Abstract

The invention provides a technique for producing precision castings of zirconium pump and valves. The technique is characterized in that the precision castings of zirconium pumps and valves are produced by adopting the methods of lost-wax ceramic-shell precision casting and hot isostatic pressing, wherein the lost-wax ceramic-shell precision casting refers to near-net-shape casting adopting a lost-wax ceramic shell for casting in a vacuum self-consuming skull furnace; the lost-wax ceramic shell is formed through reproduction according to a wax pattern consistent with the geometric shape and size of a pump and valve component; the first two layers of the shell of the inner surface of the lost-wax ceramic shell is made from special oxide; the whole shell is manufactured through the process links of wax pressing, painting, shell hanging, dewaxing, roasting and the like; and the hot isostatic pressing is to place a to-be-treated casting in a container which ishermetic and resistant to high pressure and can be heated to high temperature, vacuumize the container, fill the container with high-pressure inert gas and heat the container to a preset temperature. The technique has the advantage of solving the problem of low material utilization rate and hidden trouble caused by no welding seams at high temperature and high isostatic pressure in all directions, high surface finish of the casting, few internal defects of the casting, pure composition and stable performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a precision casting of zirconium and zirconium alloy pumps and valves for chemical industry, in particular to a process for producing precision castings of zirconium and zirconium alloy pumps and valves. Background technique [0002] At present, the manufacturing technologies of zirconium and zirconium alloy pumps and valves mainly include forging cutting processing + welding forming and casting forming. The production of zirconium and zirconium alloy pump valves mostly adopts forging cutting processing + welding forming technology. However, this method has a low material utilization rate due to a large amount of material cutting, and the cost is too high due to the high price of zirconium and zirconium alloy materials. At the same time, the existence of weld seams greatly increases the hidden dangers in the use of pump valves. Therefore, the development of zirconium and zirconium alloy pump valve casting molding technology ha...
