These aluminum alloys play an important role in batteries, such as being used as battery shells and brackets. Among them, 6061 aluminum alloy and 7A04 aluminum alloy are two common aluminum alloys used in hydrogen battery stacks.

[0003] When casting aluminum alloys, attention should be paid to the casting speed, which has a direct impact on the ingot liquid cavity and temperature gradient. If the casting speed is too fast, the ingot liquid cavity and temperature gradient may increase, thereby generating large shrinkage stress at the bottom of the liquid cavity and increasing the probability of ingot thermal cracks. Therefore, the casting speed needs to be properly controlled.

[0004] The conventional casting speed of aluminum alloy mainly wastes time in the heating stage, because the casting liquid needs to have a higher temperature when entering the mold to reduce the premature solidification of the casting liquid, but the heating needs to be turned off and cooled during cooling, so repeated preheating will waste a long time. In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model proposes a hydrogen energy battery stack aluminum alloy casting mold. Utility Model Content

When the casting liquid is filled, the heat conducting plate 2 can be moved upward together with the lower mold base 1, and then the lower mold base 1 is cooled separately. During this period, the output power of the coil 5 decreases. When casting is performed again, the heat conducting plate 2 can be moved back to its original position, and before returning to its original position, the output power of the coil 5 is restored, so that the preheating plate 3 can still maintain a high temperature, thereby reducing the preheating time and solving the problem that repeated preheating will waste a long time.
