    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for manufacturing a metal workpiece by casting a metal alloy in a mould, wherein prior to the casting, a chart is determined providing a risk of appearance of recrystallised grains during the casting/solidification of the metal workpiece, depending on temperature and plastic deformation energy conditions undergone by said metal workpiece, the casting of the metal alloy in the mould being implemented under casting and solidification conditions determined using the chart in order for the temperature and plastic deformation energy conditions undergone by the metal workpiece to be less than a given threshold for the risk of appearance of recrystallised grains.

    摘要: The present invention provides a casting method and cast product of spherical graphite cast iron, in which, even with a small modulus, there is no chill, the spherical graphite in the tissue is further made ultrafine, the dispersion of the particle diameter is small, and the number of the particles is several times that of the conventional one in the as cast state where heat treatment is not carried out.A casting method of a spherical graphite cast iron comprised from, a melting process, a spheroidizing treatment process, an inoculation process, and a casting process, in which the original molten metal after the inoculation process is poured and filled up to a product space through a gate of a metal mold; wherein the original molten metal before being filled up to the product space is controlled to a semi-solidification temperature range. An amount of nitrogen at the time of melting of the (cast iron?) is controlled to 0.9 ppm (mass) or less. The casting process is carried out by controlling the pouring temperature and the heat removal amount from the molten metal so that the temperature of the raw material when passing through the gate becomes a substantially constant temperature between an eutectic temperature and a liquidus temperature.

    摘要: A mould for casting a component in a directional solidification casting process having a preferred direction of grain growth (non-axial ) comprises a shell defining a cavity for receiving molten material. The cavity defines a three dimensional shape made up of a finished component geometry portion (42, 43, 44) and a sacrificial geometry portion (45) wherein the sacrificial geometry portion (45) includes a notch (48) which is shaped and positioned so as to, in use, contain high angle grain boundaries between dendritic growth in the preferred direction (non-axial ) and dendritic growth in a competing direction to the preferred direction (axial ) within the sacrificial geometry portion of a casting solidifying in the mould.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a Ni alloy casting, includes a casting step of casting molten Ni alloy by pouring the molten Ni alloy into a cavity of a mold, a columnar grain forming step of forming columnar grain by solidifying the molten Ni alloy while drawing the mold, in which the molten Ni alloy has been poured, at a drawing speed of 100 mm/hour or more but 400 mm/hour or less with a temperature gradient provided to a solid-liquid interface, and an equiaxed grain forming step of forming equiaxed grain by solidifying the molten Ni alloy while drawing the mold at a drawing speed of 1000 mm/minute or more continuously after the columnar grain forming step.
