Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mold in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention concerns a method in accordance wit the preamble of claim 10 for manufacturing a mold.
- the mold is fabricated from such an easily shaped material that, after the attainment of the desired shape, can solidified into a dimensionally stable form.
- Molds have been known since the beginning of the manufacturing art of metals. In later times the use of molds has been expand into the casting of other kinds of materials such clay, gypsum glass, concrete, rubber, elastomers and ceramic materials in general.
- a plurality of mold applications are known, while only a few methods for manufacturing molds exist.
- a mold has conventional been fabricated by casting the mold material onto the original to be copied, dividing the mold into parts and reassembling fo a new casting. Molds can also be fabricated by means of the so called melting wax method used in the casting of, e.g., metals In this method the wax filling the casting cavity is subsided the molten metal.
- the fabrication technology of molds deals with variou materials and the ways in which they are used. Furt ⁇ er, mold fabrication can be — and today even must be — concerned wit the methods of combining automated production techniques with suitable materials and the ways they in which they are used.
- the FI patent publication 71262 deserves to be mentioned disclosing a method in which a polymeric material having a melting point of less than 150 °C is fed in its fluid state into a box-shaped container. After the solidification of the mold material, the material is milled into the desired shape by a milling machine controlled by a computer-stored milling file.
- SE patent publication 64677 is a casting mold for th fabrication of mold-cast pavement stones, in which mold resin, sulfur and bitumen has been mixed into the molding sand, allow ⁇ ing the mold surface to be hardened impermeable to water by means of external heating.
- the mold can be used for producing concrete products with zero shrinkage by virtue of the water- impermeable character of the mold. Release of the cast product from the mold is eased by spraying the mold with soot or talc prior to casting.
- the mold material disclosed in the SE patent publication 64677 is applicable solely for the fabrication of expendable molds.
- the goal of the present invention is set as to develop such a novel type of mold material that can be recycled without the disagreeable cost factor of material loss, which is characteristic of the conventional technology.
- Construction technology uses conventionally molten sulfur in, e.g., certain fixing applications such as the fixing of a metal bolt into a drilled hole or the levelling of concrete test cube ends for compression tests.
- Sulfur melts at approx. 115 °C and forms an extremely fluid mass. If the temperature is allowed to exceed 160 °C, sulfur undergoes a partial polymerization and turns into a rubbery material.
- sulfur has conventionally been mixed with fillers such as sand, or more generally, with ground limestone, which is a mineral containing calcium carbonate.
- fillers such as sand, or more generally, with ground limestone, which is a mineral containing calcium carbonate.
- This method results in a mixed material with a lower cost than that of mere sulfur, with the added benefit that the sulfur concrete attains the color of a conventional concrete.
- the most important benefit is, however, that the cooling shrinkage of the concrete can be significantly reduced by way of using filler additives.
- sulfur brings about disadvantages which so far ha prevented its use as a mold material.
- sulfur milling is associated with the same problem that plagues the machining of, e.g., wax, namely that the material melting in t milling process subsequently tends to adhere to the tool. In case of sulfur this problem is accentuated by the utmost tackiness of sulfur onto any material.
- milling by itself is a slow and expensive shaping method of materials.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbac of conventional mold techniques and to achieve a novel mold material.
- a further object of the present invention is to achieve such a novel method of mold manufacturing that promot the adaptation of automated and computer-controlled productio technology.
- such gel-like molten sulfur concrete can be shaped with, e.g., a scraper into all forms most generally required in molding techniques.
- the present invention is based on the idea that the basic material of the mold is produced by using sulfur as the binder and complementing it with appropriate filler additives, togethe forming a mix appropriately called sulfur concrete.
- Such additives are used according to the invention for this purpose that avoid the known low viscosity of sulfur concrete, while simultaneously achieving a thixotropic molten mix, i.e., a material with gel-like behavior.
- This goal is attained by using filler additives whose particle size is characterized by having a length of at least 1.5 times the thickness.
- Such a filler additive can be achieved by the use of crushing mills which are non-abrasive by their character and can operate but with a minimum of material-against-material abrasion. Examples of such mills are impact mills, jet mills and roll mills.
- the mold in accordance with the invention is principally characterized by what is stated in the characteriz ⁇ ing part of claim 1.
- the filler additive used is milled iron slag with a fineness of at least 400 m 2 /kg.
- the amount of slag is about 2.5 to 5 times the amount of sulfur.
- the filler additive used is milled wollastonite or milled mica.
- a possible additive in the sulfur mix is an extremely fine-grained filler such as microsilica.
- the sulfur mix can be plasticized by means of different oils and glycerin.
- Typical plasticizers used are mineral ils and their fractions such as diesel oil, for instance. All fractio having their boiling point above the temperatures ⁇ sed ' are soluble in the molten sulfur.
- different kinds o liquids known as heat transfer media may be used. These may contain aromatic compounds and glycols or, preferably, glycoethers.
- Sulfur concrete and a filler with sufficiently oblong shape can easily be cast into solid plan or other shapes, which can then be attached to a mold as a pa of the mold, e.g., as sides of the mold.
- Such mold sides can melt-jointed to the other part of the mold by conventional methods, for instance, by melt-jointing with molten sulfur.
- a preferred method for this purpose is, however, electrical melting by using graphite band or braided metal band as the heating element for melting the side part to be joined. This method allows for producing extremely neat joints' quickly and a high level of automation.
- the power supply used can be a welding transformer or similar apparatus.
- the first layer of the sulfur concrete is casted on a heated base or support.
- said base is heated to a suitable temperature of about 70 to 110 C C, the sulfur concrete layer does not bend upon cooling and it is possible to obtain level-casted products in a dimensionally stable form.
- the mold can be stripped by applying electrical heating in th
- the mold can be stripped by applying electrical heating in the same manner as used during the assembly, whereby the side planks are detached unbroken, allowing for their reuse.
- the stripped concrete element is provided for these mold jointing areas with a thin surfacing layer formed of the sulfur mix that can be levelled with a scraper or roller into a layer which is later usable as a jointing layer during the jointing of such concrete elements.
- Such jointing can advantageously be carried out by means of an electrically conductive layer and electric current applied to it.
- glass-fiber mat or any other fiber material mat or cloth can advantageously be used as a filler material for sulfur concrete, provided that the melting temperature of the fiber is higher than the temperature of 115...130 °C used in th process.
- Glass-fiber cloth is applicable with an attractive cost and high strength in conjunction with sulfur concrete or as the only filler in sulfur.
- the most preferred use of the cloth is i conjunction with sulfur concrete, because molten sulfur alone i too fluid.
- a glass-fiber cloth of 200 g/m 2 base weight can material with a base weight of 3...5 kg/m 2 is obtained. This material can then be freely shaped by way of local heating so to further obtain from said fiber-reinforced sulfur concrete composite material such edge stiffeners and differently shaped surfaces that during their cooling remain in their formed shap and can be attached to other part of the mold by the simple means of a heat gun or an IR lamp, or electrical heating as well.
- a mold can be formed essentially without the help of machining, simply by using mechanical form-shaping exclusively or" almost exclusively in such a way that principally avoids the removal material, but instead, rather moves the material within the mo area to be shaped.
- mechanical form-shaping can used for adding material layer by layer to the mold area to be shaped, which is now possible through the fact that the newly applied layers do not exhibit a dripping tendency or shape deformation to a greater degree than that of their cooling shrinkage; all this is achieved by the addition of appropriate fillers that make the mold material sufficiently thixotropic b nature.
- Sulfur concrete mix was produced by adding milled iron slag with a fineness of 450 m 2 /kg into the sulfur according to the following formula:
- Glycerin 40 g The mix was heated to a temperature of 125 ⁇ C, whereb a mix exhibiting easy form-shaping was obtained, capable of being easily formed into almost vertical wall of 15 cm height. Afte the hardening of the product, no surface cracks *were detectable.
- the mix was heated to a temperature of 140 ⁇ C under vigorous mixing, whereby a mix exhibiting easy form-shaping was obtain as in the example above.
- the surface of the hardened product crack-free and hard, while an abundance of round pores with varying diameter were found in the interior of the product.
- Sulfur concrete mix was produced according to the procedure t • of example 2 by using 800 g of slag, 250 g of sulfur and
- Sulfur concrete mix was produced according to the procedure of example 2 by using 800 g of slag, 250 g of sulfur and 50 g of Dowtherm 300 (a heat transfer medium). The mix was heated to 140°C under vigorous mixing and after form-shaping and cooling a smooth-surfaced product was obtained.
- Sulfur concrete mix was produced according to the following formula:
- Heating of the mix was to a temperature of 125 °C resulted in a fluid mix of low viscosity, capable of flowing into crevices even narrower than 1 mm and exhibiting a strong adherence to th adjacent walls (concrete) , however, with a shrinkage crack in the middle of the crevice. Any ratio of filler addition failed to make the mix non-flowing and easily form-shaped at the same time.
- a 2 m long level-cast sulfur concrete plane was obtained by casting a sulfur concrete mix produced according to example 3 on a base heated to about 90°C. Onto said plane was jointed a plank of 200 x 3 x 15 cm 3 size, cast in a comparable method from sulfur concrete. The plank surface was precoated with a fine-meshed acid-proof steel net, dimensions 2 x 200 cm 2 which was attached by electrical heating to the surface. The plank was then placed onto said straight sulfur-concrete plane. Cables from a welding transformer were connected to the ends of the steel net with copper clamps, and the transformer output current was set to 40 A, which was found to melt the plank surface in 5 minutes fully cleanly onto the underlying surface of the plane. Finally, current was switched off and the joined parts were allowed to cool jointed together.
