Definitions

  • the disclosure herein relates to high speed precision casting of metal articles wherein a carriage carrying a mold is positioned above a feed pipe entering an enclosure provided with ladle filled with liquid metal. The enclosure is then put under pressure to expel the liquid metal from the ladle into the mold through the feed pipe. The metal fills the cavity of the mold expelling the air contained therein through vents until the metal solidifies in the vents and closes them.
  • the pneumatic pressure of the enclosure is increased during the progressive solidification of the metalfrom the' top to the bottom of the mold until the solidification front reaches the head of the feed pipe at which time the pressure is decreased, the core withdrawn and'the article separated from the mold.
  • the presentinvention relates to the manufacture of various metal products with outstanding economy by injection molding and, more particularly, to methods of and apparatus for high-speed, precision casting of metal articles of many configurations, including portions shaped as surfaces of revolution.
  • Conventional metal founding offers the advantage of furnishing formed pieces regardless of their complexity directly from the liquid metal. However, this advantage is offset by the many disadvantages which influence the production costs. Specifically, conventional metal founding requires the handling of weights which'are very large in comparison to the weight of the finished-product, including heavy'sand'and'tools, such as the moldbox'es which must be used, as well as the bandling of the metal'itself either inliquid condition in containers which are also heavy and voluminous or insolid condition in the form of crude pieces which have to be subjected to a plurality of finishing operations;
  • the conditions present during metal feeding and tapping usually cause the weight of the metal put into production to be more than double the weight of the piece itself.
  • tolerances of finished pieces are necessarily broad, due to the opposing requirements to which the materials out of which'the molds and cores are manufactured are subjected.
  • the method of casting metal pieces consists of the following steps:
  • the entire molding cycle is carried out at a speed such that the difference of temperatures between the first point of solidification and the last point of solidification does not exceed approximately 50C when pneumatic pressure is reduced so that at that time, the piece in its entirety is in pasty condition and it becomes possible to extract from the mold the workpiece or the withdrawable core giving shape to the inside of the piece prior to the contraction of the workpie ce.
  • apiece weighing l kg and having an average thickness of about 6 mm is cast within 8 to 10 seconds and a piece weighing 40 kg having an average thickness of 10 mm is cast within 10 to seconds.
  • the first stage is that of fillingof the mold.
  • the metal is conveyed by pneumatic pressure from the, casting ladle to the mold to facilitate automatization of feeding, at controlled speed and at large deliveries, without stirringor-pollutionof the. liquid bath.
  • the second: and third stages are those of puttingthe liquid metal in the. mold under pressure: the mold being full, the metal following in the path of the gases which were; contained in the mold enters the vents, and due to the vents small cross section, closes them by solidifying, the metal therein instantaneously. Thesevents may be quite simply aslightclearance in the joints. of the mold.
  • pressure is increased to offset the shrinkage on solidification and prevent shrinkage holes and internal defects which may be caused by an insufficiency of metal.
  • the fourth stage isconcerned withthe coolingprocess. Regardless of the shape andthe cross section of the piece to be cast, it is advisable to avoid bottling up a liquid pocket between solidified walls which isolates the pocket; from the feeding liquid metal under pressure and results in an insufficiency of metal and thus shrinkage. holes on solidification. Accelerationor slowing down of cooling,,depending on the case, makes it possible to prevent the. formation of shrinkage holes; In general, the cooling rate can be controlled by providing mold or core walls of suitable thickness. In exceptional cases, cooling by circulation of a cooling fluid may be necessary. The form of the piece to be manufactured determines the zones forwhich acceleration or retarding of cooling will be required.
  • the fifth stage is the separation of the piece.
  • a small collar located at the joint of the bottom of the mold and the head of the feed pipe, is reheated or its cooling rate retarded to ensure the presence of a zone in which the metal remains liquid in the breaking-off zone.
  • one may also provide for moving the mold with respect to the pipe in order tofacilitate separation.
  • graphite molds are used.
  • the use of graphite molds offers many advantages. Graphites expansion coefficient, and thusits shrinkage on cooling, is very lo wf
  • the low shrinkage of graphite molds in turn permits precision in the production of t sz ss r s syl ad it s qt ya nq t li teyhess er of the gases enclosed in the liquid metal, as do the best molding sands, without itself giving off any gas. Consequently, there are no blisters on the cast pieces.
  • Graphite may be machined to an excellent polish and this gives the cast piecesan ite facilitates extra-rapid cooling and this on the one hand,
  • the cooling front or liquid-solid interface moves at a speed of up to 30 cm per second for pieces having a thickness of the metal of 6 to l mm, so that the temperature difference between the first and the last solidification points of the workpiece is less than 50C.
  • the entire workpiece passes through a plastic stage of a certain duration during which either the core is withdrawn from the workpiece or the workpiece from the mold before setting due to cooling shrinkage and the appearance of cracks.
  • a taper of l to 2 is sufficient to extract a substantially cylindrical workpiece or a core.
  • the workpieces obtained in accordance with the invention are characterized by the fact that they are cast and hardened at the same time, due to the speed of cooling. This hardening extends through an appreciable part of the thickness of the metal, for example to percent. As a result, excellent mechanical properties are obtained even for common quality raw materials.
  • the method in accordance with the present invention offers the advantage of not limiting the characteristics of the steels used as it true for the types of steel which are to be used for stamping or welding.
  • the pneumatic injection molding press in accordance with the present invention includes the following elements which may occupy predetermined positions in relation to a supporting structure:
  • a mold supporting slab suspended elastically above the enclosure comprising a passage for the feed pipe nozzle or for the bottom of the mold as well as mechanism for centering the mold above the feed pipe;
  • a mold to be placed on this supporting slab consisting of permanent elements, by preference of graphite, assembled in a metal casting box having a feed opening at its bottom and an opening for withdrawal of the cast piece in its upper part;
  • a core likewise consisting of permanent elements, preferably made of graphite, resting on a metal support;
  • the press further includes mechanisms for the displacement of the enclosure, for example, a carriage, rails and a winch in order to facilitate the refilling of the ladle with metal, mechanisms for moving the mold to withdraw the workpiece and replace the elements used, and control mechanisms for feeding the metal, for moving the core support, and for regulating the cooling circuits.
  • mechanisms for the displacement of the enclosure for example, a carriage, rails and a winch in order to facilitate the refilling of the ladle with metal
  • mechanisms for moving the mold to withdraw the workpiece and replace the elements used and control mechanisms for feeding the metal, for moving the core support, and for regulating the cooling circuits.
