Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbereiten einer Schmelze einer Legierung für einen Gießvorgang, die in einen teilerstarrten Zustand gebracht wird und über ihr Volumen verteilte Kristallisationskeime enthält.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing a melt of an alloy for a casting process which is brought into a partially solidified state and contains crystallization seeds distributed over its volume.
Das Herstellen von halberstarrter Legierungen ist beispielsweise aus einem Beitrag
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schmelze einer Legierung so aufzubereiten, dass eine möglichst feine und homogene Verteilung der Kristallisationskeime über das Volumen der Schmelze vorliegt, bevor diese in eine Gießform eingebracht wird.The object of the invention is to prepare a melt of an alloy in such a way that the distribution of the crystallization nuclei over the volume of the melt is as fine and homogeneous as possible before it is introduced into a casting mold.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass Schmelze, die eine oberhalb der Schmelztemperatur der Legierung liegende Temperatur aufweist, in einen auf eine unterhalb der Schmelztemperatur liegende Temperatur beheizten Kristallisationsbehälter gebracht wird, dass dieser Schmelze in dem Kristallisationsbehälter Legierung als Pulver zugegeben wird und dass mittels elektrischer und/oder magnetischer Kräfte Schmelze und Pulver in dem Kristallisationsbehälter miteinander vermischt werden.This object is achieved by bringing the melt, which has a temperature above the melting temperature of the alloy, into a crystallization vessel heated to a temperature below the melting temperature, adding this melt in the crystallization vessel alloy as powder, and by means of electrical and / or magnetic forces melt and powder in the crystallization vessel are mixed together.
Insbesondere die pulverförmigen Partikel der Legierung, die von der Schmelze sofort umhüllt werden, bilden Kristallisationskeime, die mittels der elektrischen und/oder magnetischen Kräfte innerhalb der Schmelze homogen verteilt werden.In particular, the pulverulent particles of the alloy, which are immediately enveloped by the melt, form crystallization nuclei, which by means of the electrical and / or magnetic forces are distributed homogeneously within the melt.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgesehen, dass die Schmelze als Strahl in den Kristallisationsbehälter eingebracht wird, der sich zwischen zwei Elektroden erstreckt, an die eine elektrische Spannung angelegt wird. Aufgrund des sogenannten Pinch-Effektes wird der Strahl verengt und zusammengepresst, der während des Einströmens schon teilweise in einzelne, flüssige Tropfen aufgespalten wird. Der Kristallisationsbehälter wird somit nicht mit einem kompakten Strahl gefüllt, sondern mit einem dispergierten Strahl. Damit erhöht sich die Fläche des Schmelzenvolumens deutlich, wobei auch eine Entgasung stattfindet.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the melt is introduced as a jet into the crystallization vessel, which extends between two electrodes, to which an electrical voltage is applied. Due to the so-called pinch effect of the jet is narrowed and compressed, which is already partially split during inflow into individual, liquid droplets. The crystallization vessel is thus not filled with a compact jet, but with a dispersed jet. Thus, the surface of the melt volume increases significantly, with a degassing takes place.
Wenn die Schmelze vollständig in den Kristallisationsbehälter eingeströmt ist, verschwindet der Schmelzenstrahl, so dass dann auch der Stromfluss unterbrochen wird. Um weiter eine Dispergierung zu erreichen und auch ein elektrisches Feld zu erzeugen, wird dann in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass nach Einbringen der Schmelze zwischen der Schmelze und einer Elektrode ein Lichtbogen gezündet wird.When the melt has completely flowed into the crystallization tank, the melt jet disappears, so that then the current flow is interrupted. In order to further achieve a dispersion and also to generate an electric field, it is then provided in a further embodiment of the invention that after introduction of the melt between the melt and an electrode, an arc is ignited.
Um weiter das Durchmischen der in dem Kristallisationsbehälter befindlichen Schmelze zu fördern und dabei die Kristallisationskeime fein zu verteilen, wird in dem Kristallisationsbehälter ein Magnetfeld gebildet. Das Magnetfeld und das elektrische Feld wirken auf die Schmelze und die darin befindlichen Partikel unterschiedlich ein, so dass der Vermischungseffekt gefördert wird.In order to further promote the mixing of the melt contained in the crystallization vessel and to thereby finely distribute the crystallization nuclei, a magnetic field is formed in the crystallization vessel. The magnetic field and the electric field act differently on the melt and the particles therein, so that the mixing effect is promoted.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgesehen, dass die Schmelze in den unter Unterdruck gesetzten Kristallisationsbehälter eingesaugt wird. Durch die Erzeugung eines Vakuums in dem Kristallisationsbehälter wird weiter erreicht, dass der einströmende Strahl aus Schmelze weiter dispergiert und sich in einzelne Tropfen auflöst. Auch damit wird die Bildung von Kristallisationskeimen gefördert.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the melt is sucked into the set under reduced pressure crystallization vessel. By creating a vacuum in the crystallization vessel is further achieved that the inflowing jet of melt further dispersed and dissolves into individual drops. This also promotes the formation of nuclei.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgesehen, dass die Schmelze unter Zufuhr von Schutzgas dem Kristallisationsbehälter zugeführt wird. Insbesondere wenn das Schutzgas unter Druck zugeführt wird, wird der Prozess weiter verbessert. Darüber hinaus verhindert das Schutzgas chemische Reaktionen der Legierung mit der Atmosphäre, was den anschließenden Gießvorgang nachteilig beeinflussen könnte.
Bei einer Vorrichtung zum Durchführen des Verfahrens wird ein Kristallisationsbehälter mit einem Einlass für die Schmelze und einem Einlass für Legierung in Pulverform vorgesehen, der eine Heizeinrichtung aufweist und der im Bereich seines Bodens und seines Einlasses mit an eine Spannungsquelle angelegten Elektroden versehen ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the melt is supplied to the crystallization vessel with the supply of inert gas. In particular, when the shielding gas is supplied under pressure, the process is further improved. In addition, the shielding gas prevents chemical reactions of the alloy with the atmosphere, which could adversely affect the subsequent casting process.
In an apparatus for carrying out the method, there is provided a crystallization vessel having a melt inlet and a powdered alloy inlet having a heater and provided with electrodes applied to a voltage source in the region of its bottom and inlet.

Der Zylinder 15 des Kristallisationsbehälters 14 ist im Bereich seines Bodens mit einer Elektrode 23 versehen. Wie schon erwähnt wurde, ist das Einlassstück 17 aus elektrisch leitendem Material. Zwischen der Elektrode 23 und dem Einlassstück 17 ist eine Spannungsquelle 24 angeordnet, deren Spannung und vor allem auch deren Stromstärke mittels einer Verstelleinrichtung 25 einstellbar ist.As the bottom of the
Dem Kristallisationsbehälter 14 ist eine vorzugsweise elektrische Heizeinrichtung 26 zugeordnet, die vorzugsweise regelbar ist und die den Kristallisationsbehälter 14 auf einer vorwählbare Temperatur aufheizt und auf dieser Temperatur hält. Des weiteren ist dem Kristallisationsbehälter 14 eine Magnetspule 27 zugeordnet, mit welcher im Innern des Zylinders 15 des Kristallisationsbehälters 14 ein Magnetfeld aufbaubar ist.The
Der Gießkanal 13 ist mit einem Absperrschieber 28 ausgerüstet, über welchen die Verbindung zwischen dem Ofen 19 und dem Kristallisationsbehälter 14 freigegeben und abgesperrt werden kann. An den Gießkanal 13 schließt eine Zuführleitung 29 an, über welche Schutzgas mit Überdruck zugeführt werden kann, beispielsweise Argon.The
Zum Aufbereiten einer Schmelze wird zunächst Schmelze 11 in den Ofen 10 eingefüllt. Der Ofen 10 wird mittels der Absaugung 12 auf ein Vakuum von 0,5mbar bis 3mbar gebracht. Der Kristallisationsbehälter 14 wird mittels der Heizeinrichtung 26 auf eine Temperatur aufgeheizt, die 3% bis 50% niedriger als die Schmelztemperatur der betreffenden Legierung ist. In dem Kristallisationsbehälter 14 wird mittels der Absaugung 19 ein Vakuum erzeugt, das stärker ist als das Vakuum in dem Ofen 10.For the preparation of a melt,
Sobald der Schieber 28 geöffnet wird, wird Schmelze 11 in den Kristallisationsbehälter 14 eingesaugt. Dabei wird Schutzgas über die Leitung 29 zugeführt. Aufgrund der Saugwirkung wird auch Legierung in Pulverform über den Einlassstutzen 20 angesaugt. Das Pulver wird in die Schmelze eingeschlossen und verteilt.As soon as the
An die Elektrode 23 und das Einlassstück 17 wird eine Spannung angelegt, so dass in dem Strahl der Schmelze ein Strom fließt, dessen Größe weniger als 10A beträgt. Um ein möglichst homogen dispergiertes Gemisch zu erhalten, wird mittels der Magnetspule 27 im Innern des Kristallisationsbehälters 14 ein Magnetfeld erzeugt, das zu einer radialen Bewegung der Schmelze führt.A voltage is applied to the
Nachdem die gesamte Schmelze in den Kristallisationsbehälter eingeströmt ist, ist zunächst der Stromkreis unterbrochen. Jetzt wird die Spannung auf Werte von 150V bis 400V erhöht, so dass ein Lichtbogen gezündet wird, in welchem ein Strom mit einer Stärke bis zu 1300A strömen kann. Um eine gerichtete Kristallisation zu vermeiden, wird das elektromagnetische Feld, das mit der Magnetspule 27 erzeugt wird, variiert und beispielsweise in Richtung der Füllung kontinuierlich erhöht.After the entire melt has flowed into the crystallization tank, the circuit is first interrupted. Now the voltage is increased to values of 150V to 400V, so that an arc is ignited, in which a current with a strength up to 1300A can flow. In order to avoid directional crystallization, the electromagnetic field generated by the
