Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vacuum die casting, and in particular relates to an alloy filtering device for vacuum die casting. Background Art

[0002] The vacuum die-casting process is an advanced die-casting process that places the mold into a die-casting chamber and removes the air in the chamber to form a vacuum in the die-casting mold cavity, thereby eliminating or significantly reducing the pores and dissolved gases in the die-casting part, thereby improving the mechanical properties and surface quality of the die-casting part.

[0003] See also Figure 1 In the conventional vacuum die-casting process, since some air still remains in the die-casting chamber, the contact area between the molten metal and the residual gas in the vacuum increases during the process of pouring the sprue sleeve of the mold, thereby generating metal oxide impurities that enter the mold. Figure 6 , the metal oxide impurities produced are injected into the product, thereby reducing the quality of the product. Utility Model Content
