Part ultrasonic wave added semisolid pressure casting molding machine and method.
Background technique
In recent years, with the fast development of information technology and communication industry, complex thin-wall class aluminium alloy castings are logical in electronics
There is widespread demand in news industry, such as: phone housing, LED lamp heat sink, communication base station shell etc., as shown in Figure 1.Such
Part usually has a complicated cavity structure and thin-walled feature, wall thickness usually < 4.0mm, regional area wall thickness < 0.5mm.In addition,
Such aluminium alloy castings is often made of multiple big planes or curved surface, is difficult to using traditional casting forming or machining mode
It realizes.
Currently, the common manufacturing process of thin wall aluminium alloy castings is usual pressure casting.Usual pressure casting technique exists
Occupy leading position in aluminium alloy castings production, accounts for about the 60% of aluminium alloy castings total amount, which can also be used for part thin-walled
The figuration manufacture of casting.However, on the basis of strict control die-casting process, the die casting finished product of thin wall aluminium alloy castings at present
Rate is about 80%, and common deficiency includes owing casting, turning cracking, tissue looseness, cold shut and decorative pattern etc., these defects cause largely
The wasting of resources and economic loss.Due to the limitation of the defect and die-casting process that are also easy to produce in thin wall casting,
Usual pressure casting technique is difficult to meet the manufacture processing of feature wall thickness < 1.0mm complex thin-wall class aluminium alloy castings.

Become two kinds of techniques of shape.It is higher that there is semisolid metal blank certain solid-to-liquid ratio to compare viscosity with liquid metal, and when forming can
The problems such as avoiding splash, turbulent flow and volume gas, drip molding are better than liquid cast properties;It is compared with solid forging, low resistance of deformation
Make to be more likely formed minutiae structure with good mobility, and shaping load is lower.And traditional forming technology phase therefore,
Than, the advantages of Semi-Solid Metals Forming preferably combines solid die forging and liquid die casting, can be mass it is complex-shaped,
High-performance and high-precision miniature components.
During Semi-Solid Metals Forming, metal material flow stress is not only directly affected by solid rate, also by
To significantly affecting for solid agglomerate degree.When solid agglomerate degree is higher, semi-solid-state metal apparent viscosity and stream will be significantly improved
Dynamic stress limits further answering for aluminium alloy semi-solid die-casting technique to reduce it for the filling capacity of thin wall type chamber
With and promote.
