Definitions

  • the invention relates to ceramic filters for the filtration of molten metal from a bonded or sintered ceramic body containing a multiplicity of flow paths for the flow through the molten metal.
  • molten metal contains penetrated solids which have a detrimental effect in the finished cast product. These penetrated solids appear as inclusions in the finished cast product after the molten metal has solidified and cause defects in the finished product.
  • the inclusions can come from various sources, for example from superficial oxide films and insoluble impurities such as carbides, borides and others.
  • Ceramic filters as described in US Pat. Nos. 3,893,917, 4,081,371 and 3,962,081, are particularly suitable for the filtration of molten metal. These ceramic foam filters with an open cell structure with a large number of interconnected cavities, which are surrounded by a network of ceramic in order to ensure winding paths through them, are particularly suitable.
  • Ceramic foam filters coated with US Pat. No. 4,302,502 were also known, in which a proportionally large activation layer is provided for the removal of specific impurities from the molten metal.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantage of the metal supernatant and, accordingly, to propose an improved ceramic filter for the filtration of molten metal which promotes the filtration of poorly flowable metal without building up an excessive metal supernatant.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved filter which avoids the need for excessive overheating in order to make the filter wettable.
  • this is done by means of a ceramic filter, characterized by a thin coating which extends completely through its expanses, made of an inorganic material which can be easily wetted by the molten metal and which has a thickness of 5 ⁇ up to 1 micron adheres to this ceramic body, and the coating is removed on contact by the molten metal.
  • the present invention accordingly describes a highly effective ceramic filter for the filtration of molten metal, which overcomes the problem of the poor flow behavior of metals, such as steel, and shows favorable wetting properties, without the excessive build-up of a metal protrusion and without the need for a strong one Overheating the metal.
  • the ceramic filter of the present invention comprises a bonded or sintered ceramic filter with a plurality of flow paths for the flow through the molten metal with a thin coating, bonded to the ceramic body and extending essentially over the entire extent of the inorganic material which is wetted by the molten metal. The coating is removed by the flowing molten metal.
  • the ceramic filter is preferably a ceramic foam filter with an open-cell foam structure and a multiplicity of interconnected cavities which are surrounded by a network of this ceramic.
  • the ceramic body preferably contains aluminum oxide as the ceramic material.
  • the preferred thickness of the coating is 10 to 100 ⁇ .
  • the coating is uniform in its layer thickness and contains, preferably for the filtration of steel, silicon dioxide.
  • the ideal situation a high filter efficiency, is achieved if the material of the base metal to be filtered does not properly wet the filter, but the inclusions that have to be removed are able to completely wet the filter material.
  • an aluminum oxide inclusion in steel completely wets a ceramic filter based on aluminum oxide, while steel only partially wets the filter.
  • the inclusions therefore have the tendency to leave the metal stream and adhere to the filter.
  • the base metal tends not to stay in contact with the filter or inclusions.
  • the base metal does not wet the filter and thus causes less attack on the filter material. This behavior represents the desirable situation as soon as the flow through the filter begins, ie when the filter is already cast on.
  • the ceramic body of the present invention is a bonded or sintered ceramic body with a large number of flow paths for the flow through the molten metal.
  • All known ceramic bodies can be used, e.g. extruded ceramic bodies, bodies made of sintered ceramic particles or preferably ceramic foam filters with an open cell structure, characterized by a large number of interconnected cavities, which are connected by a network of ceramic, and produce tortuous flow paths.
  • a particularly suitable ceramic foam filter is described in DE-OS 34 24 504.
  • a thin coating is applied to this ceramic body, this coating essentially extending through the entire body and the layer adhering to the body.
  • the coating is an inorganic material which is completely wetted by the molten metal and has a thickness of 5 ⁇ to 1 micron. In an expedient embodiment, the thickness of the coating is 10 to 100 ⁇ . This shows that the coating is very thin.
  • the coating is removed by contact with the molten metal, and after the start of the metal flow, the entire filter surface necessary for filter effectiveness is available.
  • the coating is preferably completely removed in less than 5 seconds, either by dissolution by the molten metal or by mechanical action of the molten metal on the ceramic network.
  • a coating is therefore preferred which is soluble or partially soluble in the molten metal.
  • a coating of less than 100 ⁇ is preferably used, although it is also possible.
  • coatings of up to 1 micron in particular if the mechanical action is used to remove the particular coating.
  • the coating should extend essentially through the entire ceramic body in a uniform layer thickness, although fluctuations in the layer thickness and uncoated sections are still tolerable. In order to promote wetting, however, the coating should extend over the entire network and should preferably be uniform.
  • the coating material should be a material that is not detrimental to the molten metal to be filtered or in the final cast product. Therefore, mechanical separation of the coating from the network is less desirable than solubility or partial solubility in the metal, since the mechanically separated coating parts can appear as inclusions in the final cast product. In addition, the coating material should not have any on the molten metal have a disadvantageous effect, which leads, for example, to reduced mechanical properties, increased grain size or undesirable second phases.
  • a colloidal silicon dioxide coating is used, particularly since it was found that this is particularly advantageous for steel filtration and that a suitable silicon dioxide coating can thus be achieved on the ceramic body.
  • the silicon dioxide coating in the amounts used has no adverse effects on the steel to be filtered. Silicon dioxide could have a disadvantageous effect at most in large quantities, which are not the subject of the invention.
  • the thin silicon dioxide coating according to the invention is also completely removed on contact with the molten steel.
  • an aqueous dispersion of a colloidal silicon dioxide is used, starting from a 0.5 to 10% concentrated colloidal silicon dioxide in water, preferably in a concentration of 1%.
  • Additives can of course be used in the aqueous dispersion, such as wetting agents, dispersants or organic materials which support the tendency to coat, etc.
  • the aforementioned dispersion is produced and the ceramic body is immersed in the dispersion in order to achieve a thin coating thereon, essentially through the entire ceramic body.
  • Excess material is removed, for example shaken off, the moist ceramic body is dried, for example after-fired at 93 to 149 ° C., preferably at 121 ° C., and at 982 to 1038 ° C. and preferably at 1000 ° C.
  • the temperature treatment should be high enough that the silicon dioxide does not hydrate again and adheres firmly to the ceramic body.
  • the drying and re-firing can take place in separate steps or continuously. It is not necessary to keep the temperature.
  • the material coated in this way was found to be particularly advanced for steel filtration.
  • silicon dioxide is an inorganic material that is easily wetted by the molten material and removed in contact with the molten metal.
  • Silicon dioxide is particularly preferred for steel filtration because it is extremely well wetted by steel and is easily detached from the molten metal.
  • suitable additional inorganic materials include, for example, an aqueous silicate dispersion, such as sodium silicate, and salts, such as sodium chloride or calcium chloride, the latter salts simply being dried on the network instead of being fired again. It is also possible to use oxides, such as those of calcium or magnesium, which can then be dried and burned as salts, for example as carbonates.
  • Metals such as nickel, iron and chromium can be used as organometallic solutions or dispersions for coating, followed by a drying process and a heat treatment to convert them to metal. Given the very small amount that is used for the coating, these metals are not troublesome.
  • the effectiveness of the coating composition according to the invention is the use of an inorganic material in a thin coating which is easily wettable by the molten metal and easily removable under the action of the molten metal. Because the coating is slightly wetted by the metal, the metal easily passes through the ceramic body and also the tortuous flow paths in the ceramic body when the preferred ceramic foam material is used, and the casting time and the metal excess can be considerably reduced.
  • the coated composition does not merely reduce the casting time. Rather, it was found that the coated filters surprisingly bring about a faster flow of the filtering process, for example the total material flow through the ceramic body according to the present invention is generally faster than through an uncoated ceramic body.
  • filters according to the present invention retain a higher flow rate after casting than uncoated filters. This is despite the fact that the coating is removed on contact with the molten metal. This may be caused by the faster casting of the entire ceramic filter and the faster flow through all pores in the ceramic filter body. This also represents a progress worth considering.
  • Bound ceramic filter body 18.7 mm thick, with an open cell structure, characterized by a large number of interconnected cavities, surrounded by a A network of ceramics, the filter body being based on an aluminum oxide ceramic, is predetermined. These filters used had 10 pores per cm. Samples of the filters were coated in accordance with the present invention by immersing the filter bodies in an aqueous dispersion containing 1% colloidal silicon dioxide for a short period of time, which ensured complete impregnation, in order to obtain a thin coating, dried at 121 ° C and baked at 1000 ° C. The thickness of the coating after firing was around 10 ⁇ and the coating was present in aggregates of silicon dioxide particles essentially distributed throughout the entire ceramic body.
  • Coated and uncoated filters 1.86 cm thick, were placed side by side in a pouring pan. Molten steel was directly from an induction oven poured into the casting crucible at a temperature of 1621 ° C. When the crucible is filled, the metallostatic pressure on the filter increases until the metal overhang reaches the height of the overflow. The time of filter wetting was determined by visual observation of the outflow side of the filter. The results showed that the coated filter wets 4 to 5 seconds earlier than an uncoated filter. The flow of the molten metal through the coated filter appeared to be very fluid, while the flow through the uncoated filter was very tough and slow in comparison.
