Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the cooling capacity of a core and prevent a shrinkage hole and bad air-tightness in a casting by specifying the component and the thermal conductivity of an aggregate for core. CONSTITUTION:The cores 3, 4 are formed by using graphite or SiC particles having >=10W/m.KW thermal conductivity as the aggregate for core and used to the casting of an aluminum alloy casting, etc. By this method, the cooling at a part contacting with the cores in the casting are quickened, and imbalance of the cooling speed between the part contacting with a metallic mold 2 in the casting and the part contacting with the cores 3, 4 is reduced. Particularly, when the core 3 is surrounded with the metallic mold 2, the shrinkage hole and the bad air-tightness at the part contacting with the core can be prevented. The graphite can be manufactured to the particles having about 0.2mm particle diameter and can be used to form the core under the same condition as silica sand and is excellent as the aggregate for core quickening the cooling.

The material of the mold is cast iron or heat-resistant steel, which has a thermal conductivity of 20 to 50 W / m · K, whereas the core has a thermal conductivity of about 2 W / m · K. It is formed from silica sand as an aggregate. Therefore, the portion in contact with the core of the molten aluminum alloy cools more slowly than the portion in contact with the mold, and casting defects such as shrinkage cavities are likely to occur. In particular, when the core is surrounded by a mold, the thermal conductivity of the core is much smaller than that of the mold as described above, so the part in contact with the core becomes the final solidification part and shrinkage cavity. And airtightness is likely to occur.

However, when applying a mold coating agent to the core, the thickness of the mold coating layer is very thin, and the thermal conductivity of zircon is about 6 W / mK. Since it is small, the effect of accelerating cooling is small. On the other hand, even if the entire core is molded with zircon sand, the effect of accelerating the cooling is small. Although chills have a great effect, they are often difficult to remove after casting, which significantly reduces work efficiency. Although the effect of hot water is great, only a limited number of parts can be installed in terms of product shape and mold structure.

The thermal conductivity of cast iron and heat-resistant steel used in the mold is 20 to 50 W / mK, but by setting the thermal conductivity of the core aggregate to 10 W / mK or more, This has the effect of accelerating the cooling of the casting that is in contact with the core. If the thermal conductivity of the aggregate is less than 10 W / mK, remarkably shrinkage cavities and poor airtightness occur like silica sand and zircon sand.
The grain size of the core material for aluminum alloy castings is 0.2 mm
Although the degree is appropriate, when the core is molded with such particles, the apparent thermal conductivity of the core is reduced to about 20% of the aggregate, so the apparent thermal conductivity of the core is reduced to the mold. In order to match, the core aggregate has a thermal conductivity of 100 to 250 W / m.
