The invention discloses a process for the
smelting and low-
pressure casting of an aluminum
alloy wheel hub, which comprises: 1, putting an aluminum
alloy smelting material into a
smelting furnace for smelting, and when the temperature in the smelting furnace reaches 740 to 760 DEG C, introducing
nitrogen into the smelting furnace to blow a refining agent into the body of the furnace for refining;2, transferring the molten aluminum
alloy to a
tundish from the liquid outlet of the smelting furnace, adding an Al-Sr intermediate alloy,
mischmetal (Re) and an Al-Zr intermediate alloy into the
tundish to perform modification and refinement treatment under a condition of a temperature of 710 to 730 DEG C, and blowing
nitrogen to the
tundish to perform secondary degassing of the molten aluminum alloy; 3, transferring the molten aluminum alloy in the tundish to a
casting holding furnace, adding a
slag decomposing agent into the holding furnace to remove
slag and blowing
nitrogen into the holding furnace to perform
tertiary degassing; and 4, pressing the molten aluminum alloy into a mold by a method of prepressing, pressure stabilizing, pressurizing and pressure keeping to perform
casting.The process can effectively
discharge slag and degas, has excellent modification and refinement effects and contributes to improvement in product quality.
