Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for producing castings of Al or its alloys according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • One (or more) main tube (s) of aluminum or one of its alloys previously shaped (s) and optionally provided with one or more several nozzles are (are) placed in the mold, in a determined position, the open ends of the tubes being able to correspond with the outside of the mold, either through the latter or through cores; closed ends can be embedded in the room.
  • the positioning of the tube (or of the tube system) in the mold ensures its centering in relation to its reference position, offers the possibility of axial expansion of the tubes and their rotation blocking.
  • the alloy of the part is then poured into the cavity of the mold after closing it; to drown the tube or tube system.
  • the penetration depth of a nozzle in the main tube is of the order of 1 mm relative to its internal surface. This positioning is fixed by the Position of the collar in case a) or by external longitudinal grooving by pushing back the end of the adjustment in case b). In the latter case, the extra thicknesses obtained on the diameter then ensure lateral tightening and the end beads of the grooves ensure the axial positioning of the fitting on the tube.
  • the positioning of the tube (or the tube system) in the mold is for example carried out by a 90 ° elbow, external to the useful part of the molded part and inserted in a core adjacent to the mold with a clearance of the order of 1 to 2 mm, for an overall length of approximately 50 cm.
  • the other end of the tube is inserted into a cylindrical housing core allowing free axial expansion of the tube but also ensuring perfect centering of the tube system in the mold.
  • the mold itself is made either of sand, or of metal, or mixed, under the usual conditions for the casting of aluminum alloys.
  • the alloys usually used are AS7G or AS5U3G in states Y20,23 or Y30, 33 according to the AFNOR standard NF-A-57702.
  • the center-to-center dimensions of the nozzles will be corrected, in relation to the desired dimensions, by a coefficient taking into account the deformations of the main tube during casting and the solidification of the part: namely elongation under the effect of the heat of the liquid metal and shrinkage when the part solidifies.
  • the casting temperature of the part is the lowest temperature allowing the good coming of the part and the non-melting of the tube.
  • the casting temperature is less than or equal to 760 ° C and preferably between 720 ° C and 740 ° C.
  • the usual internal diameters of the tubes used are generally between 3 and 15 mm.
  • the contact time between the tube system and the molten metal must be less than 10 seconds, and preferably 5 seconds.
  • the tube (or tube system) can also be cooled during the casting operation by the circulation of a cooling fluid, such as compressed air or liquid nitrogen vapor. .
  • a cooling fluid such as compressed air or liquid nitrogen vapor.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 reproducing the conditions for casting a part of the cylinder head.
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a tube and its tappings in place in a casting mold, in elevation (1A) along line II-II of fig.1B and in plan (1B) along line II of fig. 1A.
  • Figure 2 shows in section the detail of the junction of a tapping on the main tube using a shaped and glued flange (fig.2A to 2D) at different stages of shaping.
  • Figure 3 shows the detail of the junction of a nozzle on the main tube by press fitting, Figure 3A being an elevation view of a nozzle, fig.3B an end view and fig.3C, a axial section of the force fitting obtained.
  • the nozzles are provided with a collar 7, shaped and glued to the main tube 1 using a cyanoacrylic adhesive 10 (Black Max from the company "LOCTITE").
  • the main tube 1 has an end bend 8 placed in the part 9 of the mold 3, with a clearance 12 of between 1 and 2 mm, which makes it possible to precisely position the tube (1) provided with its tappings in the mold 3
  • the other flattened end 13 of the tube 1, 50 cm long, is straight and can slide in the part 10 of the mold 3 (free thermal expansion towards the outside of the mold).
  • the flanges are obtained by axial crushing of the tube 2 constituting the nozzles (fig.2A, B and C) and after shaping, these are glued to the tube 1 (fig.2D).
  • the penetration of the nozzle into the tube takes place over a length 1 of the order of mm.
  • an AS5U3G alloy is poured into the cavity 11 at a temperature of 730 ° C. and at a speed of 120 l / minute.
  • the part with its integrated channel system is removed from the mold, which is then rid of unnecessary excess lengths, 8 and 13, for example.
  • the tube is then chamfered over a length b of the order of mm, then force-fitted into the opening 23 of the tube 1 until the beads 22 serving as a stop provide the desired depth of penetration 1.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain parts having a system of internal channels which can have a complex design, without resorting to precise and long machining on specialized machines, and without having to plug the outputs of the machined channels which are unnecessary in service and simply required by the drilling steps.
