AI Technical Summary
During the investment casting process of aluminum alloy, the joints of the two ends of the intermediate partition plates of the box castings are unevenly dry and shrinking, which causes the molded shell to easily surge and crack when pouring metal liquid.
By bonding the inner runner wax mold A and the inner runner wax mold B above and below the middle partition position of the box wax piece, and bonding the straight runner wax mold on the outside, a spacing space is formed to ensure ventilation and drying , avoid uneven shrinkage of the wax mold.
It effectively avoids uneven drying and shrinking of the wax mold at the two ends of the partition plate during the cooling process, and prevents the shell from rupturing when pouring metal liquid.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a process method for preventing shell expansion of an investment mold box type aluminum alloy casting, and belongs to the technical field of casting mold shell preparation process. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum alloy investment castings are of various types, shapes, and complex structures. In the aluminum alloy investment casting production process, each casting molding process needs to go through mold making, shell making, pouring, post-processing and other processes to finally produce qualified castings. For the frame-shaped box casting 1, since the box casting 1 is composed of two cavities, the two cavities are separated by a partition 11 in the middle. The partition 11 has a thin wall thickness of 3mm. One side is a through cavity with a thicker side wall and uniform ribs 12. The other side is a cavity with a bottom surface and a thin wall thickness on all sides. See Figure 2 During the production process, due to the inconsistent thickness of the cavity wall at the connection points of the middle partition 11, when the wax mold sandblasting mold shell cools, the wax mold at the connection points of the middle partition 11 dries and shrinks unevenly, causing the shell to bulge and crack when pouring molten metal. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a process method for preventing shell expansion of investment mold box type aluminum alloy castings.
[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.
[0005] The present invention provides a process for preventing shell expansion of an investment mold box type aluminum alloy casting, comprising:
[0006] The invention discloses a process method for achieving uneven drying shrinkage of the wax mold at the connection points at both ends of the middle partition.
[0007] The process method comprises: after the box wax parts are assembled, they are placed vertically, and the ingrate wax mold A and the ingrate wax mold B are symmetrically bonded to the two sides of the box wax parts;
[0008] The ingate wax mold A contacts the middle partition of the box wax part;
[0009] The ingrate wax mold A contacts the upper part of the middle partition of the box wax part; the ingrate wax mold B contacts the lower part of the middle partition of the box wax part; there is a space between the ingrate wax mold A and the ingrate wax mold B, and the space corresponds to the position of the box wax part at both ends of the middle partition;
[0010] The wax pattern is sandblasted as a whole to prepare the shell.
[0011] The process method further includes: bonding the sprue wax mold to the outside of the ingrate wax mold A and the ingrate wax mold B.
[0012] The ingate wax mold A contacts the middle partition of the box wax part 20 mm to 25 mm above.
[0013] The ingate wax mold B contacts the middle partition of the box wax part at a position 20 mm to 25 mm below.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the mold shell is drying, the space between the ingrow wax mold A and the ingrow wax mold B corresponds to the position of the box wax parts at both ends of the middle partition, ensuring ventilation and drying. During the cooling process of the mold shell constructed by wax mold sandblasting, the uneven drying and shrinkage of the wax mold at the connection between the two ends of the middle partition is avoided, thus solving the problem of expansion and rupture of the mold shell when pouring molten metal.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the description.
[0020] like Figure 1 shown.
[0021] A process for preventing shell expansion of an investment mold box type aluminum alloy casting of the present application comprises:
[0022] After the box wax part 21 is assembled and formed as a whole, the box wax part 21 is placed vertically, and the ingates wax mold A22 and the ingates wax mold B23 are symmetrically bonded on both sides of the box wax part 21; the ingates wax mold A22 contacts the position of the middle partition 11 of the box wax part 21 at 20mm to 25mm above; the ingates wax mold B23 contacts the position of the middle partition 11 of the box wax part 21 at 20mm to 25mm below; a spacing space 25 is provided between the ingates wax mold A22 and the ingates wax mold B23, and the spacing space corresponds to the position of the box wax part 21 at both ends of the middle partition 11; a straight runner wax mold 24 is bonded to the outside of the ingates wax mold A22 and the ingates wax mold B23, and then the wax mold is sandblasted as a whole to prepare a mold shell.
[0023] When the mold shell is drying, the spacing space 25 between the ingrow wax mold A22 and the ingrow wax mold B23 corresponds to the position of the box wax parts 21 at both ends of the middle partition 11, ensuring ventilation and drying. During the cooling process of the mold shell constructed by wax mold sandblasting, the uneven drying and shrinkage of the wax mold at the connection between the two ends of the middle partition 11 is avoided, and the problem of expansion and rupture of the mold shell when pouring liquid metal is solved.
