Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of investment casting, and in particular to a tool and method for top-casting of stainless steel castings. Background Art

[0002] Investment casting has a wide range of applications in aviation, aerospace, weapons, electronics, shipbuilding and other industries. With the continuous development of casting technology, the requirements for investment casting are becoming higher and higher.

[0003] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 The figure shows the schematic diagram of the structure of a hollow structure casting. When performing investment casting, a pouring system is bonded to the wax mold, and a mold shell is prepared and then poured. The casting is performed in the atmosphere without sand filling. Figure 3 shown.

[0004] When pouring without sand filling under atmospheric conditions, the mold shell is placed directly on the ground or on a steel plate for pouring. Figure 1 For hollow structural castings, since the mold shell is in direct contact with the ground or steel plate, the heat dissipation conditions are too poor, and the heat dissipation inside the casting is insufficient, which easily leads to multiple large-area shrinkage cavities and looseness at the inclined surface A of the casting. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a tool and method for top-casting of stainless steel castings, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, on the one hand, the present invention proposes a tooling for top-casting of stainless steel castings, comprising a support plate and four columns; a plurality of heat dissipation holes are distributed on the support plate; the four columns are vertically installed at the four corners of the support plate respectively; a first baffle is detachably installed between the two columns corresponding to the long sides of the support plate; and a second baffle is installed between the two columns corresponding to the short sides of the support plate.

[0007] Preferably, the distance H between the support plate and the bottom end of the column is ≥150 mm.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of first mounting holes are evenly distributed along the vertical direction on the upper portion of each column, and the first mounting holes are used for bolt connection with the first baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the column is made of angle steel; both ends of the second baffle are respectively welded to the column, and the four corners of the support plate are respectively welded to the column.

[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is welded between the middle portion of the short side of the support plate and the middle portion of the second baffle.

[0011] Preferably, a third gear bar is detachably mounted between the tops of the two reinforcing rods.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of second mounting holes are evenly distributed along the vertical direction on the reinforcing pull rod, and the second mounting holes are used for being bolted to the third gear bar.

[0013] Preferably, the reinforcing rod is made of angle steel.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for top-casting of stainless steel castings, using the above-mentioned tooling, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1. Place the tooling on a horizontal surface and remove the first and third bars on the tooling;

[0016] S2, placing the formwork on a support plate;

[0017] S3. According to the size of the formwork, two first stop bars are installed to block the formwork, or one first stop bar and one third stop bar are installed to block the formwork to prevent the formwork from tipping over during pouring. When two first stop bars are installed, or one first stop bar and one third stop bar are installed, the stop bars are required to block the upper half of the formwork;

[0018] S4, pouring the mold shell, and after pouring is completed, removing the first and third stop bars; then the cast mold can be removed.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] (1) By adopting the tooling provided by the present invention, the mold shell is placed on a support plate during casting. Since the support plate is spaced apart from the ground and heat dissipation holes are provided on the support plate, the support plate has a good heat dissipation effect on the mold shell, ensuring sufficient heat dissipation inside the casting, thereby avoiding shrinkage cavities and looseness in the casting.

[0021] (2) In the tooling provided by the present invention, by providing the detachable first and third baffles, when placing the mold shell, the first and third baffles can be removed to facilitate the placement of the mold shell. After the mold shell is placed on the support plate, the first and third baffles are installed, and the first and third baffles are used to resist the mold shell, thereby preventing the mold shell from tipping over during the pouring process.

[0022] (3) In the present invention, multiple second mounting holes are evenly distributed along the vertical direction on the reinforcing rod to facilitate adjustment of the installation height of the third stop bar. Similarly, multiple first mounting holes are evenly distributed along the vertical direction on the upper part of each column to facilitate adjustment of the installation height of the first stop bar. This allows the stop bar to be blocked at the upper half of the mold shell. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
