FOUNDRY MOLD COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF PREPARING AND MAINTAINING THE SAME FOR REPEATED USE 9 Claims. 01.22-19. 9
, This invention relates-to foundry mold compositions and to the art and method of preparing such compositions and maintaining them in foundry use.
One of the objects of the invention is to produce .a foundry mold composition for making molds having both a very high green strength and a very high hot strength, and which will also peel off and separate from the casting cleanly, with very little, if any, sand adhering to the casting, and with a minimum of burn-on or sand penetration of the surface of the casting.
Another object of this invention is to produce a mold composition that will flow readily and freely in separate granules, and which yet will maintain very highv jolting, ramming, and squeezing characteristics conducive to a high green strength mold. e.
Yet another object of the invention is to produce a mold composition which willimprove the finish ofcastings, and permit a wide range of castings, with respect to weight and metal sections, being made in the same sand, without the use of special facing sand and without sacrifice of satisfactory permeability. Still another object of my. invention is to eliminate from .the mold composition seacoal or pitch in heaps and systems, and to reduce the amount,; ordinarily required, of bonding clays such as bentonite and the like. i t
It is still another object of my invention to produce a mold composition which will readily shake outwith a high degree of disintegration whencastings are drawn and which composition can be repeatedly re-used. with very little re-conditioning treatment, and without the necessity'of adding any great amount. of new material.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent to those skilled in foundry practice from the detailed description of my invention and discovery as hereinafter set forth.
1am well aware of the many difficulties inherent in casting, in green sand molds, such high melting point metals as grey iron, steel and ferrous metals, and also many non-ferrous metals and alloys. The burn-on of sandto the metals, dirt inclusive and imperfections in the castings, and the tendency of molds to swell or to wash resultsin large percentages of scrap and rejected castings, and require prolonged and expensive cleaning procedures including sand-blasting, wire-brushing and tumbling operations. v
To avoid such large percentages of defective castings and expensive cleaning operations in foundries numerous efforts have been made to produce synthetic molding compounds, and special facing sands made of a Wide variety of materials. Many of such materials arenot readily available or are againso expensive as to counteract savings which might otherwise have been effected. It has been suggestedthat various pitches .andhydrocarbons betmixed with molding sand, both for thepun pose of increasing the..g'reen strength of the molds and to cause substantial sooting of the ,mold tofacilitate separation of the casting from the mold. However in 25,876,511 Patented Mar. 10, 1959 such compositions it has been found necessary to use in addition relatively large amounts of bonding clays, such as bentonite, in an effort to prevent adherence of sand particles to one another, forming objectionable lumps, and in an elfortto slow down excessive and rapid burn-out of the pitches and hydrocarbons in the mold material. Since it ises'sential in such compositions that bonding clay or bentonite be deposited on the sand particles externally of the pitch coating, re-use of such molding sands or facing sands in very difficult without extensive re-conditioning steps. This is particularly true when the burn-outofthe pitch has been substantial, with a resulting high percentage, of fixed carbon in the used sand. I
t In the foundry mold composition of my invention '1 have found that the soot'ing occurs at the face of the casting resulting in superior shake-out and separation characteristics, and yet with such shallow burnout of the mold composition, with resulting low percentage of fixed carbon, as to permit its re-use indefinitely with very little re-conditioning. necessary. I have also found from experience with the composition of my invention that I can obtain superior and cleaner castings, with considerable reductions in scrap loss, and at the same time with considerable savingin bonding material.
I describe a preferred example of the composition which I have invented, and of the method of making and maintaining the same, as follows:
An emulsion is first made comprised of 55% to 65%, by weight, of petroleum asphalt having a medium melt ing point, emulsifiedwith aboutf4% of tall oiland 0.5% of hydrated lime, the remaining amount of being water.
vThe tall oil and lime may be mixed into the petroleum asphalt in anyconvenie'rit manner, but it should be a thorough mixture and I accomplish it with the use of steam. pressure. I have found that sodium hydroxide maybe used instead of hydrated lime, with equally satisfactory results. 7 I v v Other fatty-acid soapsand resin soaps may be sub} s'tituted for the tall oil and hydrated lime ingredients, for the purpose of emulsifying the petroleum asphalt, with fairly satisfactory results, but I believe the tall oil and lime to be preferable. I, I 1
When I am about ready to makeup a sand composition I mix equal parts of ,the asphalt emulsion and cold water, the resultant product being what I will refer to as the foundry emulsion. v g p v To make up my mold composition I deposit in a mulling chamber 1600 pounds of clean silica sand, one and a half pints of bentonite, one quart of wood flour and one quart of finely divided vegetable fibre such as Garbo, which is a residue of hulls, and the like, from the manufacture of oat meal, to which a small amount of asphalt coatinghas beein added. To this material I gradually add eight quarts of the foundry emulsion mixing the ingredients thoroughly but briefly, for about forty seconds in the muller. In this step Water is added to bring the moisture content of the composition up to slightlyabove 3.50% by weight. The resultant product is taken fromthe muller by an Overhead conveyor and deposited by gravity flow into hoppers, whence it is taken to the molds. Aeration occurs in this movement of the material, with some loss of moisture content, andthere: fore the moisture content in the muller or mixer may .be varied inaccordance with the particular conditions pres, ent inthe plant where his teed; I' have found amoisturej content of-3% to 3.25% atlthe time of mom n sbe most; satisfactory. I have found it desirable however to provide a greater moisture content at the time of mixing, not only to compensate for loss of moisture prior to use,
but also to improve the coating of the sand particles during mixture.
When the sand composition of my process reaches the hoppers it will be observed thatthe sand .particlesare thoroughly coated and will fiow smoothly and easily without lumps, in separate granules, similar in flow characteristics to small dry grain. Close inspection of the coated sand particles will disclose numerous sharp and fiat surfaces with a minimum of rounded or convex surfaces, of which many were present in the untreated sand.
In making up molds from the composition it will be found to have exceptionally high jolting, ramming and squeezing characteristics, resulting in molds of exceptionally high green strength without sacrifice of satisfactory permeability.
When the molten metal is poured into molds made of this composition, the bitumen in the composition melts, spreading to substantially every particle of sand and bonding the sand together into a firm non-swelling mold which has an exceptionally high hot strength resulting in more accurate castings and substantially reducing. the percentage of resulting scrap. The clay, wood flour, and grain hull ingredients in my composition seem to absorb the foundry emulsion permitting such large quantities thereof to be used, without balling of the sand, as to fill substantially the spaces between the particles when the molten metal is poured into the mold.
When the molten metal is poured into a mold made of my composition there is a partial decomposition of the organic matter in the mold at and near the face of the casting, liberally sooting the mold and the casting at their parting faces, thus enabling the mold to be peeled and stripped cleanly from the casting without leaving particles of the mold burnt-on or adhering to the casting at the time of shake-out. The resultant castings need very little, if any, cleaning operations. The soot does not, however, penetrate the mold to any substantial extent and there is a minimum of fixed carbon in the mold after a casting operation. After the molding composition has been used it is returned to the mullet to be prepared for re-use. When the composition is new I add eight quarts of foundry emulsion, one quart of silica sand, one-half pint of hentonite, and one pint each of wood flour and Carbo to each 1600 pounds of the returned molding composition, and water to bring up the moisture content to the desired percentage. I continue this practice until the composition has gone through three casting cycles. Thereafter I add the same ingredients in the mixing chamber on each cycle but I reduce the foundry emulsion to seven quarts for three casting cycles. At that time the foundry emulsion added is reduced to six quarts for each of the three following casting cycles; then to five quarts for each of three casting cycles; then to four quarts for each of three casting cycles; then to three quarts for each of three casting cycles.
The molding composition may then be said to be fully loaded, and thereafter I add to each 1600 pounds of the used composition, on each cycle, two quarts of foundry emulsion, one quart of silica sand, one-half pint of bentonite and one quart each of wood flour and vegetable hull compound. On each cycle, of course, water is added to bring the water content up to approximately 3.50%, or slightly more, at the mixer.
I have found that the molding composition which I have described, prepared and maintained as I have stated,
