Definitions

  • Nichols et al. US. Pat. No. 3,455,371, issued July 15, 1969, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention has a die with a mold cavity formed in part by a low thermal conductivity material and in part (i.e., at the bottom) by a high thermally conductive material. The latter conducts heat out of melt in the mold cavity.
  • a belt acts as a temporary closure for the cavity and, if also cool, further aids in cooling the metal in the cavity. Cool belts, however, tend to cause flash to form between the wires. When hotter belts are used, belt life is short and cooling time long. It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for quickly casting intricate, thin-sectioned, articles to close tolerances, without the need for a sizing or trimming follow-up operation, which process readily lends itself to automated production techniques.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a die used in the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged side elevational view of the die of FIG. 1 taken along the section line 2-2;
  • FIGS. 3 7 depict the several steps involved in the inventive process
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a continuous casting process using the invention
  • FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the invention.
  • a die which has a porous metal body and an impervious surface layer which acts as a thermal barrier between the porous metal and the melt being cast.
  • this surface layer comprises a relatively low thermal conductivity material which, after heating, does not rapidly lose heat by conduction.
  • the surface layer is an insulator, and in still a third embodiment the surface comprises a high thermally conductive material having a relieved surface which limits contact with the melt and thereby effectively acts like a low thermal conductor.
  • the thickness of the layer varies from about 0.0005 inch to about 0.06 inch depending on its actual or effective thermal conductivity. During the casting cycle, the surface is maintained at a melt-metal-shedding temperature.
  • melt-metal-shedding temperature is meant a temperature to which the surface layer of the die is heated and at which metal from the melt, even if slightly solidified, will not cling or adhere to the surface for any appreciable distance above the melt immediately after leaving the melt.
  • This temperature will vary with the chemical and physical composition of the surface layer as well as the chemical composition and temperature of the melt and the depth of immersion. Shallow immersed surfaces, for example, do not have to be as hot before entry as deeply immersed surfaces.
  • the surface temperature will vary from F. to about 400 F.
  • a preferred surface layer has a low, or effectively low, thermal conductivity so that it acts as a thermal barrier between the high temperature melt and the cooled porous body during the short time interval in which the die contacts the melt.
  • Materials for this purpose include low thermal conductivity metals (e.g., stainless steel), insulators (e.g., cork), and high thermal conductivity metals which have a relieved surface in limited contact with the melt.
  • the high surface tension of the melt precludes penetration of the melt into the valleys between the relieved peaks and limits melt-surface contact to the peaks.
  • Such a relieved surface may be formed by scribing or etching (e.g., half-toning) a given pattern onto the surface to a depth where the melt will not normally reach unless actually forced into the valleys. The degree of contact between the melt and surface is readily controlled by the depth to which the die is immersed.
  • the porous metal body contains a mold cavity which opens through the impervious surface to receive the melt-metal.
  • the walls of the mold cavity are porous like the main body of the die.
  • the remainder of the surface of the die is covered or sealed by the impervious surface layer described.
  • Means are provided in the die to introduce air, or other gas, into the die behind the mold cavity. At the beginning of the process, the impervious surface layer of the die is heated to the melt-metal-shedding temperature.
  • this is a temperature where no solidification of the casting melt occurs at the surface.
  • Air is then blown into the die, through the porous metal body and out through the porous walls of the cavity to cool the cavity walls substantially below the temperature of the surface layer.
  • particular advantages result from lowering the temperature of the walls substantially below the solidus temperature of the lead alloy melt.
  • a vacuum is drawn through the porous metal to suck melt into the cavity, but, with a deep immersion, vacuum may be eliminated since the head of the melt will force it into the cavity. For shallow immersion such as shown by FIG.
  • vacuum is always preferred especially when a relieved surface die is used. After the melt is forced into the cavity, quick local solidification therein begins, with no substantial solidification on the surface of the die. The die is then removed from the melt and air again forced into the die to eject the casting and commence the porous body cooling cycle.
  • the porous metal body and surface of the die may comprise the same material chemical compositionwise.
  • sintered particles of stainless steel are used as the porous body and are provided with a surface layer of stainless steel.
  • a large thermal gradient i.e., as much as 300 F.
  • a die is made by sintering micron 316 stainless steel powders into a porous block 2 in. X 4 in. X in.
  • the surface of the block is then mechanically ground in a manner which causes particles on the surface to flow together and seal off the many pores and form an impervious surface layer about 0.002 inch thick. If a thicker surface layer is desired, additional stainless steel can be hot sprayed onto the machine-sealed surface followed by heating in an oven to fuse the sprayed stainless steel together. An appropriate grid-forming pattern is then mechanically cut through the impervious surface layer. This is followed by cutting into the porous body to form the mold cavity using any convenient cutting technique which will not close-off or sea] the pores in the walls of the cavity. Among the techniques available for this purpose are electrochemical machining, chemical milling, electrical discharge machining and any of a variety of photoetching techniques. Electrical discharge machining is preferred since it requires the least control for the cutting medium/coolant.
  • Dies comprising a composite of thermally different materials can also be made and be quite effective.
  • a porous body e.g., sintered brass
  • the mold cavity is then masked-off as by coating or filling with a readily removable substance (e.g., wax).
  • the unmasked portion of the die is then coated with an appropriate, dissimilar (e.g., low thermal conductivity) material as by electroforming (e.g., with chromium or Fe-Ni alloys), flame or plasma spraying etc., to form the impervious surface of the die.
  • an appropriate, dissimilar material e.g., low thermal conductivity
  • electroforming e.g., with chromium or Fe-Ni alloys
  • flame or plasma spraying etc.
  • the materials available for such coatings areother metals, metal oxides, carbon and cork.
  • the masking is then removed, as by chemical or thermal means, leaving the desired porous cavity wall and impervious die surface. If aluminum is used, a thermally dissimilar
  • cast battery grids used for automobile batteries are usually about 0.060 inch thick at the border and are usually gravity die cast with much larger amounts of antimony and other alloying agents which increase the flowability of the casting alloy and impart mechanical strength to the cast grids.
  • high antimony concentrations have a detrimental affect on battery performance to the extent that, during cycling, the antimony corrodes away from the positive grids and deposits on the negative grids, where it lowers the hydrogen overvoltage and promotes gassing.
  • high amounts of antimony contribute to the tendency of the battery towards self-discharge.
  • the industry has sought to reduce, and if possible eliminate, the antimony content of the grid alloy without losing the benefits thereof.
  • the process of this invention permits the use of very low antimony content lead alloys as well as antimony-free alloys without any appreciable loss in grid strength.
  • the precise mechanism involved is not known, but it is believed that the alloy is quenched so fast in the chilled mold cavity that the alloy agents are trapped in supersaturated solid solutionwith the lead thus producing a casting which is quickly age hardenable at room temperature. Age hardening is observed as early as 5 minutes after casting and increases with time.
  • the rapid cooling could disperse the alloy additions in a more finely divided form and more homogenously throughout the lead than heretofore available processes and thereby create a situation akin to age hardening.
  • FIGS. 1 9 show a die 2 having a mold cavity 4, here shown to have a battery grid configuration.
  • the die 2 comprises a porous metal body 6 and an impervious surface layer 8 best shown in FIG. 2.
  • a plurality of channels 10 are provided to admit pressurzied air and vacuum into the porous metal body 6 behind the mold cavity 4.
  • Manifold l2 communicates the several channels 10 and is connected to an appropriate air pressure or vacuum source (not shown) via conduit 14.
  • FIG. 2 shows the impervious layer 8 contiguous the porous body 6.
  • An intermediate layer such as an insulator (not shown), could be employed.
  • the impervious layer 8 about 0.060 inch covers all of the die except the mold cavity 4.
  • channels 10 are discharge machined into the block and covered with air manifold 12.
  • a grid pattern having a 30 degree relief angle or draft is cut into the impervious layer down to the porous block.
  • the relief angle which may vary substantially, affects the shape of the solidified grid wire and facilitates stripping of the grid from the die. Smaller relief angles cause the shape of the melt meniscus to be flatter and vice versa.
  • the block is discharge machined to an appropriate depth to give the desired border and grid wire shape.
  • the die 2 is heated, by any convenient means such as flames, radiation, immersion, etc., to a melt-metal-shedding temperature.
  • a convenient way to heat the surface layer is shown in FIG. 3 in which the die 2 is dipped into a melt 18 of the same material which is to be cast. This may be done in the casting pot itself or in a separate pot used only for treating the die. In either event, the die 2 is heated for a sufficient time to bring the surface 8 of the die 2 to the requisite temperature which, as indicated, varies with the materials involved.
  • flame or radiation heating means are used, the cooling air can be flowing at the same time that the surface layer is being heated.
  • the cooling air is forced (see FIG. 4) into the manifold 12 and out only through the porous walls of the mold cavity 4.
  • the remainder of the die block is sealed by the impervious surface layer 8.
  • the heated impervious surface layer 8 tries to heat the cooled areas by conduction, but cannot do so as long as the air flow continues.
  • the impervious surface layer 8 then has no way to cool, except by conduction into the porous body 6 which, owing to its voids, is a very poor conductor. Hence the surface layer 8 remains hot while the porous walls of the cavity 4 remain cool.
  • Temperature differentials of as much as 300 F. are possible between the cavity 4 and the surface 8.
  • the layer 8 can vary in temperature from about 150 F. to above the melting temperature of the melt. For lead antimony alloys and smooth stainless surface layers, temperatures of about 400 600 F. are preferred.
  • the pressure in the manifold 12 is reduced to a vacuum and the die 2 dipped into the melt 18.
  • a deep immersion technique is shown in FIG. 5 and a shallow immersion technique is shown in FIG. 8.
  • the surface of the melt is flame fluxed, covered with a protective atmosphere or, preferably, continuously flowed over a weir to present a clean melt surface to the die surface 8.
  • Vacuum exhausts all air from the cavity 4 and sucks the melt 18 into contact with the cold walls thereof. Metal cannot enter the pores of the stainless as it freezes upon immediate contact.
  • the melt freezes in the cavity 4 as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the shape of the meniscus extending into the impervious layer 8 varies somewhat with the draft angle 16. Battery grids have been cast to 0.060 inch in about V /2 second using this method.
  • the die 2 is withdrawn from the melt 18 (See FIG. 6). Due to the initial temperature of the surface layer 8, its temperature rise in the melt 18 and its brief sojourn in the melt 18 little, if any, solidification occurs against the surface 8. When some solidification does occur, it is non adherent and the film formed falls from the surface 8 immediately after the die is removed from the melt. Hence, for all intents and purposes, the only metal effec ltively leaving the melt 18 is the metalsolidified and held to the cavity 4 by the vacuum.
  • FIG. 8 depicts an embodiment of the invention in which a die in the form of a drum 26 produces a continuous strip of castings 24.
  • a drum shaped die may also produce individual castings by not providing interconnecting mold cavities.
  • the drum 26 has an inner porous body 28 and an outer impervious surface layer 30 having essentially the same properties discussed above.
  • An additional thin coating e.g., about 0.010) of an insulator such as cork may be provided for shallow immersion (i.e., about inch) and cooler drum surfaces. Mold cavities 34 are provided on the face of the drum 26.
  • the drum 26 rotates through a 512T? 375i?spzeazbiamnsum with the solidifi cation time required.
