    摘要: A method of evaporable foam casting of metal articles, such as engine blocks for internal combustion engines. An evaporable foam pattern having a configuration proportionally identical to the article to be cast is positioned in a mold and a finely divided flowable material, such as sand, surrounds the pattern and fills the internal cavities of the pattern. A molten hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy containing 16% to 19.5% by weight of silicon and containing a magnesium content in excess of the magnesium solid solubility limit, is fed into the mold and into contact with the pattern. The heat of the molten metal vaporizes the pattern, with the vapor being trapped within the sand and the molten metal filling the void created by vaporization of the pattern to provide a cast article. The high magnesium content in the alloy produces in the solid state a Mg.sub.2 Si phase in the eutectic and in the molten state an insulating magnesium oxide surface film which decreases the chilling of the molten metal front and prevents the liquid styrene defects resulting from degradation of the polymeric material.

    摘要: Molten metal is poured in an open top basin that communicates via a sprue with a cavity or expendable pattern in a mold to fill the cavity and partially fill the basin. After the casting metal has solidified through the gating that connects the sprue to the cavity, a tapered heat transfer member is introduced into the molten metal in the basin. A cooling medium is passed through the heat transfer member to extract heat from the metal in the basin and correspondingly cool the metal casting, thereby decreasing the cooling period prior to shakeout.

    摘要: A hypoeutectic aluminum silicon casting alloy having a refined primary silicon particle size and a modified iron morphology. The alloy includes 10 to 11.5% by weight silicon, 0.10 to 0.70% by weight magnesium and also contains 0.05 to 0.07% by weight strontium. On cooling from the solution temperature, the strontium serves to modify the silicon eutectic structure as well as create an iron phase morphology change. Such changes facilitate feeding through the aluminum interdendritic matrix. This, in turn, creates a finished die cast product with extremely low levels of microporosity defects. The alloy may be used to cast engine blocks for marine outboard and stern drive motors. Furthermore, when the magnesium levels are adjusted to approximately 0.10 to 0.20% by weight magnesium, propellers having a highly advantageous ductility may be obtained.

    摘要: A method of producing polymeric foam patterns for use in evaporable foam casting. A positive three-dimensional model of the metal part to be cast is made by a layered prototyping process in which layers of sheet material are bonded in superimposed relation and the contour of the part to be cast is cut into each layer as it is applied to preceding layers to provide the model. A metal, such as copper, is then deposited on the working surface of the model to provide a rigid self-supporting shell having a surface which is the negative image of the part to be cast. The shell, after separation from the model, is then mounted in a die casting mold with the negative surface bordering a die cavity. Beads of a polymeric material, such as polystyrene, are introduced into the die cavity and heated to fuse the beads and provide a foam pattern which is identical in configuration to the metal part to be ultimately cast.

    摘要: A method of producing dimensionally predictable metal castings utilizing an expendable polymeric foam pattern along with unbonded sand having specific thermal properties. The pattern, formed of a material such as polystyrene, has a configuration corresponding to that of the article to be cast. The pattern is placed with an outer flask and unbonded sand surrounds the pattern as well as filling the cavities in the pattern. The sand has a linear expansion of less than 1% from 0.degree. C. to 1600.degree. C., a heat diffusivity greater than 1500 J/m.sup.2 /.degree.K/S1/2, an AFS grain fineness number of 25 to 33, and an AFS base permeability number of 450 to 500. A molten metal, such as an aluminum alloy or a ferrous alloy, is fed into the mold in contact with the pattern causing the pattern to vaporize with the vapor being entrapped within the interstices of the sand while the molten metal fills the space initially occupied by the foam pattern to produce a cast article. The physical properties of the sand enable articles to be cast having more precise and predictable tolerances.

    摘要: A method of high pressure casting of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys using a salt core to form wear resistant articles, such as engine blocks. To produce an engine block, one or more solid salt cores are positioned within a metal mold with the space between the cores and the mold defining a die cavity. A molten hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy containing more than 12% silicon is fed into the die cavity and on solidification of the molten alloy, precipitated silicon crystals are formed, which are distributed throughout the wall thickness of the cast part and also on the surface bordering the salt cores which constitute the cylinder bores in the cast block. The salt cores are subsequently removed from the cast block by contact with a solvent such as water.

    摘要: A method of producing titanium. A quantity of titanium is heated in a crucible to provide a melt, and a layer of slag, containing an ionizable titanium compound, such as titanium dioxide, along with ionizable slag constituents, is disposed on the top of the melt. The slag is then heated to a molten state by direct current plasma arc heating with the melt being anodic. After the slag is molten, the polarity of the plasma arc heating is reversed so that the melt is cathodic, causing the slag to act as an electron transfer layer so that the titanium dioxide of the slag is reduced to titanium and any dissolved oxygen in the melt is converted to an ionic species of oxygen at the interface between the slag and the melt. The resulting liquid titanium is combined with the melt, while the ionic species of oxygen is carried upwardly through the slag and released from the slag layer by an oxidation process. Additional quantities of titanium dioxide can be added to the slag to continually convert the titanium dioxide to titanium under the reverse polarity plasma arc heating.
