Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of investment casting, and in particular to a method for vertically placing a slender, tree-structured mold shell. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of investment casting, for castings with small part structures, a commonly used gating system is bottom pouring and / or side pouring. A simplified diagram of this gating system is shown below. Figure 1 As shown (illustrating bottom-pouring and side-pouring systems), this casting system has advantages such as stable filling and high yield. However, in actual production, due to the long, thin strip structure of the bottom plane and the presence of protruding slag-collecting cylinders, the bottom of the mold cannot be placed stably, causing many problems in the actual production and use of this casting system. 1. During the process of transferring the mold shell from the preheating furnace to the casting furnace after preheating by placing it upside down, the employees need to flip the mold shell, which increases the risk of mold shell damage and also affects the safety of the operators. 2. During the process of placing the mold shell in the casting furnace, special tooling fixtures are required for fixation, which results in high production costs; 3. The clamping and disassembly of the mold shell on special tooling or fixtures require a certain amount of time, which increases the exposure time of the mold shell to air, resulting in poor process stability during the casting process and greatly affecting the stability of product quality.
[0003] Due to the different tree assembly methods, in order to ensure the good function of the blades and the integrity of the mold filling, some blades cannot be supported independently. As a result, it is not easy to accurately transfer and position the mold shell during transportation and subsequent firing and casting, which can easily lead to mold shell damage; affect personnel safety; cause tipping and tilting during casting; and make it impossible to place stably after casting.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can achieve the upright placement of slender tree-structure mold shells, and ensure the accuracy of the mold shell placement during the firing and casting process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a method for vertically placing a slender tree-structure mold shell. By adding foot supports, the accuracy of the mold shell's placement during the baking and pouring process and the stability of the mold shell's placement during the pouring of the alloy liquid are achieved.
[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: This invention provides a method for vertically placing a slender, tree-structured mold shell. The method achieves vertical placement of the mold shell by adding foot supports (without changing the original tree structure of the slender product). The foot supports are non-through (i.e., the foot supports do not damage the original tree structure of the slender product and are connected to the outer surface of the shell). The preparation process of the foot supports is synchronized with the shell-making process. The foot supports are prepared simultaneously during the shell-making stage, and the prepared foot supports are high-strength supports.
[0007] Furthermore, the method includes the following steps: S1. Immerse the wax model of the tree into the surface slurry, apply the surface slurry, then apply sand and dry it to form a surface shell to obtain model A. S2. The module A obtained in step S1 is subjected to multiple back layer shell making processes to obtain module Bn. The module Bn includes a mold shell and a group tree wax mold set inside the mold shell. Each time the back layer shell is made, the previous module is immersed in the back layer slurry, picks up the back layer slurry, and then is sanded and dried. S3. The original foot support made by attaching wax rods to the bottom of the mold shell of module Bn obtained in step S2, wherein the length of the original foot support is longer than the length of the target foot support, thus obtaining a module with an increased original foot support; S4. Perform back layer shelling multiple times on the original support in the module with added original support obtained in step S3 to obtain the module with added original support after shelling. Each time the back layer shelling is performed, the previous module is immersed in the back layer slurry, and then the back layer slurry is applied and dried. S5. Immerse the module with added original feet after shelling obtained in step S4 into the sealing layer slurry, apply the sealing layer slurry, and then dry it to obtain the sealed module. S6. Cut off the part of the leg support in the sealed module obtained in step S5 that is longer than the target leg support, put it into the dewaxing kettle for dewaxing treatment, and obtain the dewaxed leg support and the dewaxed module. S7. Fill the bottom opening of the dewaxed module obtained in step S6 with filling grout, fill the hollow pipe of the module, and then dry and cure to obtain the grouted module of the module. S8. The grouting module obtained in step S7 is sintered to obtain a sintered module. The legs in the sintered module are used for the upright placement of the mold shell, and the mold shell is a slender tree structure.
[0008] Furthermore, step S1 specifically includes the following process: S1-1. Immerse the tree wax model into the surface slurry and rotate it slowly to ensure that the surface of the tree wax model is fully coated with the surface slurry. After taking it out, rotate it slowly to let the excess surface slurry on the surface of the tree wax model flow away, so that the surface of the tree wax model is evenly coated with one layer of surface slurry. S1-2. Place the wax mold assembly with the surface slurry on it in the electrofused alumina sandblasting machine so that the surface of the assembly is fully coated with electrofused alumina sand. S1-3. After the sand coating is completed, place the wax model assembly in the surface drying area for drying to obtain assembly A.
[0009] Furthermore, in steps S1-2, the fused alumina abrasive is 100-120 mesh.
[0010] Furthermore, in steps S1-3, the drying conditions are: temperature at 21-25℃, humidity at 40%-60%, and drying time of 6-8 hours.
[0011] Further, in step S2, the back layer shell fabrication includes the following process: Immerse module A or the previous module in the backing slurry and rotate it slowly to ensure that the surface of module A or the previous module is fully coated with the backing slurry. After taking it out, rotate it slowly to let the excess backing slurry on the surface of module A or the previous module flow away, so that the surface of module A or the previous module is evenly coated with one layer of backing slurry. Place the wax mold assembly coated with the back layer slurry into the electrofused corundum sandblasting machine so that the surface of the assembly is fully coated with electrofused corundum sand. After the sandblasting process, the wax mold assembly is placed in the back drying area for drying.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S2, the back layer shell is formed 3 to 4 times.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S2, the mesh size of the sand used in the first back layer shell preparation process is less than the mesh size of the sand used in the top layer shell preparation process in step S1.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, the mesh size of the sand used in the subsequent backing shell preparation process is less than or equal to the mesh size of the sand used in the subsequent backing shell preparation process in step S2.
[0015] Furthermore, the mesh size of the sand used in the final back-layer shell preparation process in step S2 is equal to the mesh size of the sand used in the back-layer shell preparation process in step S4.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, red wax is used to adhere the wax stick.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S3, the wax rod is a pouring wax.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S3, the length of the original foot support is 5-10 mm longer than the length of the target foot support.
[0019] Further, in step S4, the back layer shell fabrication includes the following process: Immerse the module with the original support or the previous module into the backing slurry and rotate it slowly to ensure that the surface of the module with the original support or the previous module is fully coated with the backing slurry. After taking it out, rotate it slowly to let the excess backing slurry on the surface of the module with the original support or the previous module flow away, so that the surface of the module with the original support or the previous module is evenly coated with one layer of backing slurry. Place the wax mold assembly coated with the back layer slurry into the electrofused corundum sandblasting machine so that the surface of the assembly is fully coated with electrofused corundum sand. After the sandblasting process, the wax mold assembly is placed in the back drying area for drying.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, at least four back-layer shell fabrication processes are performed.
[0021] More preferably, in step S4, the back layer shell is formed 5 to 6 times.
[0022] Furthermore, the raw materials of the surface slurry include nano-silica sol, polymer and zircon powder, wherein the powder-to-liquid ratio of nano-silica sol, polymer and zircon powder is approximately 1:0.04-0.12:3.8-4.5.
[0023] Furthermore, the raw materials of the backing slurry include nano-silica sol, polymer, and zircon powder, wherein the powder-to-liquid ratio of nano-silica sol, polymer, and zircon powder is approximately 1:0.04-0.12:2.8-3.5.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S5, the sealing layer slurry includes nano-silica sol and zircon powder, and the powder-to-liquid ratio of the nano-silica sol and zircon powder is 1:1.8-2.0.
[0025] Further, in step S7, the filling slurry is a mixture of slurry and fused alumina sand in a mass ratio of 2:1, and the raw materials of the base slurry include nano silica sol, zircon powder, wetting agent, defoamer and bactericide.
[0026] Furthermore, the base slurry is a slurry that is prepared and used within 1 hour.
[0027] Further, the preparation of the base slurry includes the following steps: first, zircon powder is added to the nano-silica sol and stirred; then, a wetting agent, an antifoaming agent, and a bactericide are added sequentially to obtain the base slurry. The base slurry is best prepared and used immediately; it cannot be used after 1 hour. Further, in step S5, the drying conditions are as follows: drying is carried out in the back layer drying area using a strong airflow method, with the wind speed controlled at 4-8 m / s, the ambient temperature at 21-25℃, and the humidity at <30%, for 20 hours.
[0028] Furthermore, in step S7, the drying and curing conditions are: standing still for 2-3 hours, drying environment humidity of 40-60%, and temperature of 20-25℃.
[0029] Furthermore, in step S8, the sintering is carried out in a gas-fired sintering furnace.
[0030] Furthermore, in step S8, the sintering conditions are to slowly heat to 850-900°C and then cool with the furnace.
