Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for low pressure casting of metal melts with a Vergiessofen, a feed channel for the melt, a channel in the direction of the mold and a supply to the gaseous pressurization.
- the melt In low-pressure casting, the melt is conveyed through a riser against gravity into a casting cavity by gaseous pressurization of the metallic melt in an oven.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Niederdruckgiessen von Metallschmelzen mit einem Vergiessofen, einem Zuführkanal für die Schmelze, einem Kanal in Richtung zur Giessform und einer Zuführung zur gasförmigen Druckbeaufschlagung.The invention relates to a device for low pressure casting of metal melts with a Vergiessofen, a feed channel for the melt, a channel in the direction of the mold and a supply to the gaseous pressurization.
Beim Niederdruckgiessen wird durch eine gasförmige Druckbeaufschlagung der metallischen Schmelze in einem Ofen die Schmelze über ein Steigrohr entgegen der Schwerkraft in einen Giesshohlraum gefördert.In low-pressure casting, the melt is conveyed through a riser against gravity into a casting cavity by gaseous pressurization of the metallic melt in an oven.
Schmelzen, die aus Gründen der Keimbildung vor dem Vergiessen Zuschlagstoffe oder Impfmittel erhalten, werden beim Giessen mittels Schwerkraft vor dem Eintritt in die Form im Giessstrahl, in der Giesspfanne und/oder in der Form selbst behandelt.Melting, which receives aggregates or inoculants for reasons of nucleation before casting, are treated by gravity prior to entry into the mold in the pouring stream, in the ladle and / or in the mold itself by gravity.
Nach dem Stand der Technik können beim Niederdruckgiessen stückige Impfmiftel im Bereich des Formeneingusses eingelegt werden, um während der Formfüllung in Lösung zu gehen. Der damit häufig verbundene Nachteil besteht insbesondere darin, dass keine zufriedenstellende Verteilung des Impfmittels in der Metallschmelze in der Giessform erfolgt. Unterschiedliche Konzentrationen des Impfmittels in der Schmelze können zu erheblichen Abweichungen der gewünschten Eigenschaften führen der Gussstücke führen. Diese bekannte Technik erfordert eine sorgfältige Einstellung der Zusammensetzung und des Lösungsverhaltens des Impfmittels.According to the prior art lumpy Impfmiftel can be inserted in the region of the mold inlet during low pressure casting to go into solution during mold filling. The disadvantage often associated with this is in particular that there is no satisfactory distribution of the inoculant in the molten metal in the casting mold. Different concentrations of the inoculant in the melt can lead to significant variations in the desired properties of the castings. This known technique requires careful adjustment of the composition and solution behavior of the inoculant.
Um diese Nachteile zu minimieren besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Niederdruckgiessen so anzuwenden, dass die Schmelze in einem Zwischenbehälter, vor der eigentlichen Formfüllung, bereits mit einer gleichmässig verteilten Impfmittelmenge vorliegt.To minimize these disadvantages, the object of the invention is to apply a device and a method for low-pressure casting so that the melt in an intermediate container, before the actual mold filling, already present with a uniformly distributed Impfmittelmenge.
Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass zwischen der Giessform und dem Kanal ein Zwischenbehälter angeordnet ist, wobei in dem Zwischenbehälter ein Zugang für die Zugabe eines Impfmittels vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that an intermediate container is arranged between the casting mold and the channel, wherein an access for the addition of an inoculating agent is provided in the intermediate container.
Durch die Möglichkeit eines separaten Zugangs für die Zugabe eines Impfmittels in einen Zwischenbehälter zwischen dem Vergiessofen und der Giessform wird eine einfache Möglichkeit geboten, eine genau eingestellte Impfmittelmenge zum gewünschten Zeitpunkt zuzuführen.The possibility of a separate access for the addition of an inoculant in an intermediate container between the Vergiessofen and the mold is a offered a simple opportunity to deliver a precisely set amount of vaccine at the desired time.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Zwischenbehälter im Innern eine Überlaufwand auf. In vorteilhafter Weise hat es sich gezeigt, dass bei Eingabe des Impfmittels vor der Zwischenwand eine optimale Verteilung des Impfmittels in der Schmelze insbesondere durch die Strömung erreicht wird.According to a preferred embodiment, the intermediate container has an overflow wall in the interior. Advantageously, it has been found that when the inoculant is introduced in front of the intermediate wall, an optimal distribution of the inoculant in the melt is achieved, in particular by the flow.
Weitere mögliche Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further possible embodiments are described in the subclaims.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment is shown in the drawing.
Die
Der Vergiessofen 1 weist einen Zuführkanal 2 für die Befüllung mit Metallschmelze 3 auf. Der Zuführkanal 2 ist mit einem Deckel 14 verschliessbar. Am Vergiessofen 1 ist zur Beaufschlagung der Schmelze mit Gasdruck eine Zuführung 6 vorgesehen. Weiterhin ist an dem Vergiessofen 1 ein Kanal 4 angebracht, an dem sich direkt der Zwischenbehälter 7 anschliesst. Oberhalb des Zwischenbehälters 7 ist die Giessform 5 angeordnet, die mit dem Steigrohr 13 über die Öffnung 11 mit dem Zwischenbehälter 7 verbunden ist. An den Zugang 8 im Zwischenbehälter 7 ist ein rohrförmiger Ansatz 15 zur Zugabe des Impfmittels 9 angebracht. Im Innern des Zwischenbehälters 7 ist eine Überlaufwand 10 für die Schmelze 3 vorgesehen, die kurz hinter dem Ende des Kanals 4 angeordnet ist.The
Der Giessvorgang läuft wie folgt ab:The casting process is as follows:
Zunächst wird der Vergiessofen 1 über den Zuführkanal 2 mit Metallschmelze 3 befüllt. Nach dem Befüllen des Vergiessofens 1 wird der Zuführkanal 2 mittels eines Deckels 14 gasdicht verschlossen. Die Drücke p1, p2 und p3 entsprechen dem Atmosphärendruck. Zum Eisentransport in den Zwischenbehälter wird die Kammer 16 mit einem gasförmigen Medium druckbeaufschlagt. Der Druck p1 ist grösser als die Drücke p2 und p3. Die Schmelze beginnt über den Kanal 4 und die Überlaufwand 10 in den Zwischenbehälter 7 zu fliessen. Gleichzeitig wird über den rohrförmigen Ansatz 15 das Impfmittel 9 zugegeben. In der
Nach der Formfüllung wird p2 soweit abgesenkt, dass die ausserhalb der Giessform befindliche Schmelze zurück in den Zwischenbehälter 7 fliessen kann.After filling the mold, p2 is lowered so far that the melt located outside the casting mold can flow back into the
