C. to 900 ° C. at the time of casting to slow the cooling rate of the molten metal during filling and improve the fluidity of the molten metal. However, since an expensive ceramic mold is used, it is expensive to mold the mold, and the manufacturing cost is considerably high for casting a thin casting having a complicated shape.

Further, as a casting method for thin-walled castings, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-35227 discloses a vacuum suction casting method in which the cavity in the mold is depressurized and the molten metal is suction-cast in the cavity of the mold. And has been used recently. However, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-35227 discloses that air is apt to be entrained from the mold portion which is not immersed in the molten metal, and the effect of vacuum suction is insufficient. Further, although a product having a small height and a simple shape can be cast, it is difficult to apply it to a casting having a complicated shape because of its height and a thick portion. Further, since the high-vacuum state is maintained, the pressure of the molten metal is likely to decrease to form a bubble state, which remains as a gas defect after solidification, and it is difficult to obtain a sound cast product. Further, in the vacuum suction casting, the molten metal that has been completely filled is held in a high vacuum state, so that there is a drawback in that it is not possible to apply a feeder force using the above-mentioned William core.

However, JP-A-62-114761
In the publication, there is a limit to the pressurization of the casting product part through the molten metal. That is, generally, the solidification form of metal is dendrite growth, but pressure loss occurs in the molten metal between dendrites, and it is impossible to exert a uniform pressurizing effect on the product portion through the molten metal. Therefore, although the molten metal feeder effect can be obtained in the portion close to the molten metal surface, the product portion and the feeder are often separated from the molten metal surface, and it is difficult to obtain the effect.

When the pressure inside the pressure reducing container is reduced by the pressure reducing device by the mold having the suction port formed on the surface of the mold near the final filling portion of the molten metal in the product cavity and / or feeder, which is far from the runner, the product is discharged from the suction port. By rapidly filling the cavity and feeder with molten metal and pressurizing the decompression container with a pressure device, gas bubbles in the molten metal in the product cavity and feeder through the suction port are reduced or eliminated, Furthermore, the heat saturation of the mold part between the feeder and the mold surface (the state where heat dissipation is saturated) becomes faster, which delays the solidification of the feeder near the suction port and increases the feeder force into the product cavity.

Further, if a porous member made of a material having better air permeability than the other parts of the mold is provided in a portion of the suction port, which is close to the product cavity and / or the feeder, the molten metal can be more rapidly melted. As a result, the molten metal is sufficiently filled in the product cavity even with a casting having a complicated shape and a thin wall, and the feeder effect is further improved. If the inside of the decompression container is replaced with an inert gas before depressurization, and / or the pressurization inside the decompression container is performed with an inert gas, the metal melt is less oxidized,

Next, the generation mechanism of gas defects, shrinkage cavities, crack defects, etc. will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 5
FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing a molten metal replenishment mechanism that largely influences generation of various defects, a pressure distribution, and a generation mechanism of porosity that is a starting point of defects. FIG. 5 (A) shows flow replenishment between dendrites and liquid phase replenishment while the molten metal is solidifying, and FIG. 5 (B) shows porosity generation conditions, where the horizontal axis is the distance from the molten metal injection port, The vertical axis is the pressure applied between the dendrites.

In the case of ordinary casting, since the unsolidified region is large at the initial stage of solidification, the liquid phase replenishment is dominant as shown in FIG. At this time, the molten metal pressure (P) does not decrease so much and is sufficiently higher than the bubble formation pressure (Pg) of the gas dissolved in the molten metal, so that porosity is not generated. However, when the solidification progresses from the middle stage to the final stage, the solidification progresses, and the molten metal supply shifts to the inter-dendritic flow supply. At this time, the molten metal pressure P decreases due to the flow resistance between the dendrites, whereas the gas dissolved in the molten metal in the unsolidified portion is concentrated and the bubbling pressure (Pg) rises. Then, when the molten metal pressure (P) and the bubbling pressure (Pg) are reversed, porosity occurs.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the porosity is generated by reversing the bubbling pressure Pg even when the molten metal pressure P is applied to the molten metal by applying a specific pressure to the molten metal. It can be prevented by not allowing it. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the effect of pressurization. By directly pressurizing the molten metal for a long time, it is possible to suppress gas bubbles in the molten metal.
Further, since the suction port 18 and the feeder 8a are close to each other, the heat saturated portion 8b is generated. Therefore, in the part of the feeder 8a near the suction port 18, the unsolidified portion 8c in which solidification is relatively delayed
Occurs. The rate of solidification in the feeder 8a depends on the suction port 18 and the feeder 8
It can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the distance from a. Since the inside of the decompression container 2 is pressurized, the suction port 18
The pressurizing effect from the unsolidified portion of the molten metal is rapidly increased by being pressurized into the feeder 8a through the, and lasts for a long time. The pressurizing effect in the feeder 8a can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the distance between the suction port 18 and the feeder 8a.
