Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent the degradation in quality and to simultaneously pack molten metal into respective stages in low-pressure casting using multi-stage type sand molds. CONSTITUTION: At the time of supplying the molten metal into the cavities of the respective stages of castings 4, the molten metal is pushed up by pressure through passages 30A, 30B from inlets 28, further via ingates 32A, 32B into the cavities 31 existing on the right and left of the inlets. In such a case, the total of the cross-sectional areas at the inlets of intermediate passages is made much smaller than the total of the cross-sectional areas of the inlets and the flow rate of the molten metal is throttled in the inlets of the intermediate passages by each of the respective stages. As a result, the pressure of the molten metal is relieved, the erosion and occlusion of air bubbles of the casting molds by turbulence are prevented and the improvement in quality is obtd.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the low-pressure casting of metals in multi-stage sand molds that are open on one side. The invention primarily relates to a method for supplying molten metal under low pressure into the cavity of a multi-stage sand mold that is open on one side. This supply is carried out via a casting spout, at least one intermediate passage extending from said spout for each stage, and a weir connecting this passage to each cavity.

Low-pressure casting (for example, French patent applications FR-A-2 295 808, 2 367 of the applicant)
566 and 2 556 996) is particularly advantageous in the production of metal products with thin walls and/or complex shapes and/or large dimensions compared to gravity casting. In fact, the pressure exerted on the metal as a result of the injection of gas into the gas-tight casting pot containing the liquid metal can be controlled at will to cause the metal to flow throughout the cavity.

(3) If the pressure is relieved after the weir has solidified and started to perform the blocking function (FR-A-2 mentioned above)
295 808), the metal in the intermediate passage, ie a relatively large amount of metal which has been significantly cooled, is returned to the casting pot. During the next pour, this cooled metal first rises through the pour spout, resulting in some quality loss of the cast product. For the same reason, excessive metal transfer is required for each pour.

All three stages are the same and have a structure as shown in FIG. In this structure, from the casting port 28 to 2
The two passages 30A and 30B extend horizontally with the casting port 28 in between, forming extensions of each other. Each stage further includes two cavities 31 of identical elongated shape. These cavities exist on either side of the spout 28 and receive liquid metal via three weirs. In this embodiment, each cavity is provided with one weir 32A or 32B on one side of the casting opening and two weirs 32B or 32A on the opposite side. Three weirs 32A connect the cavity to passage 30A, and three weirs 32B connect the cavity to passage 30B. Each passage 30A or 30B is therefore used to connect the spout 28 to all weirs located on the same side of the spout 28, and to feed the two cavities of that stage.

If the cross-sectional area of these passages varies, the cross-sectional area of the entrance to these passages should meet this condition.

The apparatus operates as follows. With the frame 3 separated from the casting pot 1, apply a suitable heat-resistant seal 3.
3 is applied to the bottom of the housing 29 of the mold 4. A mold 4 with a core (not shown) in each cavity is placed on the plate 26 and centered with respect to the central hole 27 of the plate. The frame 3 is then slid on the rails 19 and moved above the liquid cast iron ladle 1 so that the nozzle 6 and the mold housing 29 face each other. By extending the jack 21 in this state, the mold 4 and the support 26 are lowered via the plate 23 while resisting the force of the spring 25. As a result of this operation, the seal 33 is tightened between the bottom of the accommodating portion 29 and the nozzle 6, and the casting port and the introduction pipe are connected in an airtight manner.

Next, the casting pot 1 is connected to the pressure source 13 by operating the device 15 . As a result, the pressure acting on the free surface of the cast iron causes the cast iron to rise within the tube 12 and fill the spout 28, passages 30A and 30B and cavity 31 of the mold. The pressure is maintained for a predetermined period of time determined depending on the size and shape of the product to be manufactured. Meanwhile, the pour spout 28 serves as a reservoir or sprue that supplies supplemental liquid cast iron into the cavity to compensate for shrinkage.
). Next, when the weir and the intermediate passage are solidified, the gas pressure in the casting pot 1 is returned to atmospheric pressure by operating the device 15, and the liquid cast iron in the pouring port 28 and the pipe 12 is flowed out from these two pipes to form the casting pot. Return to within 1.

It is moved horizontally from the casting pot 1 by sliding on the top.

Since the passages 30A and 30B have the aforementioned dimensions and a suitable flow rate of gas is introduced through the pipe 14, the liquid metal rises at high speed in the casting spout 28 and flows into the passages at each stage. Pressure metallo
statique) is established and the two cavities of each stage are supplied with liquid metal via a pair of corresponding passages 30A and 30B. In such a structure, all cavities are filled simultaneously, regardless of their shape. Additionally, the narrow intermediate passages limit the flow rate of metal flowing through them, thus allowing filling to occur more quietly and reproducibly in each cavity of each stage and with better control during each casting operation. Metal migration is minimized. This is further facilitated by the pressure relief on the liquid metal at the inlet of these weirs due to the dimensions of the weirs as described above. This also leads to improved quality of cast products.

Furthermore, since the intermediate passage is used as a closing means, the return of extremely cooled metal into the casting pot is avoided without reducing the metal yield. This is extremely advantageous for the reproducibility of casting conditions. Also, the slightly cooled metal in the pouring spout will be distributed among all cavities of the mold during the next pouring operation.
