Definitions
- This invention relates to exothermic and/or insulating sleeves, their method of preparation, and their use
- the sleeves are prepared by shaping a sleeve mix comprising (1) a sleeve composition capable of providing a sleeve, and (2) a chemically reactive binder
- the sleeves are cured in the presence of a catalyst by the cold-box or no-bake curing process
- the invention also relates to a process for casting metal parts using a casting assembly where the sleeves are a component of the casting assembly Additionally, the invention relates to the metal parts produced by the casting process
- a casting assembly consists of a pouring cup, a gating system (including downsprues, choke, and runner), risers, sleeves, molds, cores, and other components
- a gating system including downsprues, choke, and runner
- risers including downsprues, choke, and runner
- sleeves including downsprues, choke, and runner
- molds including molds, cores, and other components
- the molds and/or cores used in the casting assembly are made of sand or other foundry aggregate and a binder, often by the no-bake or cold-box process
- the foundry aggregate is mixed with a chemical binder and typically cured in the presence of a liquid or vaporous catalyst after it is shaped
- Typical aggregates used in making molds and/or cores are aggregates having high densities and high thermal conductivity such as are silica sand, olivme, quartz, zircon sand, and magnesium silicate sands
- the amount of binder used for producing molds and/or cores from these aggregates on a commercial level is typically from 1 0 to 2 25 weight percent based upon the weight and type of the aggregate
- the density of a foundry mix is typically from 1 2 to 1 8 g/cc while the thermal conductivity of such aggregates typically ranges from 0 8 to 1 0 W/m K
- the resulting molds and/or cores are not exothermic since they do not liberate heat
- molds and cores have insulating properties, they are not very effective as insulators
- molds and cores typically absorb heat
- Risers or feeders are reservoirs which contain excess molten metal which is needed to compensate for contractions or voids of metal which occur du ⁇ ng the casting process
- Metal from the riser fills such voids in the casting when metal from the casting contracts
- the metal from the ⁇ ser is allowed to remain in a liquid state for a longer period of time, thereby providing metal to the casting as it cools and solidifies
- Sleeves are used to surround or encapsulate the riser and other parts of the casting assembly in order to keep the molten metal in the riser hot and maintain it in the hquid state The temperature of
- sleeves In order to serve their function, sleeves must have exothermic and/or insulating properties
- the exothermic and insulating thermal properties of the sleeve are different in kind and/or degree than the thermal properties of the mold assembly into which they are inserted
- Predominately exothermic sleeves operate by liberating heat which satisfies some or all of the specific heat requirements of the riser and limits the temperature loss of the molten metal in the riser, thereby keeping the metal hotter and liquid longer Insulating sleeves, on the other hand, maintain the molten metal in the nser by insulating it from the surrounding mold assembly
- Foundry molds and cores do not have the thermal properties which enable them to serve the functions of a sleeve They are not exothermic, are not effective enough as insulators, and absorb too much heat to keep the molten metal hot and liquid Compositions used in foundry molds and cores are not useful for making sleeves because they do not have the required thermal properties and density
- Typical materials used to make sleeves are aluminum, oxidizing agents, fibers, fillers and refractory materials, particularly alumina, aluminosilicate, and aluminosilicate in the form of hollow aluminosilicate spheres
- the type and amount of materials in the slee ⁇ e mix depends upon the properties of the sleeves which are to be made Typical densities of sleeve compositions range from 0 4 g/ml to 0 8 g/ml
- the thermal conductivity for aluminum at room temperature is typically greater than 200 W/m K while the thermal conductivity for hollow aluminosilicate microspheres at room temperature ranges from 0 05 W/m K to 0 5 W/m K
- all sleeves are required to have insulating properties, or combined insulating and exothermic properties in order to minimize heat loss and to maintain the metal in a liquid state for as long a time as possible.
- Ramming and blowing are basically methods of compacting a sleeve composition and binder into a sleeve shape.
- Ramming consists of packing a sleeve mix (sleeve composition and binder) into a sleeve pattern made of wood, plastic, and/or metal.
- Vacuuming consists of applying a vacuum to an aqueous slurry ofa refractory and/or fibers and suctioning off excess water to form a sleeve.
- the sleeves formed are oven-dried to remove contained water and cure the sleeve. If the contained water is not removed, it may vaporize when it comes into contact with the hot metal and result in a safety hazard. In none of these processes is the shaped sleeve chemically cured with a liquid or vaporous catalyst.
- compositions are modified, in some cases, by the partial or complete replacement of the fibers with hollow aluminosilicate microspheres. See PCT publication WO 94/23865. This procedure makes it possible to vary the insulating properties of the sleeves and reduces or eliminates the use of fibers which can create health and safety problems to workers making the sleeves and using the sleeves in the casting process.
- One of the problems with sleeves is that the external dimensions of the sleeves are not accurate. As a result, the external contour of the sleeves does not coincide in its dimensions with the internal cavity of the mold where the sleeve is to be inserted.
- sleeves may lack the required thermal properties needed to maintain the molten metal in the riser reservoir in a hot and liquid state. The result is that the casting experiences shrinkage which results in casting defects These casting defects are most likely to be scrapped which results in wasted time and metal
- Runners, sprues, and other components of the casting assembly also can use insulating and exothermic sleeves as coverings to maintain the temperature of the molten metal which comes into contact with them
- This invention relates to a no-bake and cold-box process for making exothermic and/or insulating sleeves, the sleeves made by this method, and the use of the sleeves in making metal castings Typically, the steps involved in preparing a sleeve are
- a sleeve composition capable of making a sleeve wherein the sleeve composition comprises
- the curing catalyst is a liquid and is mixed with the sleeve composition, binder, and other components prior to shaping
- the sleeve mix is first shaped and then contacted with a vaporous curing catalyst
- the components of the no-bake and cold-box sleeve mixes can be uniformly mixed so that the mixture maintains its consistency, resulting in a sleeve where the properties are uniform throughout
- the no-bake and cold-box processes result in chemically cured sleeves
- the processes result in the higher production of sleeves per unit of time when compared to the processes known in the prior art Additionally, there is less risk to the health and safety of workers who come into contact with the raw materials and sleeves because they are not exposed to any fibers which may cause breathing problems when ingested for prolonged periods of time
- the invention also relates to the sleeves produced by this process
- the sleeves prepared by the process are dimensionally accurate This allows for easy insertion of the sleeve into the mold
- the riser sleeves can be inserted into the mold assembly by automatic methods, thereby further improving the productivity of the molding process. Since the density and thickness of the sleeve are more consistent and dimensionally accurate, the sleeves do not have to be oversized, nor is it necessary to use "crush ribs" or molds with ribs to keep the sleeve in place Moreover, because the sleeves are sufficiently thermally stable, the castings made with casting assemblies using the sleeves do not contain shrinkage defects This results in less scrap and greater productivity
- the invention also relates to the casting of ferrous and non ferrous metal parts in a casting assembly of which the sleeves are a part, and to the parts made by this casting process
- the casting made using these sleeves results in less waste because the sleeves enable the molten metal in the reservoir of the sleeve riser to be reduced compared to the molten metal contained in the reservoir of a sand riser cavity Consequently, there is better utilization of the metal in the riser and this allows for additional castings to be made from the same amount of molten metal
- Figure 1 shows a casting assembly with two riser sleeves (side riser sleeve and top riser sleeve) inserted into the mold assembly of the casting assembly
- Figure 2 graphically illustrates the effect of using a sleeve to keep the molten metal hot and liquid.
- Figure 3 shows a diagram representing a casting where shrinkage of the casting has occurred due to the inadequate thermal properties of the sleeve used. This casting is defective and will be scrapped as waste.
- Figure 4 is a diagram showing a casting where there has been localized shrinkage of the metal riser, but no shrinkage of the casting. This localized shrinkage does not result in casting defects and waste.
- Casting assembly - assembly of casting components such as pouring cup, downsprue, gating system (downsprue, runner, choke), molds, cores, risers, sleeves, etc. which are used to make a metal casting by pouring molten metal into the casting assembly where it flows to the mold assembly and cools to form a metal part.

- the sleeve composition contains exothermic and/or insulating materials, typically inorganic.
- the exothermic and/or insulating materials typically are aluminum-containing materials, preferably selected from the group consisting of aluminum metal, aluminosilicate, alumina, and mixtures thereof, most preferably where the aluminosilicate is in the form of hollow microspheres
- the exothermic material is an oxidizable metal and an oxidizing agent capable of generating an exothermic reaction at the temperature where the metal can be poured
- the oxidizable metal typically is aluminum, although magnesium and similar metals can also be used
- the insulating material is typically alumina or aluminosilicate, preferably aluminosilicate in the form of hollow microspheres
- aluminum metal is used as the oxidizable metal for the exothermic sleeve, it is typically used in the form of aluminum powder and/or aluminum granules.
- the oxidizing agent used for the exothermic sleeve includes iron oxide, maganese oxide, nitrate, potassium permanganate, etc.
- Oxides do not need to be present at stoichiometric levels to satisfy the metal aluminum fuel component since the riser sleeves and molds in which they are contained are permeable. Thus oxygen from the oxidizing agents is supplemented by atmospheric oxygen when the aluminum fuel is burned.
- the weight ratio of aluminum to oxidizing agent is from about 10:1 to about 2:1, preferably about 5 : 1 to about 4:1.
- the thermal properties of the exothermic sleeve is enhanced by the heat generated which reduces the temperature loss of the molten metal in the riser, thereby keeping it hotter and liquid longer.
- the exotherm results from the reaction of aluminum metal which has a thermal conductivity greater than 150 W/m.K at room temperature, more typically greater than 200 W/m.K.
- a mold and/or core does not exhibit exothermic properties.
- the insulating properties of the sleeve are preferably provided by hollow aluminosilicate microspheres, including aluminosilicate zeeospheres.
- the sleeves made with aluminosilicate hollow microspheres have low densities, low thermal conductivities, and excellent insulating properties.
- the thermal conductivity of the hollow aluminosilicate microspheres ranges from about 0.05 W/m.K to about 0.6 W/m.K at room temperature, more typically from about 0.1 W/m.K to about 0.5 W/m.K.
- the insulating and exothermic properties of the sleeve can be varied, but have thermal properties which are different in degree and/or kind than the mold assembly into which they will be inserted.
- the amount of aluminum in the sleeve will range from 0 weight percent to 50 weight percent, typically 5 weight percent to 40 weight percent, based upon the weight of the sleeve composition.
- the amount of hollow aluminosilicate microspheres, in the sleeve will range from 0 weight percent to 100 weight percent, typically 40 weight percent to 90 weight percent, based upon the weight of the sleeve composition Since in most cases, both insulating and exothermic properties are needed in the sleeves, both aluminum metal and hollow aluminosilicate microspheres will be used in the sleeve In sleeves where both insulating and exothermic properties are needed, the weight ratio of aluminum metal to hollow aluminosilicate microspheres is typically from about 1 5 to about 1 : 1, preferably from about 1 : 1 to about 1 : 1.5.
- the hollow aluminosilicate microspheres typically have a particle size of about 3 mm with any wall thickness. Preferred are hollow aluminosilicate microspheres having an average diameter less than 1 mm and a wall thickness of approximately 10% of the particle size. It is believed that hollow microspheres made of material other than aluminosilicate, having insulating properties, can also be used to replace or used in combination with the hollow aluminosilicate microspheres.
- the weight percent of alumina to silica (as SiO 2 ) in the hollow aluminosilicate microspheres can vary over wide ranges depending on the application, for instance from 25:75 to 75:25, typically 33:67 to 50:50, where said weight percent is based upon the total weight of the hollow microspheres. It is known from the literature that hollow aluminosilicate microspheres having a higher alumina content are better for making sleeves used in pouring metals such as iron and steel which have casting temperatures of 1300 °C to 1700 °C because hollow aluminosilicate microspheres having more alumina have higher melting points. Thus sleeves made with these hollow aluminosilicate microspheres will not degrade as easily at higher temperatures.
- Refractories although not necessarily preferred in terms of performance because of their higher densities and high thermal conductivities, may be used in the sleeve composition to impart higher melting points to the sleeve mixture so the sleeve will not degrade when it comes into contact with the molten metal during the casting process.
- refractories include silica, magnesia, alumina, olivine, chromite, aluminosilicate, and silicon carbide among others. These refractories are preferably used in amounts less than 50 weight percent based upon the weight of the sleeve composition, more preferably less than 25 weight percent based upon the weight of the sleeve composition.
