Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting process, in particular to a casting process method of round pipe-shaped cast steel parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] In actual production, large cast steel parts often have round pipe-shaped castings, i.e. tubular parts, which have high quality requirements, full machining, and require full ultrasonic flaw detection inspection. However, the structure and shape of the castings do not meet the feeding conditions of the cast steel parts. Therefore, only the feeding of the castings can be set on the outer circle or the inner circle of the castings to facilitate the feeding of the castings by the riser, so as to meet the feeding requirements of the castings during the cooling and solidification process. However, in the post-processing process, the riser feeding is removed by gas cutting. Due to the curved surface, it is not convenient to cut in place, resulting in large machining allowance and overweight of the castings, and the castings are easily cut.

[0003] Therefore, for such products, how to reduce or eliminate the riser feeding, i.e. reduce or eliminate the hidden danger of gas cutting of the castings, improve the surface quality, reduce the production cost, and improve the work efficiency is particularly important. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, provide a casting process method of round pipe-shaped cast steel parts, which can reduce or eliminate the hidden danger of gas cutting of the castings, and improve the production efficiency.

[0008] S2: The pouring system adopts an open type, and the cross section ratio is as follows: hole: sprue: runner: ingate = 1: (1.8-2.0): (1.8-2.0): (2.0-2.5); The inner gate is arranged at the end of the casting and located at a position 60-100 mm below the parting surface;

[0009] S3: Feeding channel design:

[0010] a: The castings are fully machined, and the machining allowance is placed according to the standard. The center of the inner circle of the castings is offset downward, and the offset value is half of the machining allowance, forming a feeding channel with thick upper part and thin lower part in sequence;

[0011] b: The riser feeding is arranged on the upper half of the outer circle of the castings, and the outer circle machining allowance of 2 / 3 of the outer circle is gradually added to the lower part of the outer circle to the transition to 0 at both ends of the upper box parting surface, and the feeding length is made as a whole with the length of the castings;

[0012] c: set the sand accumulation groove along the length of the outer circle of the casting, and strengthen the feeding sequence;

[0013] d. Set a row of external chill along the length of the lower part of the outer circle of the casting, the width of the external chill is in the range of the corresponding angle a = 40°-55° of the outer circle, and the thickness is 1-1.2 times the wall thickness of the casting;

[0014] S4: riser design: the riser is arranged at the uppermost part of the outer circle of the casting, and the size and shape of the riser are determined by using the modulus method according to M 冒 ≥1.2M 件 ;

[0015] Wherein, M 冒 =V 冒 / A 冒 , M 冒 is the riser modulus, V 冒 is the riser volume, and A 冒 is the riser surface area; M 件 =V 件 / A 件 , M 件 is the casting modulus, V 件 is the casting volume, and A 件 is the casting heat dissipation surface area;

[0016] The number of risers is determined according to the feeding distance; the riser area = 4M 件 ; and the end area = 5M 件 ;

[0017] The riser checking is performed according to the feeding liquid amount method, η*G 冒 ≥(G 件 +G 冒 )*ε checking; G 冒 is the weight of the riser; G 件 is the weight of the casting of the feeding part of the riser; η is the feeding efficiency of the riser; and ε is the volume shrinkage rate of the metal liquid;

[0018] S5: according to the design of S1-S4, sand box molding is adopted, the outer shape is divided into upper and lower box molds, the inner hole is made into an integral sand core, the core heads are arranged at both ends, and pouring is performed after the box is closed.

[0019] Specifically, the surface sand layer thickness of the mold is set to 50-120mm.

[0020] Specifically, the surface sand layer thickness around the gate is set to 100-150mm.

[0021] Specifically, the external chill and the mold are separated by chromite sand with a separation sand thickness of 10-20mm.

[0022] Due to the adoption of the technical solutions described above, the present application has the following advantages:

[0023] The present application adopts the inner hole eccentricity, the gradual transition of the machining allowance of the upper half of the outer circle and the multiple feeding channel superposition cooperation of the sand accumulation groove at the top and the use of the outer cooling iron at the bottom of the outer circle, effectively reduces the riser feeding, when cutting the riser feeding during the post-processing of the casting, the inner hole eccentricity does not need to be cut, the outer circle only needs to be cut horizontally to remove the machining allowance height added by the superposition of the sand accumulation groove at the top, the remaining transition machining allowance of the upper half of the outer circle is small, which is included in the weight of the casting and is not removed, thereby solving the problem that the riser feeding of the casting is difficult to cut, minimizing the cutting of the casting, improving the surface quality of the casting, and the casting after machining fully meets the requirements of ultrasonic flaw detection; the setting of the sand accumulation groove makes the gas and impurities in the cavity float to the sand accumulation groove during pouring, and increases the thickness of the top of the casting, further strengthens the temperature gradient from top to bottom, and is beneficial to enhancing the sequential solidification of the casting; the process method of the present application has high overall cooperation degree, saves raw materials, reduces the cutting workload of the casting and the polishing and finishing workload of the surface of the casting, and improves the production efficiency.
