Definitions
- the invention relates to a casting device of the kind set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a casting device is known from the international patent application WO 93/11892.
- the holding furnace is placed at a lower level than the moulds to be cast, and the electromagnetic pump can be connected to each of these moulds by means of a heated ceramic tube terminating in a nozzle which may be tight- fitting pressed around the bottom inlet in the side of the mould.
- this publication describes measures for closing the bottom inlet in the mould after the cast ⁇ ing of same, making it possible to remove the nozzle from the mould after casting with a view to casting a subse- quent mould in a mould string in a mould-string plant, without the cast metal flowing out from the mould.
- the heated ceramic tube connecting the pump to the casting nozzle has an internal cross-section approximately corresponding to that of the bottom inlet of the mould, and a relatively large length as compared to the length of the inlet system in the mould.
- the effect of this is a corresponding reduction of the velocity of the flowing metal within the reservoir, while the mass of the latter correspondingly increases.
- the kinetic energy of the flowing melt within the reservoir is approximately reduced in the ratio a:A between the two cross-sectional areas as compared to the known casting device, in which the communicating conduit is a ceramic tube with approximately the same cross-sec ⁇ tional area as that of the inlet system of the mould.
- the length of the communicating conduit is rather large as compared to the length of the inlet system of the mould, and as the reservoir extends along a major propor ⁇ tion of the distance between the pump and the mould, this means a considerable reduction of the total kinetic energy of the moved melt to be braked, i.e. converted into pressure energy, at a constriction in or at filling of the mould and, consequently, of the amplitude of the resulting pressure surges or impacts.
- Figure 1 highly diagrammatically shows a casting device according to the invention
- Figure 2 in the same way as Figure 1 shows a modified casting device according to the invention comprising a gas pocket.
- the casting device according to the invention shown in Figure 1 and generally designated 1, is intended for casting of a mould cavity 3 in a mould 4 through a bottom inlet system 5.
- the mould 4, which may be a green-sand mould in a mould string in a mould-string plant, is shown as a so-called closed mould, i.e. it has no riser leading from the mould cavity 3 to the upper surface of the mould 4.
- the casting device 1 comprises a holding furnace (not shown) for a light-metal alloy and a pump 6 pumping light metal from the holding furnace through an inlet port 7 and up through an outlet 8 into a reservoir 9.
- the pump 6 may, as described in the international patent applica ⁇ tion WO 93/11892, be an electromagnetic pump submerged in the molten light-metal alloy in the holding furnace (not shown) .
- the reservoir 9 may be connected tight-fit ⁇ ting to the bottom inlet 5 of the mould 4 via a nozzle 10 with a view to casting the mould.
- the entire casting device is heated, e.g. electrically.
- the reservoir 9 extends along a major proportion of the distance between the pump 6 and the mould 4, and likewise, the length of the reser ⁇ voir 9 is substantially greater than the length of the inlet system 5 in the mould 4.
- the reservoir 9 has a mean cross-sectional area A substan ⁇ tially greater than the mean cross-sectional area a of the inlet 5 of the mould 4.
- the effect of this is that during the casting of the mould 4, the velocity v R of the melt within the reservoir 9 is reduced by the factor a:A relative to the velocity V j of the melt in the inlet 5 as well as in the outlet 8 and in the nozzle 10, the latter having approximately the same cross-sectional area as the inlet 5.
- Admittedly, at the same time the mass m R of the melt within the reservoir 9 is increased by the factor A:a relative to the mass j of the melt in a ceramic tube of the same length as the reservoir 9 and with the same cross-sectional area a as that of the inlet 5.
- the kinetic energy Ek R of the melt within the reservoir is equal to 1/2 x m R x v R 2' hence reduced by the factor a:A compared to what it would be if the reservoir 9 were a ceramic tube with the same cross-sectional area a as that of the inlet 5 in the mould 4, or expressed in anoth ⁇ er way:
- Figure 2 shows a modified casting device according to the invention, generally designated 2, and which merely differs from the casting device 1 shown in Figure 1 in that the reservoir 9 comprises a pocket 11 with an entrap ⁇ ped, inert gas.
- the pocket 11 is preferably disposed close to the nozzle 10.
- the same reference nume ⁇ rals indicate the same or corresponding details as in Figure 1.
- the gas entrapped in the pocket 11 must be inert in the sense that it does not react chemically with or is dissolved in the molten metal.
- the invention is described with an electromagnetic pump as a pressure source for moving the metal, but it will be readily understood that the moving pressure may be provided in another way, e.g. by applying pressure to the metal in the holding furnace.
