Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnesium alloy casting, specifically to a quantitative tube calibration device for magnesium alloy casting. Background Technology

[0002] Magnesium alloys, as the most environmentally friendly lightweight material currently available, have always attracted much attention and are widely used in aerospace, electronics and communications, biomedicine, and the automotive industry. However, this development also generates a large amount of waste magnesium. The market can achieve recycling through waste magnesium remelting processes. In the waste magnesium alloy recycling and remelting process, a casting metering tube is needed to transfer molten magnesium into a mold for cooling and shaping. Currently, the metering tubes used in the market consist of an inlet tube and a return tube, not a single straight tube. When high-temperature molten magnesium alloy flows continuously into the casting metering tube, it is prone to deformation and bending, forming an "arch" shape. On the one hand, slag blockage can easily occur at the deformed and bent locations of the metering tube, requiring workers to clear the blockage and reduce production efficiency; on the other hand, deformed and bent metering tubes are basically unusable and must be scrapped, increasing production costs. In the current production process, workers use hammering to correct the "arch bridge" shaped casting metering tubes. However, manual operation cannot accurately control the force, resulting in poor uniformity of the metering tubes. This method leads to increased bending of the metering tubes, as well as increased slag blockage and scrap rates, reducing production efficiency and increasing usage costs. Utility Model Content
