Definitions
- This invention is concerned with a method for the manufacture of cores for metal casting processes.
- urethane Cold Box Process which utilises amines as catalyst or curing agent, and which is described in an article in the special issue of Giesserei 78 (1991), volume 11 , pages 372 to 374.
- a moulding composition which contains a benzyl ether resin (ortho-phenol resol) and an isocyanate, and which is cured using a tertiary amine as catalyst.
- TMA trimethylamine
- the accelerating effect of a tertiary amine by the formation of reactive transitional compounds during the polyurethane reaction is described by the following reaction equation :
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for the manufacture of cores for metal casting processes in which the above disadvantages are largely avoided, while at the same time providing a method which can be carried out in a relatively cost effective manner.
- a method for the manufacture of sand cores for metal casting processes in which gaseous trimethylamine is conducted through parts of a metering device (3) and then, in a concentration of from 0.01 to 0.12 % wt. % based on the quantity of sand used per core, it is conducted into a core shooting machine (4) where it is brought into contact with the sand, wherein prior to the introduction of the gaseous trimethylamine into the core shooting machine (4) a purging gas is introduced, and wherein for a quantity T of trimethylamine the quantity L of purging gas used is in the ratio of T : L of from 1 : 1000 to 1 : 10000.
- the sand which is fed into the core shooting machine has already been mixed with a benzyl ether resin and an isocyanate so that core production can take place according to the principles of the urethane Cold Box Process.
- General conveying equipment for gases may be used, for example a metering device in which the quantity of trimethylamine is suitably adjusted by means of a control chain or by a regulator. Accordingly the equipment may consist of several parts, such as conveying equipment, measuring apparatus, controllers etc., or it may be manufactured as a single unit.
- the gaseous trimethylamine is conducted through a part of the metering device, although it need not flow through all of the parts.
- liquid trimethylamine to flow through several parts of the metering device, and then be transformed to the gaseous phase, and flow through the remaining parts of the metering device in the gaseous form.
- an extreme odour nuisance can be largely avoided, so that expensive insulation of parts of the core making installation is not necessary.
- advantageously there is no odour nuisance during subsequent storage of the manufactured cores. It is also surprising that an almost stoichiometric conversion of the trimethylamine can be achieved so that the method of the invention can be carried out cost effectively because of the relatively low amounts of trimethylamine which are used.
- the introduction of the purging gas may take place before or after the metering device. It is advantageous that the sand in the core shooting machine is contacted simultaneously by the trimethylamine and the purging gas so that an extreme odour nuisance can also be completely avoided during core storage, because the core is purged by the purging gas at the same time that it is exposed to the trimethylamine.
- the purging gas is introduced directly into the metering device.
- the trimethylamine is supplied in liquid form to metering bellows forming part of a metering device, and thereafter it is conducted in gaseous form through a measuring, controlling or regulating unit which also forms part of the metering device.
- Trimethylamine is normally available commercially in liquid form.
- the triethylamine comes into contact with the sand, which has already been mixed with a benzyl ether resin and an isocyanate, in the core shooting machine, it is advantageously converted to the gaseous phase. This makes possible relatively simple homogeneous mixing of the trimethylamine with sand, and at the same time increases reactivity of the trimethylamine.
- the conversion of the trimethylamine form the liquid phase to the gaseous phase can be achieved advantageously by introducing the trimethylamine into metering bellows.
- the metering bellows remains able to function better than other conveying equipment.
- the gaseous trimethylamine is passed through a measuring, controlling or regulating unit, which is able to dispense the desired specified quantity of trimethylamine which is to be used.
- This information is transferred directly to the metering bellows by means of a circuit, and is there changed into the corresponding setting for the stroke of the metering bellows. It is particularly advantageous that the metering bellows can take a relatively simple form because it can readily be adapted for use on existing core making equipment.
- Figure 1 is a simplified, schematic process flow diagram of a method for the manufacture of cores for metal casting processes according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a simplified, schematic process flow diagram of another embodiment of the method of the invention.
- sand which has already been mixed with a benzyl ether resin and an isocyanate, is taken out of sand mixer (5) and transported to a core shooting machine (4) by means of conduit (10).
- a cylinder (1) contains liquid trimethylamine and is warmed with the aid of a water bath (8). Heating is achieved by means of a heating coil (7) which is connected directly to a heating apparatus (6). Conversion of the trimethylamine from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase results from the application of heat.
- the gaseous trimethylamine is passed through conduit (2) to a metering device (3). In the metering device (3) the amount of trimethylamine is measured , and is adjusted to the desired amount according to a given specified value.
- the trimethylamine is passed through conduit (9) into the core shooting machine (4) in a concentration of 0.01 to 0.12 wt. % based on the weight of sand being used per core, and makes contact with the sand there.
- purging air is introduced to the conduit (2) through conduit (11) and valve (12) so that during introduction of the trimethylamine through the conduit (9) into the core shooting machine (4) air purging of the sand in the core shooting machine (4) takes place at the same time.
- metering bellows (3a) and measuring, controlling and regulating unit (3b) together form a metering device corresponding to the metering device (3) of Figure 2.
- Trimethylamine is present as a liquid in cylinder (1).
- valve (15) When valve (15) is closed liquid trimethylamine is conducted into the metering bellows (3a) via open valve (13). Thereby the trimethylamine expands and is largely converted to the gaseous phase.
- the setting of the stroke of the metering bellows (3a) is made by means of circuit (14) according to the given specified value of the measuring, controlling or regulating unit (3b).
- valve (13) when the valve (13) is closed, the gaseous trimethylamine is conducted via valve (15), which been opened, into the measuring, controlling or regulating unit (3b).
- Addition of purging air is achieved by means of conduit (11) and valve (12). Since the metering bellows (3a) and the measuring, controlling or regulating unit (3b) together correspond to the metering device (3) of Figure 1 , the addition of purging air in the Figure 2 embodiment also takes place directly into the metering device.
