TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of functional coating technology, in particular to a preparation method of reinforced coating for producing heat-resistant cast iron parts by lost foam casting. BACKGROUND
[0002] The lost foam casting technology is a casting method that a plastic foam model similar in size and shape to the casting is bonded and combined into a model cluster, a special coating for lost foam is brushed and dried, and then buried in dry sand and vibrated to compact the mold, a special sand box is connected to a vacuum device to extract vacuum, and the liquid metal is poured under the condition of maintaining a certain negative pressure in the casting mold, the model is gasified, the decomposition products escape through the coating / mold interface, the liquid metal occupies the position of the model, and the casting is formed after solidification and cooling. Under the action of negative pressure, the liquid metal can easily penetrate into the gap between the dry sand to form mechanical sand sticking. In order to avoid mechanical sand sticking, the surface of the lost foam pattern must be coated with a layer of refractory coating. Unlike general sand casting coating, the coating for lost foam casting is not coated on the mold cavity, but on the foam plastic. When the foam plastic model is replaced by liquid metal, the coating actually plays the role of the mold. A large amount of gas produced by thermal decomposition can only be discharged outside the mold through the gap between the dry sand. During the pouring process of the mold, this layer of refractory coating is between the metal liquid and the mold sand, and plays a very important role in the gasification of the lost foam pattern, the filling of the metal liquid and the formation of the casting.
[0003] Common cast iron and cast steel coatings are suitable for most ordinary cast iron and cast steel parts, but they have certain limitations for special materials, large size and complex shape products. For example, high chromium cast iron, heat-resistant steel, stainless steel and other castings, general coatings mostly use quartz sand as the basic aggregate, the refractoriness and chemical corrosion resistance of the coating are insufficient, and the resistance to high melting point metal liquid erosion and chemical reaction is weak; the coating layer is easily eroded and melted by the metal liquid, resulting in sand sticking and subsurface porosity on the surface of the casting. For large size castings such as heavy machine tool bed and large valve body, the coating prepared by general coating has concentrated shrinkage stress during drying, and the overall strength (room temperature strength and high temperature strength) is insufficient, the coating layer cracks during drying, and the metal liquid pressure easily breaks the cracks during pouring, causing the mold to collapse. For complex shape castings such as multi-cavity valve body and special-shaped pipe fittings, it is difficult for general coating to be uniform in deep cavity and narrow gap, and the balance between local permeability and strength is poor; the local coating layer is easily eroded by the metal liquid, and the thick coating layer is not easy to exhaust, resulting in fire choking and slag inclusion of the casting. The existing coating is difficult to adapt to the lost foam casting process under high precision, large size and high temperature environment. SUMMARY

[0091] As shown in Table 3, the refractory aggregate, modified nano silicon nitride and core-shell particles in the paint prepared by the application synergistically build an effective refractory system to isolate the metal liquid and meet the demand for corrosion resistance of heat-resistant cast iron parts. The low shrinkage property of the modified phenolic resin and the low expansion coefficient of the zirconium powder are synergistically effective, and the stress concentration is small during drying of the coating, so that there is no risk of cracking of large-size castings. The paint prepared by the application is used as a reinforcing coating to coat the surface of a foam mold, and has excellent sand sticking resistance, and the surface quality of the prepared casting is good, and the subsequent processing amount is reduced.
[0092] The above describes one embodiment of the application in detail, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the application and cannot be considered as limiting the scope of the implementation of the application. Any equivalent changes and improvements made in the scope of the application should still belong to the patent coverage of the application.
