Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of casting technology, specifically to a process for preparing bucket tooth shell molds using waste sand as raw material, easily collapsible clay sand, and low alloy steel. Background Technology

[0002] Low-alloy steel bucket teeth coated sand molding is labor-intensive and inefficient. Therefore, vertical molding lines have been introduced for casting. Current technologies commonly used in gray cast iron and non-ferrous metal casting, employing the most advanced horizontal molding lines and imported DIS sand molding lines and vertical molding lines, all use wet mold shells. These processes have high gasification rates and require the addition of 5-10% red coal powder in the shell molding process. Furthermore, this method is limited to gray iron and ductile iron casting. After casting, the red coal powder burns at high temperatures, releasing high levels of SO2 and other harmful substances. During sand mixing, molding, pouring, and sand removal cleaning, irritating odors and fumes pollute the working environment and increase sulfur dioxide levels. The most serious issue is that producing one ton of casting requires ≥ one ton of resin sand (equivalent to an additional cost of ≥ 1150 yuan). Moreover, the molding process of such production lines requires a pressure of 80-120 kg to produce shell molds with a strength of over 8 MPa, ensuring that the shell molds do not crack whether casting is box-type or boxless. After high-temperature casting, such shell molds are extremely hard and unbreakable, and can only be discharged as solid waste. Currently, the existing foundry industry's solid waste is transported out and dumped, which wastes resources and causes water pollution, soil compaction, and vegetation withering. In view of this, the applicant has conducted in-depth research, which led to this case. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly process for preparing easily collapsible clay sand and low-alloy steel bucket tooth shells, which can activate the effective binding of bentonite, thereby reducing the amount of bentonite added by 50%, and can promote 100% complete collapse of the low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell. The collapse effect is excellent, and 95% of the waste sand is recycled. This greatly reduces solid waste emissions and new sand consumption, saves the cost of new sand, and makes a significant contribution to the protection of the environment and resources.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: easily collapsible clay sand made from waste sand, comprising the following weight proportions: 90-110 parts recycled waste sand, 1-6 parts binder, 2-12 parts collapsible liquid, 0.2-2 parts thermal conductivity agent, and 2-6 parts water. The binder is sodium bentonite, the collapsible liquid is CH28 type aqueous solution, and the thermal conductivity agent is magnesium peroxide.

[0005] Furthermore, the CH28 type aqueous solution comprises the following components by weight: 50-70 parts ethyl acetate, 6-20 parts alkali metal oxide, 11-32 parts silane, 10-30 parts lithium hydroxystearate, and 7-13 parts sodium polyacrylate.

[0006] Furthermore, the alkali metal oxide is R2O.nSiO2.

[0007] Furthermore, the CH28 type aqueous solution is a CH28 type aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 70-85%.

[0008] Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of magnesium peroxide is 418 W / (mK).

[0009] Furthermore, the binder has sodium-based bentonite as its end group.

[0010] Furthermore, the recycled waste sand is waste foundry sand shell mold or waste surface sand.

[0011] The manufacturing process for low-alloy steel bucket tooth shells, using any of the above-mentioned easily collapsible clay sands made from waste sand, includes the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Vibrate and screen the recycled waste sand to select recycled waste sand with dust content ≤6% and moisture content ≤5%.

[0013] Step 2: Put the recycled waste sand with dust content ≤6% and moisture content ≤5% into a mixer, add the binder and mix for 3-5 minutes, take it out to constant weight, and obtain clay sand.

[0014] Step 3: Add the collapsible liquid and heat-conducting agent to the clay sand in sequence, then mix and stir evenly to obtain easily collapsible clay sand;

[0015] Step 4: The well-mixed and stirred easily collapsible clay sand is transported to the bucket tooth molding machine for molding to obtain the low alloy steel bucket tooth shell shape of easily collapsible clay sand.

[0016] Furthermore, in step one, the recycled waste sand is vibrated and sieved to 70-140 mesh; in step two, the mixing speed of the mixer is set to 70-120 r / min; and in step four, the molding pressure of the bucket tooth molding machine is set to 100-120 kg.

[0017] Furthermore, in step one, the recycled waste sand is sequentially passed through a flat plate vibrating feeder and a grate vibrating feeder for vibrating screening, with the screening time being 10-20 minutes.

[0018] As described above, the present invention provides a process for preparing easily collapsible clay sand and low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell molds using waste sand as raw material. Through the development of CH28 aqueous solution, corresponding easily collapsible clay sand and low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell molds are prepared. This process is environmentally friendly, and with the use of vertical molding lines, the CH28 aqueous solution can play a corresponding binding role during the molding of the low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell mold. The low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell mold has good overall strength. When cast with molten steel at over 1600 degrees Celsius, the low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell mold hardens instantly upon heating. After casting and cooling, it... It can easily disintegrate the low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell. After more than a month of production practice, it has been proven that it can activate the effective bonding of bentonite, thereby reducing the amount of bentonite added by 50%, and can promote the complete disintegration of the low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell. The disintegration effect is excellent, and 95% of the waste sand can be recycled, which greatly reduces solid waste discharge and new sand consumption, saves new sand costs, and makes a significant contribution to the protection of the environment and resources. At the same time, the low-alloy steel bucket tooth shell has high density, and the low-alloy steel bucket tooth castings basically do not have flash, burrs, sand holes or air holes, which can reduce welding and grinding time.
