Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] This application claims priority based on Chinese patent application No. "202411993089.6", filed on December 31, 2024, entitled "A graphite-based casting mold and its preparation method". All of these are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present application belongs to the field of nickel-based superalloy and titanium alloy casting, and specifically relates to a siliconized graphite material, a siliconized graphite casting mold and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0003] Nickel-based superalloy and titanium alloy have good comprehensive performance and are widely used in the fields of aviation, aerospace, ship, weapon, petrochemical industry, etc. With the rapid development of related fields, the demand for nickel-based superalloy and titanium alloy parts with complex cavities is increasing.

[0004] Casting process combines mold design and shape control technology, which can realize the overall forming of nickel-based superalloy and titanium alloy parts with complex structures. Graphite neither chemically reacts with nickel-based superalloy nor titanium alloy, and has good thermal conductivity and thermal stability, so it becomes one of the commonly used mold materials for casting. However, graphite material has poor high-temperature oxidation resistance and high brittleness. At the same time, due to the chilling effect and poor yielding of graphite, machined graphite casting mold is easy to cause many defects (such as cracks, cold shut, flow marks, etc.) on the surface of the casting, and the product quality is difficult to guarantee, which is not suitable for large-scale production of complex shape castings. For parts with complex structure and cavity, the shape control core also has a complex structure, so it is difficult to remove the traditional graphite core by conventional machining method. In addition, with the increase of the size of the casting, especially for large-scale complex thin-walled castings, the importance of gas permeability is particularly prominent. Therefore, a casting mold with excellent gas permeability is needed to ensure the smooth progress of the casting process. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a siliconized graphite material, a siliconized graphite casting mold and a preparation method thereof. The siliconized graphite material not only has good thermal stability and thermal conductivity, but also has good high-temperature oxidation resistance, good corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, excellent gas permeability and good dimensional stability.

[0006] The specific technical solutions of the present application are as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a siliconized graphite material, comprising a multi-stage porous graphite matrix and a silicon carbide layer wrapped on the surface of the multi-stage porous graphite matrix; the multi-stage porous graphite matrix has a hierarchical porous structure, the hierarchical porous structure comprises closed pores and penetrating pores, the closed pores are non-penetrating pores, the pore size of the closed pores is 0.001-0.05 mm, the penetrating pores penetrate through the multi-stage porous graphite matrix, the penetrating pores comprise first-stage penetrating pores and second-stage penetrating pores, the pore size of the first-stage penetrating pores is 0.03-0.2 mm, the pore size of the second-stage penetrating pores is 0.1-1 mm, and the silicon carbide layer is uniformly wrapped on the external surface of the multi-stage porous graphite matrix and the surface of the internal penetrating pores.

[0008] The siliconized graphite material provided by the present application provides a rich pore size by adopting a multi-stage porous graphite matrix with a pore structure of different sizes. By controlling the number and distribution area of the closed pores with a pore size of 0.001-0.05 mm, the thermal conductivity of the local area of the material can be adjusted, and then the cooling speed of the local area of the casting during casting can be controlled, the temperature field of the casting is adjusted, the thermal stress defects of the casting are reduced, and the chilling effect of the siliconized graphite material is improved. By optimizing the distribution of the closed pores, the structural strength can also be improved, and the siliconized graphite material has sufficient resistance to metal liquid impact during the casting process. At the same time, the closed pores also provide a certain compression capacity for the siliconized graphite material, providing a certain space for the internal shrinkage of the casting during the cooling and solidification process, and improving the yielding property of the siliconized graphite material. The first penetrating pores with a pore size of 0.03-0.2 mm and the second penetrating pores with a pore size of 0.1-1 mm constitute effective gas channels, so that the siliconized graphite material has excellent gas permeability, which is beneficial to the smooth discharge of a large amount of gas (such as air, steam generated by water evaporation, etc.) generated after the high-temperature metal liquid is poured into the casting. The silicon carbide layer wrapped around the multi-stage porous graphite matrix can effectively prevent the erosion of the siliconized graphite material by the oxidizing atmosphere and / or high-temperature metal liquid during the casting process, and further improve the dimensional stability and mechanical strength thereof.

[0009] Further, the second-stage penetrating pores are prepared by an additive manufacturing technology. The additive manufacturing technology can adjust the pore size and distribution in the multi-stage porous graphite matrix according to the needs of the actual application scene, and the internal pore structure can be prepared at the same time during the graphite matrix molding process by the additive manufacturing technology, avoiding the risk of low strength of the graphite mold and easy damage in the prior art.

[0010] Further, the closed pores and the penetrating pores in the multi-level porous graphite matrix adopt at least one of parallel combination, series combination, modular combination, hierarchical combination and network combination. By adopting the above combination mode, the thermal conductivity, strength and the like of the local area of the siliconized graphite material can be adjusted by adjusting the distribution of the pores, so as to meet the needs of the casting in actual application.

[0011] Further, the parallel combination, the series combination, the modular combination, the hierarchical combination and the network combination are realized by adjusting the process of additive manufacturing, and the process includes at least one of model slicing processing mode, layer thickness, filler interval, filler mode, slurry extrusion speed, slurry extrusion pressure, extrusion head size, nozzle resolution, ink droplet size, inkjet pressure, laser power, spot size, scanning speed, printing path, temperature, humidity and protective gas.

By controlling the thickness of the silicon carbide layer, the erosion of the siliconized graphite casting material by the oxidizing atmosphere and the high-temperature metal liquid in the casting process can be effectively prevented, and the dimensional stability and mechanical strength thereof are improved.
