Description
United Statesy Patent Office A VACUUM SEAL FUR PRESSURE POURING APPARATUS Charles F. Strom, Glen Ellyn, lll., assignor to Griffin Wheel Company, Chicago, Ill., a corporation of Delan ware Application August 12, 1955, Serial No. 527,921
9 Claims. (Cl. 22-69) This invention relates to a method and means for pouring castings and more particularly to the casting of steel by forcing molten steel under pressure upwardly into a mold.
In the pressure casting of molten metal, the metal is forced from a ladle upwardly through a tubular ceramic pouring spout into a mold responsive to a rise in air pressure within a pressure chamber containing the ladle.
Due to the porous wall structure of the pouring spout,
air is sometimes forced through the Wall of the spout into the metal passing upwardly through the spout, thereby causing the production of faulty or defective castings.
it is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide a pressure pouring apparatus and method of operating same embodying means effective to prevent or materially reduce an escape of air through the wall of a pouring spout into a body of molten steel tlowing therethrough,
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a pressure casting apparatus in which the upper end of the tubular pouring spout is cemented within a metallic head and denes therewith an annular vacuum chamber communicating with an air passageway leading to a vacuum pump, whereby any air leaking through the cement between the spout and head is drawn therefrom into said chamber instead of passing inwardly through the wall of the spout into the molten steel.
The invention embodies other novel features, details of construction and arrangement of parts which are hereinafter set forth in the specification and claims `and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a central vertical sectional View of the apn paratus utilizing the preferred embodiment of the invention; and t Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of the apparatus illustrated in Figure 1. i
Referring now to the drawings for a better understanding of the invention, the pressure pouring apparatus is shown as comprising a cover 6 adapted to be detachably secured to a housing 10 to form therewith a sealed chamber 10a, the housing being provided with an air conduit leading to a suitable source of air under pressure. The housing is adapted to enclose a ladle 3 lled with molten steel 4 which is forced upwardly through a tubular pouring spout or tube 7 into the cavity of a mold generally designated 8 responsive to an increase in air pressure within the housing.
The pouring spout or tube 7 is formed of a porous gas permeable ceramic material and is secured at its upper end within a bore 9 in a metallic head 11 by means of a suitable Wet type air setting refractory mix comprising,-
for example:
5% combined water.
As illustrated in Figure 2, the mix is adapted to be worked to a putty consistency and inserted downwardly between the bore 9 of the head 11 and the pouring spout 7 to form first a lower refractory section 13, the mix being retained against downward movement out of the head by means of a sealer ring (not shown) snugly encircling the spout and in ilush engagement against the bottom of the head. A retainer ring 14 is then supported within the bore 9 in vertically spaced relation. to the lower section 13 by means of circumferentially spaced rods 16 to define an annular vacuum chamber 17 surrounding the spout.
Another body of porous gas permeable refractory mix is then inserted into the bore 9 to form an upper refractory section 18 between the head and the spout; after which the mix may be dried and set by heating the head by means of a flame. The upper section 118 preferably extends upwardly between the spout 7 and the inner peripheral surface of a graphite ring 19 secured to the upper side of the head 11 by means of cap screws 21.
After the pouring spout 7 has been cemented to the head 11, a non-porous gas impermeable glaze coating 22 is applied to the outer surface of the spout and radially across the lowerend of the lower refractory section 13 onto the lower face of the head to prevent a leakage of air through the wall of the spout into molten steel passing therethrough. The glaze coating may extend down wardly to within 18 or 20 inches from the lower end of the spout and at least down to the level of' the molten metal in the ladle as shown in Figure 1. A suitable glaze coating may comprise, for example, the following mix:
Percent PbO 6 KZO 7 B203 l1 The head 11 is journaled for rotational adjustment in a wedge-shaped ring 23 continuously welded at 24 to the cover 6 formed with an aperture 26 to receive the lower end of the head. An annular ange 27 is formed on the `upper end of the head for annular abutting engagement Patented Sept. 23, 1958` tion to an inclined position to prevent entrapment of air within the mold' cavity as the latter is being filled with molten metal, as disclosed in the patent applications heretofore referred to.
An air passageway 33 is provided in the head 11 leading from the vacuum chamber 17 to a pipe 34 which is connected to a conventional vacuum pump 36 employed to exhaust air from said chamber. As the pouring spout 7, upper and lower refractory sections 18 and 13, glaze coating 22, head 11, and graphite ring 19 have different coefficients of expansion, it is diicult to maintain an airtight seal between the pouring.. spout and the head during operation of the pouring apparatus. This is because as these three elements, expand and contract at ditierent rates, there developsl between the glaze coating4 22y and The IQWQI surface, 15. of head 11 a minute orice 25 which permits pressure to pass from housing chamber lila between the housing and tube and thence through the porous wall of the tube at a place on the tube above the glaze coating where the tube is gas permeable. By providiugl any annular. vacuumi'cha'mberf17 ybetween the ypouringl spout and the headgitl is apparent that any air leale ingthereinto through orilicev 2-5 from-the interior of the housing past thev lower refractory section 13 will be withdrawn therefromi'by the vacuum. pump. 36, It will also beynoted that'` the` vacuumpump 36. could be omitted from the structure, if desired, whereby air under pressure leaking, from the interior of the housing into the vacuum chamber would be exhaustedtothe atmosphere. It has been found, hovvever, that the pump 36 affords positive protection'. against leakage of' air' into the tube through refractory section 13.
Whiley the invention-has: been shown in but one form, it is obvious'tothose-skilled in the art that it isnot so limited but is; susceptible;l offvarious; changesf and moditications without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention.
