Abstract
Description
この鋳型造型装置として、例えば特許文献1には、直方体を成すとともに上下に貫通する中空を有する中空直方体の下端開口部を底板で閉鎖しかつこの底板に前記発泡混合物を射出する射出孔を透設して、前記骨材、水溶性バインダ、及び水を攪拌する攪拌槽としての機能と、前記混合物を圧入すべくこれを収納する圧入筒としての機能と、を併せ持つ混合物収納手段を設け、さらに、前記射出孔を閉鎖可能な栓手段を設けた鋳型造型装置が開示されている。
ただし、金型へ離型剤を塗布する作業は鋳型を造型する毎に毎回実施されており、この離型剤の毎回の塗布作業が、鋳型造型の簡易化(例えば繰り返しの造型サイクルにおける時間の短縮化)を阻む一因となっていた。また、塗布の際に離型剤が周囲環境中に飛散することがあった。
そのため、鋳型を造型する際の金型への離型剤塗布の作業を必要としない又は低減することが求められていた。
また、離型性に優れた鋳型を提供することを目的とする。
b)前記発泡骨材混合物を金型における鋳型造型用の空間に充填する充填工程と、
c)充填した前記発泡骨材混合物の水分を蒸発させて前記発泡骨材混合物を固化させ、鋳型を造型する鋳型造型工程と、
d)造型された前記鋳型を前記鋳型造型用の空間から取り出す取出工程と、
を有する鋳型の造型方法。
また、離型性に優れた鋳型を提供することができる。
なお、本明細書において「工程」との語には、独立した工程だけではなく、他の工程と明確に区別できない場合であっても、その目的が達成されるものであれば、当該工程も本用語に含まれる。
この効果が奏される理由は以下のように推察される
そして、金型への離型剤塗布の作業を必要としないか又は低減することができるため、鋳型造型の簡易化(例えば繰り返しの造型サイクルにおける時間の短縮化)を達成することができる。
さらに、離型剤を金型へ塗布する際に生じる該離型剤の飛散が低減される。また、骨材混合物中に含有される水性離型剤は、上記の通り水に良好に分散していることから骨材混合物の外に飛散し難い状態となっている。これらにより、離型剤の周囲環境への飛散も抑制されるものと考えられる。
本実施形態に係る鋳型用骨材混合物は、水性離型剤を含有する。
また、「離型剤」とは、骨材混合物に含有させて造型した鋳型の表面の離型性能を、含有させずに造型した鋳型よりも向上させ得る添加物を指す。
水性離型剤は、鎖状構造を有する物質(本明細書において「鎖状構造物質」と称す)であることが好ましい。鎖状構造物質としては、例えば炭素原子が並ぶ炭素鎖やシリコーンの骨格であるシロキサン鎖を有する高分子化合物を表す。
水性のエマルションには、油成分が分散している。なお、油成分は消泡作用を有するものが多いが、本実施形態ではエマルションに含まれる界面活性剤を適切に選択する等の方法により、水性離型剤に発泡作用を妨げない性能を付与することができる。こうすることで、安定した発泡を行うことができ、金型に充填する際の骨材混合物の粘度を求められる範囲に制御し易くなる。
なお、〔粘度A〕は〔粘度B〕に対して、さらに10倍以下であることが好ましく、1倍に近いほど好ましい。
水性離型剤は、水溶性粘結剤に作用する官能基を有することが好ましい。ここで、前記官能基について説明する。本実施形態における前記官能基は、酸性の性質を付与するプロトン供与性を有する官能基である。前記官能基の例としては、フェノール基(-C6H4-OH)、カルボキシル基(カルボキシ基、-COOH)、カルボニル基(-C(=O)-)、及びシラノール基(-SiH2OH)がある。ただし、本実施形態における官能基は、前記に記した官能基の例に限定されるものではない。つまり、本実施形態における官能基としては、プロトン供与性を有するものであれば、水溶性粘結剤に作用するものであるため、用いることができる。
水性離型剤の含有量は、骨材混合物中における前記官能基の量、つまり骨材混合物に対する前記官能基の当量で2.0×10-7mol/kg以上1.0×10-4mol/kg以下であることが好ましく、1.0×10-6mol/kg以上4.0×10-5mol/kg以下がより好ましい。この官能基は水性離型剤より然るべき量で加えられるものである。
骨材混合物中に含まれる官能基の当量が2.0×10-7mol/kg以上であることで、鋳型の金型からの離型性がより向上する。一方、官能基の当量が4.0×10-5mol/kg以下であることで、安定した発泡を行うことができ、金型に充填する際の骨材混合物の粘度を求められる範囲に制御し易くなる。
本実施形態における骨材としては、特に限定されず従来公知のいかなるものも用いることができる。例えば、珪砂(例えば天然珪砂)、アルミナ砂、オリビン砂、クロマイト砂、ジルコン砂、及びムライト砂等の骨材が挙げられる。更には、各種の人工骨材(いわゆる人工砂)を用いてもよい。
これらの中でも、骨材に対し粘結剤の添加量を低減しても十分な鋳型強度が得られ易く且つ高い骨材再生率が得られ易いとの観点で、特に天然珪砂及び人工砂の少なくとも一方が好ましい。
粒度(つまりAFS指数)がAFS;30以上であることにより、流動性に優れ、鋳型を造型する際の充填性が向上する。一方、AFS;150以下であることにより鋳型として通気性が良好に保たれる。特に、AFS;40以上であると、骨材が細かく、微細な形状の金型の転写性が向上し、かつ鋳型強度も高められる。一方、AFS120以下であると、砂がある程度粗くハンドリング性が向上し、再生も容易に行うことができる。
水溶性粘結剤は、常温及び注湯される溶湯の温度域において鋳型の形状を良好に保持させるとの観点で、骨材に粘結力を付与するために含有される。
なお、水溶性とは常温(つまり20℃)で水に可溶性であることを指し、1気圧20℃で同容量の純水との混合液が均一な外観を示すことが好ましい。
これらの中でも、珪酸ナトリウム(所謂水ガラス)、および珪酸カリウム(所謂珪酸カリ)がより好ましい。
なお、水溶性粘結剤は、例えば上記に列挙されたものの中から1種のみを用いても、2種以上を併用してもよい。
また、本実施形態に係る骨材混合物を用いて鋳型を造型するに際しては、水溶性発泡剤を用いて骨材、水溶性粘結剤等と共に混合し攪拌して発泡を生じさせることが好ましい。つまり、発泡した骨材混合物を調製して流動性を向上した上で、鋳型を造型することが好ましい。
なお、水溶性とは常温(つまり20℃)で水に可溶性であることを指し、1気圧20℃で同容量の純水との混合液が均一な外観を示すことが好ましい。
発泡性を有する水溶性粘結剤としては、例えば界面活性剤(具体的には、陰イオン界面活性剤、非イオン界面活性剤、両性界面活性剤等)、ポリビニルアルコールもしくはその誘導体、サポニン、澱粉もしくはその誘導体、及びその他の糖類等が挙げられる。なお、その他の糖類としては、例えば、多糖類としてセルロース、及びフルクトース等が、四糖類としてアカルボース等が、三糖類としてラフィノース、及びマルトトリオース等が、二糖類としてマルトース、スクラトース、及びトレハロース等が、単糖類としてブドウ糖、果糖、及びその他オリゴ糖等が挙げられる。
陰イオン界面活性剤、非イオン界面活性剤、及び両性界面活性剤の総含有量は、骨材に対し0.001質量%以上0.1質量%以下が好ましく、更に0.005質量%以上0.05質量%以下がより好ましい。
ポリビニルアルコール及びその誘導体、サポニン、澱粉及びその誘導体、並びにその他の糖類の総含有量は、骨材に対し0.1質量%以上20.0質量%以下が好ましく、更に0.2質量%以上5質量%以下がより好ましい。
本実施形態に係る鋳型用骨材混合物は、水を含有する。
本実施形態における水の骨材に対する含有量は、用いる粘結剤及び骨材の種類によってそれぞれ設定することが好ましいが、0.5質量%以上10.0質量%以下が好ましく、更に1.5質量%以上7.5質量%以下がより好ましい。
また、本実施形態に係る鋳型用骨材混合物には、上記のほかにも、触媒、及び酸化促進剤等、従来公知の組成物を添加することができる。
本実施形態に係る鋳型用骨材混合物の作製は、上述した各種成分を混合することにより行われる。添加の順番や混練の方法は特に限定されるものではない。
上記各成分を混練する際の混練装置としては、特に限定されることなく従来公知の混練装置が用いられる。例えば、自転・公転ミキサー、アイリッヒ・インテンシブ・ミキサー、新東シンプソン・ミックスマラー等が用いられる。
本実施形態に係る鋳型用骨材混合物を用いた鋳型の造型は、造型機による造型であっても、また手込めによる造型であってもよい。
a)骨材、水溶性粘結剤、水溶性発泡剤、水性離型剤、及び水を含む骨材混合物を攪拌することにより該骨材混合物中で発泡を生じさせ、気泡を含む発泡骨材混合物を調製する発泡骨材混合物調製工程
b)前記発泡骨材混合物を金型における鋳型造型用の空間(所謂キャビティ)に充填する充填工程
c)充填した前記発泡骨材混合物の水分を蒸発させて前記発泡骨材混合物を固化させ、鋳型を造型する鋳型造型工程
d)造型された鋳型を前記鋳型造型用の空間から取り出す取出工程
鋳型の金型からの離型性には、鋳型表面に存在する水性離型剤が大きく影響するため、上記の通り表面における水性離型剤の充填密度が高くなる本実施形態では、水性離型剤による離型性がより良好に発揮される。また、表面における水性離型剤の充填密度が高くなるため、水性離型剤の添加量を低減することにも有効である。
なお、発泡骨材混合物(つまり攪拌後の鋳型用骨材混合物)の粘度の測定は以下のようにして行われる。
-測定方法-
底部に直径6mmの細孔を有する内径42mmの円筒容器に発泡骨材混合物を投入し、次に前記円筒容器内に重量1kg、直径40mmの円柱状のおもりを装着する。前記おもりの自重で加圧することで、前記円筒容器の細孔より発泡骨材混合物が排出される。この時、前記おもりが50mm移動するのに要した時間を計測し、下記数式にて発泡骨材混合物の粘度を求める。なお、粘度測定時の温度は20℃とする。
式 μ=πD4Ppt/128L1L2S
μ:粘度[Pa・s]
D:底部細孔の直径[m]
Pp:おもりの加圧力[Pa]

L1:おもりの移動距離(=50mm)
L2:底部細孔の板厚[m]
