[0002] With the rapid development of the domestic high-speed rail market, the high-speed rail gearbox is one of the core components of the transmission system of the EMU. The requirements for the chemical elements of the gearbox castings are almost harsh. The low-pressure casting gearbox castings usually use iron risers. Specific The casting process determines that the riser pipe must be soaked in molten aluminum for a long time. During the manufacturing process, Fe (iron) elements and Al (aluminum) elements are easily reacted, and the iron riser pipe is easily corroded and pollutes aluminum. Sometimes the chemical element Fe of the gearbox castings exceeds the standard. In addition, during use, if the iron riser pipe is partially corroded and causes air leakage, it is difficult to find it on site, and it is easy to cause batch quality problems during pouring.

[0003] Fe element is an impurity element in aluminum alloy. This impurity phase mainly exists in the alloy matrix as a lath-like or needle-like AlFeSi phase, which severely splits the matrix and affects the fatigue performance and impact toughness of gearbox castings. Performance indicators such as elongation and elongation have a great impact. The Fe content of gearbox castings is required to be ≤0.12%. However, Fe increase is inevitable in the actual production process. Due to the cost of raw materials, the Fe content of raw materials is generally 0.08-0.11%. , the Fe-increasing space itself is extremely narrow, and once the control is not done properly, it is easy to cause the Fe element to exceed the standard

In the traditional gear box casting process, a kind of paint is applied to the wall of the riser pipe, but the effect of preventing the increase of Fe by the paint method is not ideal, because in the low-pressure casting production process, every blank needs to be periodically pressurized It is difficult to maintain the coating with pressure relief once and periodic flushing. Therefore, only the traditional coating protection method cannot prevent the addition of Fe to the aluminum liquid, and cannot meet the high requirements of the gearbox for Fe content.
