Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to methods for casting cylinder heads for internal combustion engines, and more particularly to methods of assembling core elements of core assemblies.
- The manufacture of cylinder heads for internal combustion engines poses difficult manufacturing problems. The cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, whether for a spark driven gasoline internal combustion engine or a compression ignition diesel engine, is a complex article of manufacture with many requirements. A cylinder head generally closes the engine cylinders and contains the many fuel explosions that drive the internal combustion engine, provides separate passageways for the air intake to the cylinders for the engine exhaust, carries the multiplicity of valves needed to control the air intake and engine exhaust, provides a separate passageway for coolant to remove heat from the cylinder head, and can provide separate passageways for fuel injectors and the means to operate fuel injectors.
- The walls forming the complex passageways and cavities of a cylinder head must withstand the extreme internal pressures, temperatures and temperature variations generated by the operation of an internal combustion engine, and must be particularly strong in compression-ignition diesel engines. On the other hand, it is desirable that the internal walls of the cylinder head, particularly those walls between coolant passageways and the cylinder closures, permit the effective transfer of heat from the cylinder head, and it is also important that the cylinder head include minimal metal to reduce its weight and cost.
- These countervailing requirements make the manufacture of reliable cylinder heads difficult. Furthermore, these complex parts are manufactured by the thousands and assembled into vehicles that must operate reliably under a variety of conditions. The manufacture of reliable cylinder heads is particularly important because of the high cost of their replacement. Consequently, the manufacture of cylinder heads has been the subject of the developmental efforts of engine and automobile manufacturers throughout the world for years.
- Cylinder heads are most generally manufactured by casting them from iron alloys. The casting of the cylinder head portion that closes the cylinders, carries the intake and exhaust valves and fuel injectors and provides the passageways for the air intake, exhaust and coolant requires a mold carrying a plurality of core elements. To provide effective cooling of the cylinder head and effective air intake and exhaust from the cylinders of the internal combustion engine, the passageways for the air intake and exhaust are best interlaced with the coolant passageways within the cylinder head portion. The cavities for coolant, air intake and exhaust must, of course, be formed by core elements within the mold that can be removed when the casting metal solidifies.
- Such core elements are formed from a mixture of core sand and a curable resin, which, when cured, retains the shape imposed on it prior to curing, and after a casting solidifies, the core sand and resin residue are removed from the casting.
- As a result of recent developments, core assemblies are provided by a plurality of core elements that have interengaging surfaces to locate the plural core elements in the core assembly. For example, head core assemblies can be formed by the assembly of a one-piece coolant jacket core, a one-piece exhaust core, and a one-piece air intake core that interengage during their assembly; however, to maintain such an assembly together as a unit during post assembly handling and casting, the core elements must be fastened together. In the past, adhesive and/or screws have been used to fasten at least two core elements together to maintain the integrity of the core assembly during its handling and during pouring of the casting.
- The use of an adhesive requires an adhesive that can be easily spread on the core elements, that will set within the shortest possible time; that will hold the core elements together as one piece and maintain their position during the casting process, and that may be removed from the casting after the casting metal solidifies. This method results in substantial costs and opportunities for unreliable castings because of a potentially unreliable interface between the core elements. It is necessary that workmen apply the adhesive correctly so that the adhesive reliably maintains the core elements together during casting. Furthermore, this method requires time for applying the adhesive, assembling the core elements together and allowing the adhesive to set before the core elements can be used for casting, and it introduces into the mold an unnecessary foreign element in the form of an adhesive that may evolve gas that may become trapped in the solidified casting and cause areas of possible failure.
- Because of the difficulties of using adhesive to fasten core elements together, the use of screws to fasten together the core elements of core assemblies has been preferred. Although the use of screws to fasten core elements together provides a more predicable assembly of the core elements, it can introduce screws into the casting, which may not be removed after the casting has solidified and may cause failure of an assembled engine.
- The invention provides a method of fastening assembled core elements together without the use of foreign agencies, such as adhesives, screws or other such fasteners, using instead the same core sand and resin that form the core elements themselves.
- In the invention, core sand elements are retained in an assembly by a body of cured core sand and resin that spans the interface between the core elements and fastens the core sand elements together. The core sand elements are fastened together by providing the core sand elements with alignable holes, or cavities, inserting a mixture of core sand and a curable resin, preferably the same resin used in forming the core sand elements, into the holes or cavities of the core elements to provide a body of uncured core sand/resin in the holes, or cavities, and at the interface, and curing the curable resin to provide a body of cured core sand and resin, preferably adhering to the core sand elements, fastening the core sand elements together. In a preferred method of the invention, holes are drilled in the assembly elements after they are assembled and a fluent mixture of core sand and uncured resin is compacted into the drilled holes to provide improved adhesion between the cured core sand/resin fastening elements and the hole surfaces of the assembled core elements.
- Other steps, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the drawings and more detailed description of the best known mode of the invention that follows.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-section of the core elements that have been fastened together in an assembly with the method of this invention.
- FIGS.2A-2D diagrammatically illustrate a preferred method of the invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates, as an example, head core elements that can be fastened together with the invention.

- FIG. 1 illustrates an
assembly 10 of the invention comprisingcore elements 11, 12 both of which are formed by core sand and a cured resin, such as the resin used in the phenolic urethane cold box process that is well-known in the art, comprising a phenolic resin and an isocyanate resin, blended in the ratio of 55 parts to 45 parts, respectively, and cured with a triethylamine catalyst after formation of the mold elements. In accordance with the invention, thecore elements 11 and 12 are joined by abody 13 of the same cured core sand and resin that comprisecore elements 11 and 12. As indicated by FIG. 1,alignable holes 11 a and 12 a have been formed in thecore elements 11 and 12, and the alignedholes 11 a and 12 a have been filled with thebody 13 of cured core sand and resin which spansinterface 14 between thecore elements 11 and 12, and preferably adheres to thesurfaces forming holes 11 a and 12 a. - FIGS.2A-2D illustrate a preferable method of retaining two core sand elements in an assembly by a body of cured core sand and resin spanning their interface. In the illustrated method, a first core element 11 is placed against a
second core element 12, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2A. Aftercore elements 11 and 12 are assembled, the assembled core elements are provided with alignedholes 11 a and 12 a, preferably by the use of adrill 15, as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 2B. Although it is preferable to provide the assembledcore elements 11 and 12 with theholes 11 a and 12 a after they are assembled, by drilling as indicated in FIG. 2B, so the surfaces forming theholes 11 a and 12 a ofcore elements 11 and 12 will be more receptive to adhesion with the cured core sand/resin fasteningbody 13, alignable holes or cavities with shapes other than cylindrical may be formed in the core elements at the time the individual core elements are formed. After thecore elements 11 and 12 are assembled and provided with alignedholes 11 a and 12 a, the assembled core elements are provided with abacking plate 16, which is preferably sufficiently perforate (e.g., at 17) to allow the passage of air, and an uncured fluent mixture of core sand andresin 13 a is added to and compacted within the alignedholes 11 a, 12 a until it at least spans theinterface 14. After the removal ofpacking plate 16, the uncured core sand resin mixture is cured in theholes 11 a and 12 a to provide the cured body of core sand andresin 13 which retainscore elements 11,12 in the assembly 10 (FIG. 2D). - FIG. 3 illustrates, as an example, head core elements that can be fastened together in a head core assembly with the invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, thecoolant jacket core 30 may be lowered into theframe core 20 with a supporting and positioning surface, e.g., 33, of the one-piece coolant jacket core engaged with supporting and positioning surface, e.g., 23, of theframe core 20. A one-piece exhaust core 40 having a plurality of exhaust passageway-forming portions, such as 42, with a plurality of core supporting portions, such as 46, may be inserted into the assembled frame core and coolant jacket core by extending the elongated exhaust passage-forming portions, e.g., 42, which project transversely outwardly from the exhaust core, through openings (not shown) in thecoolant jacket core 30, and the one-piece exhaust core 40 may be supported and positioned in the assembly by engaging the plurality of corresponding core supporting and engaging surfaces of the exhaust core, e.g., 43, 44, and the frame core, e.g., 25, 26. Anintake core 50 having a plurality of core supporting and positioning surfaces adapted to engage theframe core 20, thecoolant jacket core 30 and theexhaust core 40 completes acore assembly 100 with the core elements positioned together for formation of a head core assembly. Theintake core 50 provides a plurality of air intake passage-forming portions, e.g., 54, that extend transversely outwardly from the frame, and theintake core 50 is located on the assembledframe core 20,coolant jacket core 30 andexhaust core 40 by a plurality of core supporting and positioning surfaces, e.g., 52, 53, 54, engaging the corresponding core supporting and positioning surfaces of the frame core, e.g., 27, coolant jacket core, e.g., 33, and exhaust core, e.g., 45, 47, locking the core elements, by their engagement, into an integral unit.
