    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 hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy cylinder bore liner is produced by feeding the molten alloy into a metal mold having an inner shell sand cup, while rotating the mold at a speed in excess of 1,000 rpm, to cause the molten alloy to be thrown outwardly by centrifugal force to form a cylindrical liner. On solidification of the alloy, discrete silicon particles are precipitated and the use of the sand shell increases the fluid life of the alloy to enable the lighter weight silicon particles to migrate inwardly under the centrifugal force of rotation, to produce a solidified liner having a greater volume fraction of silicon particles in the inner portion of the liner where greater wear resistance is desired.

    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: 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 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.

    摘要: A pattern for use in casting a rotatable shaft, such as a crankshaft for an internal combustion engine. The pattern includes an evaporable foam pattern section composed of a material such as polystyrene and having a configuration conforming to the crankshaft to be cast. The evaporable foam pattern section includes a plurality of cranks connected by bearing areas, and tubular metal inserts formed of bearing quality steel are disposed around each bearing area and around the pin areas of the cranks. In the casting process, the pattern is placed in a mold and surrounded with a finely divided material such as sand. When molten ferrous metal is fed into contact with the pattern, the pattern will vaporize with the vapor passing into the interstices of the sand while the molten ferrous metal will occupy the void created by the vaporized foam to produce a cast crankshaft having bearing quality steel inserts at the bearing and pin areas.

    摘要: A hypereutectic aluminum silicon alloy having an improved distribution of primary silicon in the microstructure. The alloy is composed by weight of 20% to 30% silicon, 0.4% to 1.6% magnesium, up to 1.4% iron, up to 0.3% manganese, 0.25% copper maximum and the balance aluminum. With this composition the aluminum silicon alloy system exhibits near zero shrinkage on solidification, a similarity of the liquid aluminum-silicon alloy and the primary silicon during the early stages of primary silicon precipitation, and thereby minimizes floatation of the precipitated primary silicon and to provide a more uniform distribution of the primary silicon in the microstructure and increase the wear resistant characteristics of the alloy.
