Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of casting technology, specifically to a method for preventing lateral bending during the preparation of elongated castings. Background Technology

[0002] Castings are metal shaped objects obtained by various casting methods. They are objects with a certain shape, size and properties obtained by pouring, injecting, sucking or other casting methods into a pre-prepared mold after smelting liquid metal, cooling and then grinding.

[0003] Aluminum alloys have good casting properties. Due to their low melting point (the melting point of pure aluminum is 660℃, and the pouring temperature of aluminum alloys is generally around 730~750℃), they can be widely used in casting methods such as metal mold casting and pressure casting to improve the internal quality, dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and production efficiency of castings.

[0004] Existing long and narrow castings are usually produced using sand casting. However, due to insufficient filling capacity of the liquid metal or poor filling conditions, the molten metal stops flowing before the cavity is filled, resulting in incomplete casting. Incomplete casting prevents the casting from achieving a complete shape, causing localized lateral bending in the long and narrow casting. Based on this, the present invention provides an anti-lateral bending casting method for the preparation of long and narrow castings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-bending casting method for preparing elongated castings, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for preventing lateral bending during the preparation of elongated castings includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Prepare the metallic coating;

[0009] Step two: Clean the metal mold;

[0010] Step 3: Apply coating to the cleaned metal mold;

[0011] Step four: Cast the metal mold.

[0012] Preferably, in step one, the coating components are sodium silicate, talc, zinc oxide, kaolin, and warm water, and the weight ratio of sodium silicate, talc, zinc oxide, kaolin, and warm water is 4:2:1.2:0.8:12. Then, the various raw materials are mixed together and then fed into a mixer for stirring and mixing. The uniformly mixed coating is filtered through a 400-mesh filter screen, and then the filtered coating is loaded into a spray gun for use.

[0013] Preferably, the stirring temperature is 50-70℃, the stirring speed is 100-200 r / min, and the stirring time is 30-40 min.

[0014] Preferably, in step two, the surface of the metal mold is first cleaned with an organic solvent, then dried, and then sandblasted.

[0015] Preferably, the cleanliness of the metal type treated by sandblasting is Sa2.5, and the surface roughness is 30-40μm.

[0016] Preferably, in step three, the metal mold is first preheated to 180-250°C, and then 3-5 layers of coating are sprayed onto the mold surface of the preheated metal mold cavity, metal core and gating and riser parts. After spraying, the mold is dried at 60-80°C for 55-65 minutes.

[0017] Preferably, the thickness of each layer of the coating is 30-40 μm, and the spray gun pressure is 1-1.8 MPa.

[0018] Preferably, in step four, the pouring step is as follows:

[0019] S1: Close the metal mold and clamp it with the clips;

[0020] S2: Preheat the crucible to 200-300℃, then add the aluminum block into the crucible to melt it, making the melting temperature 730℃. After the aluminum block melts, control the crucible temperature to 760-780℃.

[0021] S3: Remove the slag from the metal solution in S2, then add silicon, manganese and magnesium in a weight ratio of 10:1:1, and slowly mix them with the solution using a stirring rod.

[0022] S4: Preheat the metal mold to 400-450℃, keep the metal mold at a 75-85° tilt angle, peel off the oxide scale on the surface of the alloy solution, scoop the solution and pour it from the gating gate of the metal mold. When pouring, keep the flow rate of the solution entering the cavity following the principle of slow at first → medium fast → slow at last. At the same time, the tilt angle of the metal mold should be returned to the horizontal state smoothly and slowly until the gating gate of the metal mold is filled.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] This invention uses a metal mold casting method to cast elongated castings, thereby ensuring that the cast elongated castings have no casting defects in appearance and a relatively dense internal structure, preventing casting side bending and safety accidents during use. In addition, silicon, manganese, and magnesium are added to the alloy solution of the casting, which improves the mechanical properties, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance of the casting after casting, while also making it strong.
