Description
Verfahren zum Giessen von Schwermetallen. Im schweizerischen! Patent Nr. 214438 ist ein Verfahren zum Giessen von Leicht metallen unter Schutz gestellt, bei dem das Vergiessen des Metalles unter Druck erfolgt.
Es wurde nun gefunden,, dass dieses Ver fahren auch beim Vergiessen von Schwer metallen mit besonderen Vorteilen verwen det werden kann.
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher ein Verfahren zum Giessen von Schwermetallen, das dadurch gekennzeich net ist, dass man den mit flüssigem Schwer metall gefüllten Behälter und die Giessform im Innern einer Druckkammer anordnet und gemeinsam einem Gasdruck von 5-20 Atü aussetzt, worauf das flüssige Metall in die Form überführt wird.
Insbesondere eignet sich das beschrie bene Verfahren zum Beispiel für das Giessen von solchen Schwermetallen und Schwer metallegierungen, die bei der giesstech nischen Verarbeitung dazu neigen, aus der umgehenden Atmosphäre Gas aufzunehmen. Es sind dies in besonderem Mass Bronzen und nickelhaltige Legierungen, insbesondere Neusilberlegierungen. Auch Gusseisen nimmt gern Gase auf, die als Verbrennung.spro- dukte der Form- und Kernsandbeimengun- gen auftreten. Diese Gasaufnahme führt zu Feinlunkern.
Es ist zwar bekannt, da.ss man zur Er zielung besserer Materialqualitäten Guss- stüeke unter Druck erstarren .la.ssen kann. In dem bekannten Verfahren werden die Gussstücke jedoch erst nach dem Füllen, der Form einem Druck ausgesetzt. Diese Ar beitsweise hat den Nachteil, dass die durch den Schmelzprozess in .die Schmelze gelang ten Gase nicht in Lösung gehalten werden, da sie während des Giessvorganges unter normalem Atmosphärendruck stehen und weitgehend aus der Schmelze austreten kön nen.
Ein weiterer Nachteil des bekannten Verfahrens ist darin zu sehen, dass bereits unmittelbar nach dem Einfüllen des Me- talles in die Form grosse Partien des Guss- etückes erstarren. Auf diese Teile bleibt der später einwirkende Druck ohne Einfluss.
Wenn dagegen Schmelze und Form in einer Druckkammer einem ausreichend grossen Druck ausgesetzt werden,, #so stellt sich bereits vor dem Guss ein Gleichgewicht ein, das die dem Druck entsprechende Gas menge in Lösung hält. Während des Giess prozesses wird dieses Gleichgewicht nicht, gestört, das heisst das gelöste Gas wird am Austreten aus der Schmelze und damit aus .dem Gusatüek gehindert.
Process for casting heavy metals. In Swiss! Patent No. 214438 is a process for casting light metals under protection, in which the casting of the metal takes place under pressure.
It has now been found that this process can also be used with particular advantages when casting heavy metals.
The present invention therefore provides a method for casting heavy metals, which is characterized in that the container filled with liquid heavy metal and the casting mold are arranged inside a pressure chamber and jointly exposed to a gas pressure of 5-20 atmospheres, whereupon the liquid Metal is transferred into the mold.
In particular, the method described is suitable, for example, for the casting of those heavy metals and heavy metal alloys that tend to absorb gas from the surrounding atmosphere during casting. These are in particular bronzes and alloys containing nickel, in particular nickel silver alloys. Cast iron also likes to absorb gases that occur as combustion products of the molding and core sand admixtures. This gas uptake leads to pinholes.
It is known that castings can be allowed to solidify under pressure in order to achieve better material quality. In the known method, however, the cast pieces are not subjected to pressure until the mold has been filled. This working method has the disadvantage that the gases that have entered the melt through the melting process are not kept in solution, since they are under normal atmospheric pressure during the casting process and can largely escape from the melt.
Another disadvantage of the known method can be seen in the fact that large parts of the cast piece solidify immediately after the metal has been poured into the mold. The pressure later acting on these parts has no influence.
If, on the other hand, the melt and mold are exposed to a sufficiently high pressure in a pressure chamber, an equilibrium is established even before casting, which keeps the amount of gas corresponding to the pressure in solution. During the casting process, this equilibrium is not disturbed, i.e. the dissolved gas is prevented from escaping from the melt and thus from the Gusatüek.
