Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of investment casting, and in particular relates to a wax removal structure for improving the quality of a mold shell and a method for preparing the mold shell. Background Art
[0002] With the in-depth development of my country's aviation and aerospace industries, various complex silica sol shell investment castings have been widely used in the manufacturing of aviation and aerospace engines. Since these components often serve in harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high corrosion, they have strict requirements on performance indicators in terms of internal quality and surface quality, and are not allowed to repair any kind of defects. Product acceptance is carried out with a near-zero defect standard.
[0003] One of the core points of using investment casting to achieve qualified production of such components is the qualified production of silica sol mold shell; high-quality silica sol mold shell cannot have microcracks, because the presence of microcracks in the mold shell will directly lead to peeling of the surface layer on the inner surface of the shell, which will then place various tiny particles in the shell cavity. Since such components have complex structures and are mostly thin-walled components, it is difficult for tiny particles to be discharged from the shell cavity, resulting in surface or internal slag inclusion defects in the casting after pouring, causing product failure and seriously reducing the product qualification rate. To address this type of problem, on the one hand, multiple wax drainage holes are set up to reduce the expansion of the mold shell caused by the high-temperature and high-pressure steam during dewaxing, which causes the model wax to expand and cannot be discharged out of the mold shell in time, resulting in micro cracks in the mold shell; on the other hand, multiple wax drainage holes can provide multiple channels for subsequent cleaning of foreign matter residues in the mold shell cavity, that is, the wax drainage holes also have the function of cleaning and removing impurities in the subsequent mold shell cavity, which is conducive to the full implementation of the cleaning work of the mold shell and cavity. Starting from both preventing mold shell expansion and facilitating the cleaning of the mold shell and cavity, the probability of defects in castings can be greatly reduced and the qualified rate of castings can be improved.
[0004] The traditional wax draining holes are simple cylindrical wax blocks. They are pasted at various parts of the wax mold module, and after the gaps are closed, the shell-making operation is carried out. After the shell-making is completed, along the cutting line, the shell at the wax draining hole part is opened before the dewaxing work starts, ensuring that the model wax can be discharged from the shell in a timely and efficient manner when the module is dewaxed, and avoiding the generation of micro-cracks in the shell caused by the expansion of the model wax due to high-temperature and high-pressure steam in the module. However, the traditional wax draining holes have two disadvantages. Firstly, after the shell at the wax draining hole part is opened along the cutting line, the end face is uneven, and the adhesion strength of refractory materials such as sand grains and powder materials on the end face is different, which is likely to cause secondary inclusions in the shell cavity. On the other hand, before the pouring operation, after the shell cavity is blown and cleaned, the holes of the wax draining holes need to be repaired to avoid alloy liquid overflow and running fire. The traditional repair method is to wrap the end of the shell wax draining hole with aluminum foil paper, and then wrap and seal it with refractory mud made of silica sol and refractory materials. After secondary calcination, the alloy liquid pouring operation is carried out. The disadvantage of this repair scheme is that after wrapping with aluminum foil paper and then using the mixed refractory mud for wrapping and sealing, after the shell undergoes secondary high-temperature calcination, the aluminum foil paper "ashes" and falls off, and the rough mixed refractory mud is exposed to the surface of the shell cavity. Both are likely to cause secondary inclusions in the shell. Setting such wax draining holes at multiple positions will greatly increase the risk of inclusions in the shell cavity. After the pouring operation, surface inclusions, internal inclusions and other defect problems are often found in the non-destructive inspection of the castings, directly resulting in the scrapping of the castings, seriously affecting the product qualification rate and causing serious waste of resources. Therefore, at present, there is an urgent need to design and develop a general, simple and effective wax draining hole and supporting sealing plug that can improve the quality of the ceramic shell.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provide a wax draining structure for improving the quality of the shell and a preparation method of the shell.
[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The sealing plug is in a U-shape. The maximum outer diameter of the top end of the sealing plug is adapted to the inner diameter of the wax draining hole, and the maximum diameter of the bottom end is larger than the outer diameter of the wax draining hole. A second cutting edge is arranged on the circumferential direction of the bottom end of the sealing plug and on one side close to the top end of the sealing plug.
[0009] During assembly, the end surface of one end of the wax discharge hole after removing the flange structure abuts against the bottom end of the sealing plug and one side close to the top end.

[0017] Step 6: After the initial product shell is dewaxed, a tool is used to break off the flange structure of the wax discharge hole along the first cutting edge and then remove it, thereby finally forming a product shell;
[0018] After the initial sealing plug shell is dewaxed, the excess shell is broken off along the second cutting edge with a tool and removed to form a sealing plug;
[0019] Step 7: calculate the processed product shell and the sealing plug, and perform shell blowing and shell washing operations on the calcified product shell. After the operation, assemble the sealing plug and the wax discharge hole of the product shell accordingly, and complete the sealing operation for subsequent casting.

[0022] Specifically, in step 7, the roasting process is as follows: first, when the furnace temperature is between room temperature and 90°C (wherein, the optional temperatures also include 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, etc.), put the product shell and the sealing plug into the furnace, and then heat it to 840-860°C (wherein, the optional temperatures also include 845°C, 850°C, 855°C, etc.) at a rate of 240°C / h and keep it warm for 2.5 hours, and finally cool it to room temperature with the furnace and take it out of the furnace for use.
[0023] Specifically, in step 7, the shell blowing and shell washing operations are as follows: first, compressed air treated by a refrigerated dryer is used to blow and clean the inner cavity of the product shell through the wax discharge hole of the product shell; then the product shell is hoisted by a crane and immersed in clean water, and moved up and down 5-10 times to clean the cavity of the product shell.
[0024] Specifically, in step 7, after the sealing plug is assembled correspondingly with the wax discharge hole of the product shell, refractory mud mixed with silica sol and refractory material is used for wrapping and sealing, silica sol: refractory material = 0.3:1, wherein the refractory material components: 80# Shangdian sand: 200# Shangdian powder = 1:1.
