This invention relates to the field of
casting technology for sand cores and sand shells, and particularly to a method for preparing high-
precision casting sand cores and sand shell components based on a coated sand process. The method includes the following steps: rinsing
quartz sand and reacting it with a
sodium silicate solution to obtain coated
quartz sand; adding 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and water to the coated
quartz sand in a high-speed mixer; sequentially adding modified benzoxazine resin,
calcium citrate,
magnesium chloride, hyperbranched
polyamide, and
polycaprolactone-grafted
starch to obtain finished coated sand;
plasma-treated
chromium-12
molybdenum-
vanadium mold steel to obtain an amino-modified mold; sand-jetting the finished coated sand into left / right half-shells; shaping and pre-embedding
chromite sand cores with
chills to obtain left / right half-shell green blanks; milling the surfaces of the left / right half-shell green blanks,
coating them with resin, butt-jointing, curing, and deburring to obtain the
casting sand core and sand shell. This method solves the problems of poor
mechanical strength, poor high-temperature stability, low production efficiency, and poor environmental performance in high-
precision casting sand cores and sand shells.
