The invention discloses a stepped
casting system for an engine
cylinder block, and belongs to the field of
casting. According to the technical scheme, the stepped
casting system for the engine
cylinder block comprises a main pouring gate part, the main pouring gate part comprises a transverse main pouring gate, a plurality of
branch pouring gate parts are arranged below the transverse main pouring gate, each
branch pouring gate part comprises a first vertical pouring gate, the first vertical pouring gates are connected with middle pouring gates, the other ends of the middle pouring gates are connected with
branch pouring gates, and the branch pouring gates are connected with the transverse main pouring gate. The
shunting pouring gate is vertically arranged, the lower end of the
shunting pouring gate is connected with a first inner pouring gate, and the upper end of the
shunting pouring gate is connected with a second inner pouring gate. In the casting process,
liquid metal is divided into two
layers and enters a cavity in a stepped mode, scouring to the cavity is relieved,
liquid metal mold filling is stable, exhausting of the cavity is facilitated, after
mold filling, the temperature of the
liquid metal at different height positions is guaranteed, the liquid
metal mold filling speed is high, the liquid
metal mold filling is stable, and solidification is balanced; the occurrence of
slag holes, air holes, sand holes and
shrinkage porosity defects which are not easy to find is greatly reduced, and the casting yield is improved.
