Analýza kvality tlakového odlitku hliníku

Charakteristiky vad hliníkových tlakových odlitků: oxidovaná struska je většinou rozmístěna na horní ploše odlitku, v rozích licí formy, kde neprochází žádný vzduch. Zlomeniny jsou většinou špinavě bílé nebo žluté, a nacházejí se rentgenovým nebo mechanickým zpracováním. Lze jej nalézt i v alkalickém praní, moření nebo eloxování

cause:
1. The charge of aluminum die-casting is not clean, and the amount of charge used is too much
2. Poor gating system design
3. The slag in the alloy liquid is not cleaned
4. Improper pouring operation brings in slag
The standing time sufficient modification after refining
Prevention method:
1. The charge should be sand-blown, and the amount of charge used should be appropriately reduced
2. Improve the design of the gating system to increase its slag retaining ability
3. Use proper flux to remove slag
4. Pouring should be stable and pay attention to slag retention
5. The alloy liquid should stand for a certain period of time after refining before pouring

Pores and bubbles appear in aluminum die castings
Defect characteristics: The pores in the wall of aluminum castings are generally round or oval, with a smooth surface, usually shiny oxide skin, sometimes oily yellow. Surface pores and bubbles can be found by sandblasting, and internal pores and bubbles can be found by X-ray fluoroscopy or mechanical processing. The bubbles appear black on the X-ray film.
cause:
1. The casting alloy is not stable, and gas is involved
2. The (core) sand is mixed with organic impurities (such as coal cuttings, grassroots horse manure, atd.)
3. Poor ventilation of mold and sand core
4. There are shrinkage holes on the surface of cold iron
5. Poor gating system design

Prevention method:
1. Correctly control the pouring speed to avoid getting involved in gas.
2. No organic impurities should be mixed into the molding (core) sand to reduce the gas evolution of the molding material
3. Improve the exhaust ability of (core) sand
4. Correct selection and treatment of cold iron
5. Improve gating system design

Shrinkage and looseness of aluminum die castings
cause:
1. Poor feeding effect of cavity riser
2. Die-casting charge contains too much gas
3. Overheating near the runner in the cavity
4. There is too much moisture in the sand cavity and the sand core is not dried
5. Coarse alloy grains
6. Improper position of the casting in the mold
7. Pouring temperature is too high, pouring speed is too fast

Prevention method:
1. The cavity is filled with molten metal from the riser and the riser design is improved
2. Die-casting charge should be clean and non-corrosive
3. A riser is set at the shrinkage porosity of the casting, and cold iron or cold iron is placed in combination with the riser
4. Control the moisture of the molding sand and dry the sand core
5. Take measures to refine material grains
6. Improve the position of the casting in the mold to reduce the pouring temperature and pouring speed

Four, there are cracks in die casting
Defect characteristics of aluminum die casting
Casting crack
Cracks develop along grain boundaries, often accompanied by segregation. It is a kind of cracks formed at higher temperatures that are easy to appear in alloys with larger volume shrinkage and castings with more complex shapes.
2. Heat treatment cracks
Due to heat treatment overburning or overheating, it often presents transcrystalline cracks. The alloys with large stress and thermal expansion coefficient are often cooled excessively. Or when there are other metallurgical defects

cause
1. The casting structure design is unreasonable, there are sharp corners, and the wall thickness changes too much
2. Sand mold (core) poor concession
3. Local overheating of the mold
4. Pouring temperature is too high
5. It is too early to take out the casting from the mold
6. The heat treatment is overheated or burned, and the cooling rate is excessive

Prevention method
1. Improve the structural design of castings to avoid sharp corners, strive for uniform wall thickness and smooth transition
2. Take measures to increase the concession of sand mold (core)
3. Ensure that all parts of the casting are solidified at the same time or sequentially, and improve the design of the gating system
4. Appropriately lower the pouring temperature
5. Control the mold cooling out time.
6. The thermal correction method is used when the casting is deformed.
7. Correctly control the heat treatment temperature and reduce the quenching cooling rate
The problem is that aluminum castings have loose structure, high porosity, and contain a variety of metallic and non-metallic impurities. After dyeing, the anodic oxide film is prone to white spots, and the quality of the anodic oxide film on aluminum castings is difficult to guarantee. In this regard, relevant experts said that the following methods can be used to avoid this problem:
the first, Use high voltage and high current density impact method. In the early stage of anodizing, high voltage and high current shocks are used to connect the large and small “blocks” originally divided by impurities into pieces by high current shocks.
second, Casting surface grinding method. Grinding can fill the pores of the casting with the ground aluminum powder and act as a bridge connecting the blocks separated by impurities.
third, Shot peening of casting surface. Before the trial blasting method I round a hammer, the intention is to make the barrier gap “block” is closed by tapping, in order to connect to the sheet, the effect is significant results. Using these methods can effectively avoid the appearance of white spots after dyeing the anodized film of aluminum castings, thereby ensuring its quality.

Advantages of casting
1. It can produce parts with complex shapes, especially blanks with complex cavities (such as heating)
2. Wide adaptability, metal materials commonly used in industry can be cast. A few grams ~ hundreds of tons.
3. Wide sources of raw materials. The price is low. Scrap, scrap, chips
4. The shape and size of the casting is very close to that of the part, reducing the amount of cutting, which is less and without cutting.
