Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of high manganese steel frog casting, and in particular to a blunt-angle assembled high manganese steel frog casting process which can significantly reduce internal defects of frog castings. Background Art

[0002] High manganese steel frog products are a kind of railway turnout accessories, which are generally produced by sand casting. Among them, the main process equipment used for casting and producing high manganese steel frog products includes templates and models. The model is generally made of wood and then installed on the template. The template is generally made of steel to carry the model, so that the model obtains the necessary rigidity and maintains the dimensional stability of the model. The template carries the sand box when casting and producing high manganese steel frog products, and together with the sand box, completes the processes of filling sand into the model and curing the sand mold during sand casting.

[0003] At present, the process of high manganese steel frog has the following main problems: the sand mold has poor concession to the solidification shrinkage of the casting after pouring, which seriously hinders the shrinkage of the casting and easily produces crack defects, which in severe cases leads to the scrapping of the casting; when using the ordinary sand mold production process, in order to make the sand mold able to adapt to the requirements of demolding, turning, and closing during molding, it is necessary to increase the amount of sodium silicate added to the sand mold, so as to ensure the integrity of the sand mold.

[0004] It has sufficient strength, but due to the high sodium silicate content, the sand mold has a large resistance to the solidification shrinkage of the casting after the casting is poured, which is easy to cause crack defects. Therefore, the production of blunt-angle assembled frogs by the existing casting method has many internal defects and cannot meet the requirements of the 2021 industry standard "Technical Conditions for High Manganese Steel Frogs" TB / T447 updated version. The top surface of the assembled product is within 20mm downward, and no casting defects are allowed. Summary of the invention
