摘要:
A method for producing a core sand and/or mold sand for foundry purposes mixes a granular mineral mold base material with an additive and an inorganic binder. An inorganic swelling additive having a swelling index of at least 9, in other words a higher swelling index that that achieved for coal, is used as an additive. Alternatively, it is also possible to work with an inorganic additive, for example with macro-crystalline graphite, whereby the finished mixture of the mold base material, the additive, and the binder is compacted to a density increase of at least 20 g/dm3.

The present invention relates to novel binder and slurry formulations used to form molds for casting metal alloys and, more particularly, reactive metal alloys. The shell molds lead to more uniform castings which exhibit limited alpha case as compared to other currently available shell mold systems.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a core for a ceramic shell mold is disclosed. A porous core body is formed from at least about 50% by weight of at least one rare earth metal oxide. The core body is heated under heating conditions sufficient to provide the core with a density of about 35% to about 80% of its theoretical density. The core body is then infiltrated with a liquid colloid or solution of at least one metal oxide compound, e.g., rare earth metal oxides; silica, aluminum oxide, transition metal oxides, and combinations thereof. The infiltrated core body is then heated to sinter the particles without substantially changing the dimensions of the core body. Mold-core assemblies which include such a core body are also described. A description of processes for casting a turbine component, using the core, is also set forth herein.
摘要:
A method for reducing pollutant emissions from a metal casting case used in foundry practice. The metal casting case includes at least a molding material formed to a metal casting mold. The pollutant emissions are released from material making up the casting cases after pouring molten metal in the metal casting mold. The method includes the steps of adding at least one additional combustible substance to at least one region of the casting mold located outside of a contact region of the casting mold with the casting, and burning the at least one additional combustible substance in one of a gaseous and vaporized state together with the pollutant emissions.
摘要:
A method of improving the removal of an investment casting shell surrounding a metallic article. The shell is made from the deposit of layers refractory slurry and stucco onto a pattern. The shell contains, after firing, an amount of an alkali metal oxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide sufficient to reduce the strength of the shell. By this invention, after firing of the shell and pouring of the molten metallic part into the shell, the shell is hydrated to further reduce the strength of the shell, to facilitate its removal from the metallic part.
摘要:
Thermal expansion of sand cores and the formation of vein defects during metal casting operations can be substantially eliminated, with substantially reduced costs, by using an anti-veining material comprising less than about 4% by weight of a lithia-containing material, and at least about 1% by weight of ferric oxide (Fe2O3), said anti-veining material preferably comprising 2.5% Li2O, 10–25% of TiO2, 15–25% Al2O3, 10–25% of Fe3O4, and 60–70% of SiO2 mixed with about 1% by weight of Fe2O3, preferably red iron oxide.

摘要:
A composition and method for forming investment casting shells includes using colloidal silica, zircon flour, and fused silica in a slurry which is applied to a pattern. After the slurry is applied to the pattern, it is allowed to partially or completely solidify. After the shell has solidified, the pattern may be melted or otherwise removed. A molten material is introduced into the shell and allowed to cool to form an article. Finally, the shell is broken away or otherwise removed from the article. The improved shell slurry composition and corresponding method minimizes pattern-to-pour cycle times and is environmentally friendly.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for reducing pollutant emissions, released particularly in the form of pyrolysis products from metal casting cases, used in foundry practices. The aim of the invention is to reduce said emissions at low cost. This aim is achieved, whereby at least one additional combustible substance is added to the metal casting cases. Said substance changes into gaseous form on heating, provided that it is not gaseous, and burns together with the pollutants when leaving the metal casting cases. The additional combustible substance contains at least one organic substance, preferably a wax or an oil, ideally a ketone, an aldehyde, ether or alcohol. It can also be advantageously formed by a combustible gas (natural gas).
摘要:
Coating foundry sand with a thin layer of an oxidation-promoting catalyst. Preferred catalysts comprise ferric and cupric oxides. The catalysts promote the oxidation of any polymeric binder or residues admixed with the sand. The sand is coated by wetting the grains with a solution of a catalyst precursor, drying the sand and baking the sand in air to convert the precursor to the catalyst.
摘要:
A process for making foundry cores and molds is disclosed as well as the core and molds which are produced as well as a sand binder. The binder is a resin which includes a lignin dissolved in a suitable solvent reacted and/or cured with an isocyanate material. The lignin used contains no more than 2% sodium ions. A polyether polyol may be added which has a functionality of greater than 3 and preferably at least 6. A tin catalyst is disclosed for use in the system which has a valence of +4 and one soluble in the system. A material is added to the system to give the mold or core a resistance to the water in core and mold washes. Suitable materials are propylene oxide derivatives of bis phenol A.
