Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the casting defects of a casting and to improve the quality thereof in casting using a sand mold by keeping feeding a cooling gas to the inside of the sand mold until a molten metal solidifies before and after a pouring operation into the product cavity of a casting mold. CONSTITUTION:A molten alloy is poured into the product cavity 3 formed of a metallic mold and sand core 2 (sand mold). A vacuum pump 7 is operated by using a valve 6 to evacuated and suck the inside of the sand core 2 at the point of the time when the molten metal is nearly filled into the product cavity 3. The air in the atm. is therefore sucked through the inside of the sand core 2 and a conduit 5 to the vacuum pump 7 side. Since the sand core 2 is mainly constituted of sand particles 8, there are gaps among the sand particles 8 and the air flows by passing through the gaps to cool the sand core 2. The vacuum pump 7 is stopped and the casting 9 is taken out of the mold 1 when the molten metal solidifes. The generation of the casting defects such as shrinkage cavities and pinholes to the casting 9 is thereby suppressed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a casting method in which a sand mold is used for at least a portion of a mold defining a product cavity.

Casting is performed by pouring molten metal into the product cavity of a mold. The molds that define the product cavities are classified into metal molds and sand molds based on their constituent materials. usually,
Whether the mold is a metal mold or a sand mold is determined by considering the shape, size, material, mass productivity, etc. of the product to be cast (casting), but if the product has a cavity, a sand core is used. (In this case, sand molds and metal molds are often used together.)

By the way, in casting operations, it is considered desirable to control the cooling rate of the molten metal so that, for example, directional solidification can be achieved after the molten metal has sufficiently circulated within the product cavity of the mold. When using a mold as a casting mold, cooling can be achieved relatively easily by providing cooling pipes or cooling passages within the mold and passing a cooling medium through them, or by blowing a cooling medium such as compressed air or water from the outside. The temperature of the mold can be controlled.

However, when a sand mold is used at least in part as a casting mold, it is usually difficult to cool the sand mold. In other words, it is not only difficult to pass cooling pipes or form cooling passages inside the sand mold as in the case of molds;
Even if the molten metal is passed through a cooling pipe, it is not possible to cool the molten metal efficiently because the components that make up the sand mold, mainly silica sand, are a type of ceramic and have a strong heat insulating effect. If no cooling is performed, the solidification of the molten metal in contact with the sand mold tends to be delayed due to the insulating effect of the sand mold itself, as described above, and as a result, casting defects such as cavities and pinholes are caused by molding. This problem occurs more easily than in the case of molds, and the strength of the casting is also weakened.
