A process for
casting a gearbox body of a
centrifugal compressor comprises the following steps: 1), preparing a mould box, wherein a gearbox adopts two resin sand box molds, a plurality of U-shaped
ceramic pipes are arranged on the parting surface of the lower box, two ends of each U-shaped
ceramic pipe are connected with a filter and a horizontal runner, a U-shaped
ceramic pipe is arranged at the bottom of the lower box, and two ends of the U-shaped ceramic
pipe at the bottom of the lower box are connected to the horizontal runner and a
flange at the bottom of the lower box, so as to form an upper stepped inner runner, a middle stepped inner runner and a lower stepped inner runner for feeding iron liquid; 2), carrying out brushing or flow
coating, that is, conducting brushing or flow
coating on a cavity and a mud core; 3), carrying out mold assembling, wherein residual sand in the cavity and the mud core is cleaned up, the mud core is lowered into the cavity smoothly, a filter disc is placed into a filter, a box sealing strip and glue are placed, positioning pins are placed into positioning holes, and mold assembling is carried out smoothly; and 4), pouring: a
casting head is well placed, an air exhaust core is well surrounded by sand, the pouring temperature is controlled to be 1400 to 1350 DEG C, and the pouring time is controlled to be 80 to 90 minutes. According to the invention, the problem that casts produced according to the original process have scrapped gas pores is effectively solved; the production cost is reduced; and the productivity effect is improved.
