Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of precision casting, and particularly to a method for high-precision control of stainless steel castings. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of stainless steel castings, shrinkage cavities and sand holes and other porosity defects are key factors affecting the quality of castings. These defects not only reduce the structural strength of the castings, but also cause cracks or fractures in the castings during use, thus seriously affecting their service life and safety. Therefore, predicting and controlling shrinkage cavities and sand hole porosity defects is an important means to improve the precision of stainless steel castings.
[0003] A shrinkage cavity refers to a spherical or elliptical pit formed inside the casting due to volume shrinkage during the solidification of stainless steel. This defect usually occurs in the last solidified area of the casting, especially in parts with a large wall thickness or poor heat dissipation conditions. The formation of shrinkage cavities is closely related to insufficient feeding of the molten metal. When the casting solidifies, the liquid metal cannot be fully replenished to the solidified area, resulting in the formation of cavities.
[0004] A sand hole refers to a depression or hole on the surface or inside of the casting, mainly caused by reasons such as sand core shrinkage marks and poor gas discharge. During the casting process, if the molding sand contains gas-generating substances, or the gas cannot be discharged in time before the molten metal enters the cavity, sand holes may be formed. In addition, insufficient strength or damage of the sand core will also cause the molten metal to penetrate into the sand core, forming sand eyes. Summary of the Invention

This composite purification technology can give full play to the advantages of the two technologies. The ceramic filter intercepts larger inclusions through its pore structure, while electromagnetic stirring makes fine inclusions migrate and separate through the generated electromagnetic force. Finally, the inclusion content in the molten steel is lower than 0.008%. The casting formed during the solidification of the metal solution purified by this method has a more uniform and fine internal structure and a more dense grain structure, which helps to improve the tensile strength, yield strength and toughness of the casting, enabling it to withstand greater loads and stresses.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , a high-precision control method for stainless steel castings, comprising the following steps:
[0032] Step 1. Raw material control: Prepare raw materials, record the component characteristics of the raw materials, and design the raw material formula ratio;
[0033] Step 2. Design the pouring process and control system: Design the pouring process, and at the same time set up a parameter control system for each link of pouring;
[0034] Step 3. Mold parameter control: Design and manufacture the mold according to the shape of the required stainless steel casting, control the mold quality, and record the mold design parameters;
[0035] Step 4. Simulation of the casting solidification process and defect prediction: Establish a simulation model of the stainless steel casting solidification process based on the raw material composition characteristics, raw material formula ratio, designed gating system, and mold design parameters. Simulate the casting solidification process in the model to predict the defect areas during the casting production process;
[0036] Step 5. Casting production process: According to the predicted defect areas during the casting production process, take preventive and optimization measures in advance for the defect areas to avoid shrinkage cavities and sand hole porosity defects;
[0037] Step 6. Refining and degassing: During the casting process, strengthen the refining and degassing operations;
[0038] Step 7. Metal solution purification: After refining and degassing, further implement the metal solution purification step;
[0039] Step 8. Maintenance and servicing of the mold: After the casting is formed and cooled for 3 - 5 hours, after the casting is demolded, clean, inspect, and maintain the mold in a timely manner.
[0040] Specifically, the raw material formula of the stainless steel casting is: 60 - 72 parts by mass of carbon steel; 8 - 10 parts by mass of chromium; 5 - 7 parts by mass of nickel; 1 - 3 parts by mass of copper; 0.009 - 0.02 parts by mass of titanium; 1.5 - 2.3 parts by mass of silica powder.
[0041] Specifically, the gating system design in Step 2 includes: According to the shape, size, and wall thickness of the required stainless steel casting, plan the gating layout and pouring speed curve, and set up a parameter control system at each link of the casting to monitor the pouring temperature, pressure, and flow rate parameters in real time. When the monitored parameters deviate from the preset range, it can immediately adjust automatically or issue an alarm to ensure the stability and controllability of the pouring process. Through sensor technology and automation control software, realize the intelligent management of the pouring process.
[0042] Specifically, the mold design parameters in Step 3 include: parting surface position, draft angle, and cooling water channel layout, providing a basis for subsequent mold maintenance, improvement, and quality traceability.
[0043] Specifically, the model in Step 4 includes: simulating the effects of heat conduction, convection, and latent heat release during solidification on the solidification process of the casting to predict the defective areas during the casting production process. At the same time, considering the effects of raw material composition characteristics, raw material formula ratios, designed pouring processes, and mold design parameters, it is used to judge the positions and severity of shrinkage cavities and sand hole looseness in the existing preparation process, providing an intuitive visual reference for process optimization in advance.
[0044] Specifically, the casting production process in Step 5 is as follows: After adding carbon steel, chromium, nickel, copper, titanium, and silicon powder in the raw material formula to the melting furnace, initially control the melting temperature between 1400 - 1500 °C. Then, combined with the positions of shrinkage cavities predicted in Step 4 during the casting production process, adjust the feeding channel of the gating system to be between 10 - 25 mm, increase the riser size to be between 50 - 100 mm, or add chill blocks to adjust the temperature field distribution of the casting, so that the finally controlled melting temperature is between 1500 - 1600 °C. After melting is completed, prepare for ladle vacuum to avoid the problems of shrinkage cavities and sand hole looseness defects. At the same time, during the production process, operate according to the established process specifications in Step 2 to ensure the stability of parameters in each link, monitor the forming quality of the casting in real time, and finally enter the ladle link.
[0045] Specifically, the refining and degassing process in Step 6 is as follows: Vacuum-treat the ladle, then purge the ladle with nitrogen with a content of more than 99%. Control the ladle vacuum degree between 15 - 30 Pa, control the gas flow rate between 10 - 15 m 3 / h, and control the purging time between 30 - 45 min to effectively remove hydrogen and oxygen dissolved gases in the molten metal, further reduce the formation of pores, improve the density and strength of the casting. The composition changes of the molten metal are monitored throughout the refining process to ensure that the refining effect reaches the expected goal.
[0046] Specifically, the purification process of the metal solution in Step 7 is as follows: After refining and degassing, the ceramic filtration technology is combined with the electromagnetic stirring technology to further implement the metal solution purification step. The non-metallic inclusions in the metal solution are removed through the pore structure of the ceramic filter to improve the purity of the solution. The pore size parameter of the ceramic filter is optimized to be 10 - 15 μm (the pore size determines the interception ability of the filter for inclusions. A smaller pore size can effectively remove finer inclusions, but too small a pore size will also increase the filtration resistance. Therefore, a balance needs to be found between the filtration effect and the filtration resistance. The increase in the number of layers can improve the filtration efficiency, but it will also increase the filtration resistance and cost. The number of layers needs to be reasonably selected according to the actual production requirements), the number of layers parameter is 4 - 6 layers, and the optimized pore size and number of layers parameters are input into the ceramic filter control interface (to ensure that the filter can operate according to the set parameters in actual operation, so as to achieve the best filtration effect). The metal solution is passed through the ceramic filter (when the metal solution is passed through the ceramic filter, the non-metallic inclusions in the solution will be intercepted by the pore structure of the filter, thus achieving purification. During the filtration process, the flow rate of the solution needs to be controlled. Too fast a flow rate may cause the inclusions to penetrate the filter and reduce the purification effect). During the filtration of the metal solution, the frequency parameter of the electromagnetic stirring is set to 50 - 100 Hz, and the intensity parameter is 0.5 - 1.5 T (the increase in frequency can increase the number of times of the electromagnetic force action, which is helpful for the migration and separation of inclusions. The increase in intensity can enhance the electromagnetic force and more effectively promote the migration of inclusions). The molten steel is filtered while being stirred. Finally, when the inclusion content of the molten steel is lower than 0.008%, it enters the mold for forming;
[0047] The advantages are as follows: In actual operation, the ceramic filter is combined with the electromagnetic stirring technology. First, most of the non-metallic inclusions are removed through the ceramic filter, and then the electromagnetic stirring is used to further remove the fine inclusions. This composite purification technology can give full play to the advantages of the two methods, improve the purification efficiency and effect, and finally intercept the micro-inclusions to the greatest extent, laying a foundation for obtaining high-quality castings. The purified metal solution needs to be sampled and tested to ensure that the inclusion content is lower than 0.008% and meets the specified standards.
[0048] Specifically, for the maintenance and upkeep of the mold in Step 8: After the casting is formed and cooled for 3 - 5 h, after the casting is demolded, the mold is cleaned, inspected, and maintained to remove the residual casting materials, oxides and other impurities on the mold surface, check the wear condition of the mold, especially the key mating parts and the forming surface, repair and polish the worn parts to ensure that the mold can still maintain high precision and good demolding performance in the next production cycle, and perform anti-rust treatment on the mold regularly to extend the service life of the mold and reduce the production cost.
[0049] Specifically, the finished product dimensional tolerance of the stainless steel casting is controlled within ±0.08 mm, and the surface roughness is controlled within Ra0.65 μm.

[0117] The comparative analysis between the examples and the comparative examples is as follows:
[0118] Raw material formula: In the raw material formulas of Examples 1-3 of the present invention, the proportions of carbon steel, chromium, nickel, copper, titanium and silicon powder are relatively high and more precise, which can better meet the performance requirements of stainless steel castings. However, the formula proportions of the traditional invention are lower and less precise, which will lead to unstable casting performance.
[0119] Parameter control in the preparation process: The feeding channels and riser sizes of the present invention are larger, which can more effectively compensate for the shrinkage of the casting during solidification and reduce the occurrence of shrinkage cavity defects. However, the sizes of the traditional invention are smaller and the feeding effect is poor; the melting temperature of the present invention is controlled between 1500-1600 °C, which is conducive to the full melting of the metal solution and the homogenization of the composition. However, the temperature of the traditional invention is lower, which will lead to insufficient melting and affect the quality of the casting; the vacuum degree of the present invention is controlled between 15-30 Pa, which can more effectively remove the gas in the metal solution and reduce the porosity defects. However, the vacuum degree of the traditional invention is higher and the degassing effect is poor; the present invention adopts a composite purification technology combining a ceramic filter and electromagnetic stirring, which can more thoroughly remove the inclusions in the metal solution and improve the purity of the solution. However, the purification measures of the traditional invention are single and the purification effect is poor.
[0120] Due to the above raw material formula and parameter control in the preparation process, the final finished product size tolerance and surface roughness of the present invention are controlled more strictly and can meet higher precision requirements. However, the raw material formula and parameter control in the preparation process of the traditional invention are not precise enough, resulting in larger tolerances and roughness, thus reducing the casting precision.
