Precision-investment casting filler mould material
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of precision-investment casting with filler mould material, be applicable to the ornaments Melt casting that large thin-wall Melt casting and Surface Quality are had relatively high expectations.
Background technology
Precision-investment casting is called again lost wax process, its processing step is to produce the apperance that will cast implements with wax material, prepare wax-pattern in apperance welding gating system, then cover with refractory paint at wax-pattern, wait the refractory paint drying to solidify after, carry out the demoulding, wax-pattern all melts loss, and only surplus shell pours into molten metal from the sprue gate again, remove the refractory paint shell after the cooling, just obtain required metal founding.
The product size of precision-investment casting is accurate, close to the last shape of part, without processing or only just can directly using through a small amount of processing.The developing direction of modern investment casting is large-scale, thin-walled, complexity, precision: modern Aviation and war products are main force's directions of precision-investment casting, and the characteristics of its product are thin-walled and complexity; Ornaments are Surface Quality and dimension precision requirement harshness then.Precision-investment casting can be competent at the performance requriements of other the inaccessiable above-mentioned several series products of working method as the castmethod of near-net-shape, day by day shows its irreplaceable importance.
The dimensional precision level of Melt casting mainly is subjected to three factor affecting: the solidification shrinkage of first metal, and it two is expanding with heat and contract with cold of formwork, it three is that the fusible pattern self character causes casting dimension to change.The former two can accurately quantize substantially, and therefore, fusible pattern itself is the key factor that the mould material then becomes affects the Melt casting dimensional precision; On the other hand, mould material surface quality directly affects the formwork quality, and then affects the surface quality of foundry goods.Therefore, want to obtain up-to-standard Melt casting, its mould material must possess following main characteristic:
(1) fusing point is moderate, and good flowability is arranged after the cast, in order to be full of smoothly the die mould die cavity, and the apperance that the shaping outside surface is complete, and when the demoulding, can flow out smoothly model;
(2) lower shrink/expanded rate, the mould material is when temperature changes, and dimensional change should be as far as possible little, and to guarantee the formed precision of apperance, the assurance formwork is not out of shape because of the swollen type of mould material or splits;
(3) suitable strength and stability can at a certain temperature, keep the stable of shape and size in moulding process and after the moulding;
(4) good being coated with property can be coated with binding agent and hanging sand well at the outside surface of mould material, forms the intact formwork of reliable in quality;
(5) lower ash content, the ash content after the roasting of mould material should be as much as possible little, just can make the interior residual ash content of die cavity few, improves the surface quality of product.
Chinese patent CN1103352C has announced a kind of ultra-fine mould material for lost wax process of adornment.This mould material comprises paraffin 34-50%, other wax 18-32%, modified rosin resin 15-33%, high molecular polymer 6-12%, solubility promoter 0.5-1%.Mould material intensity is 7-9MPa, and linear shrinkage ratio is 1.2%.
Chinese patent CN1325566C has announced a kind of precision casting mould material.This mould material comprises 20-70% paraffin, 20-70% petroleum resin, 1-8% high molecular polymer, 1-15% mineral wax, animal wax and vegetable wax.Mould material main performance index is: intensity is 7-10MPa, and linear shrinkage ratio is 0.5-0.7%, and ash content is less than 0.02%.
Chinese patent CN101074320B has announced a kind of precisive ornament casting moulding material.This mould material comprises 20-60% hydrogenation Microcrystalline Wax, 10-40% paraffin, 20-60% petroleum resin, 1-8% high molecular polymer, 1-15% mineral wax, animal wax and vegetable wax.Mould material main performance index is: intensity is 7-10MPa, and linear shrinkage ratio is 0.4-0.6%, and ash content is less than 0.02%.
The mould material performance that Chinese patent CN101074320B announces improves than CN1325566C and CN1103352C, but in general, the linear shrinkage ratio of these mould material and ash content are still located higher level, are difficult to satisfy precise thin-wall or ornaments foundry goods to dimensional precision and the more and more higher requirement of surface quality.
The mould material that above-mentioned Chinese patent is announced mainly is cerul and rosin basic mode material, in order to satisfy the requirement of mould material low-shrinkage, usually adds filler in the fusible pattern wax material, changes the dimensional change that causes because of room temperature to reduce the mould material.
Precision-investment casting mainly contains three classes with filler mould material: one is the air filler, adopt alr mode in the mould material introducing air as filler, but the molten temperature region of the larger mould material of air capacity of introducing is larger, the fusible pattern surface quality is poorer, when the inclusion of air amount surpasses 25%, even produce local contracting hole; It two is water soluble fillers, and such filling adding amount surpasses 8%, and filler can be dissolved by the water in the coating during shell processed, causes cast(ing) surface coarse, and this filler can be all soluble in water not recyclable when dewaxing, causes waste and the water pollution of material; It three is pressed powder fillers, and such filler can obtain best technological effect.The document that below is pressed powder mould material is taken passages:
US4411075 (1979) has announced a kind of urotropin (HMTA) as the precision-investment casting mould material of filler, also comprises the vegetable wax (carnauba wax and gama wax) of 0-15%, the 20-60% petroleum wax.
