Description
Verfahren zur Herstellung eines metallischen Gußteiles Process for the production of a metallic casting
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines metallischen Gußteiles nach dem Feingußverfahren, insbesondere eines Gußteiles aus Aluminium oder aus einer aluminiumhaltigen Legierung, mittels Einbrin- gen einer Metallschmelze in eine Gießform, insbesondere aus Keramik.The invention relates to a method for producing a metallic casting according to the investment casting process, in particular a casting made of aluminum or an aluminum-containing alloy, by introducing a molten metal into a casting mold, in particular made of ceramic.
Bei der Herstellung von metallischen Gußteilen, insbesondere aus hochfesten Legierungen, entstehen häufig beim Abkühlen Risse, die sogenannten Warmrisse, die sich in den mechanischen Eigenschaften sehr negativ bemerkbar und oftmals die Gußteile unbrauchbar machen.In the production of metallic castings, in particular from high-strength alloys, cracks, the so-called warm cracks, often occur during cooling, which have a very negative effect on the mechanical properties and often make the castings unusable.
Problem der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, diesen Nachteil zumindest zu vermindern bzw. zu vermeiden. Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 sowie durch ein metallisches Gußteil nach Anspruch 8 gelöst .The problem of the present invention is therefore to at least reduce or avoid this disadvantage. This problem is solved according to the invention by a method according to claim 1 and by a metallic casting according to claim 8.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Herstellung eines metallischen Gußteiles nach dem Feingußverfahren, insbesondere eines Gußteiles aus Aluminium oder aus einer aluminiumhaltigen Legierung, mittels Einbringen einer Metallschmelze in eine Gießform, insbesondere aus Keramik, ist (in diesem Fall wird die Gießform vor Eingießen der Metallschmelze auf eine entsprechende Tempe- ratur unterhalb der Solidus-Temperatur gebracht) oder wird (in diesem Fall wird die Gußform vor Eingießen der Metallschmelze auf eine Temperatur gebracht, die höher als die Solidus-Temperatur der Metallschmelze ist, wobei nach Einbringen auf eine entsprechende Temperatur unterhalb der Solidus-Temperatur abgekühlt wird) die Gießform nach Einbringen derart auf eine Temperatur unterhalb der Solidus-Temperatur der Metallschmelze gebracht, daß während der Phasenumwandlung flüssig-fest eine rißverursachende Ausdehnung oder Schwindung bereits erstarrter Bereiche der Metallschmelze unter- bleibt.In the method according to the invention for producing a metallic casting according to the investment casting process, in particular a casting made of aluminum or of an aluminum-containing alloy, by introducing a molten metal into a casting mold, in particular made of ceramic, (in this case, the casting mold is poured onto a corresponding one before pouring the molten metal Brought temperature below the solidus temperature) or is (in this case, the mold is cast before pouring the Brought molten metal to a temperature which is higher than the solidus temperature of the molten metal, cooling after introduction to a corresponding temperature below the solidus temperature) brought the mold after introduction to a temperature below the solidus temperature of the molten metal that during the phase change liquid-solid, a crack-causing expansion or shrinkage of already solidified areas of the metal melt does not occur.
Aufgrund dieser speziellen Verfahrensführung findet kein Spannungsaufbau statt, der häufig zu den oben erwähnten unerwünschten Warmrissen führt, so daß nach vollständiger Phasenumwandlung (flüssig-fest) das Guß- teil auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt werden kann.Because of this special procedure, there is no build-up of tension, which frequently leads to the undesirable hot cracks mentioned above, so that the casting can be cooled to room temperature after a complete phase change (liquid-solid).
Beispielsweise beträgt für die Aluminiumlegierung A201 die Solidus-Temperatur 535°C. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird insbesondere bei der Herstellung von Feingußteilen, insbesondere bei der Herstellung von Aluminium bzw. aluminiumhaltigen Legierungen verwendet.For example, the solidus temperature for the aluminum alloy A201 is 535 ° C. The method according to the invention is used in particular in the production of investment castings, in particular in the production of aluminum or aluminum-containing alloys.
Zunächst ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Metallschmelze zeitlich derart abgekühlt wird, daß die Dehnungsgeschwindigkeit der erstarrten Metallschmelze beim Abkühlen unterhalb der kritischen Rißentstehungsdeh- nungsgeschwindigkeit liegt, um im Vorfeld ein mögliches Potential zur Entstehung der unerwünschten Warmrisse auszuschließen .First of all, it is advantageous if the molten metal is cooled in time in such a way that the rate of expansion of the solidified molten metal during cooling is below the critical rate at which cracks develop, in order to exclude a possible potential for the development of the undesirable hot cracks in advance.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die erstarrte Metallschmelze zeitlich derart abgekühlt wird, daß wäh- rend einer Phasenumwandlung fest-fest eine rißverursachende Ausdehnung oder Schwindung von Bereichen der erstarrten Metallschmelze unterbleibt, um unerwünschte Spannungsrisse zu verhindern.It is also advantageous if the solidified metal melt is cooled in time in such a way that, during a phase change, solid-solid expansion or shrinkage of regions of the solidified metal melt does not occur in order to prevent undesirable stress cracks.
In der Praxis hat es sich als vorteilhaft heraus- gestellt, wenn die Abkühlung mittels eines Wärmeträgermediums kontrollierend gesteuert wird. Dabei kann es sich vorteilhafterweise um ein Wärmeträgermedium aus der Gruppe Wärmeträgeröle, Metallschmelze, Salzschmelze oder um einen mittels eines gasförmigen Mediums flui- disierten Feststoff in Granulatform, Puderform oder dergleichen oder aber um ein Gas handeln. Begründet ist dies in den thermophysikalischen Eigenschaften der erwähnten Wärmeträgermedien, die relativ hohe Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten bei niedrigem Temperaturgradienten gewährleisten können.In practice, it has proven to be advantageous provided if the cooling is controlled by means of a heat transfer medium. This can advantageously be a heat transfer medium from the group of heat transfer oils, molten metal, molten salt, or a solid in granular form, powder form or the like, which is fluidized by means of a gaseous medium, or else a gas. This is due to the thermophysical properties of the heat transfer media mentioned, which can ensure relatively high cooling rates with a low temperature gradient.
Ein nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestelltes metallisches Gußteil weist quasi keine Warmrisse auf, was in Abhängigkeit der Legierungszusammen- Setzung zu exzellenten mechanischen Eigenschaften führen kann.A metallic casting produced by the method according to the invention has virtually no hot cracks, which, depending on the alloy composition, can lead to excellent mechanical properties.
Die Erfindung wird anhand des nachfolgenden Aus- führungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the following exemplary embodiment.
Durch Begrenzung der Abkühlung nach der lokalen Erstarrung auf eine Temperatur unter Solidus wird die thermische Ausdehnung/Schwindung der bereits erstarrten Bereiche begrenzt und somit die Spannung im warmrißge- fährdeten Bereich derart reduziert, daß Warmrisse nicht auftreten. Nach vollständiger Erstarrung kann das Guß- teil durch beispielsweise Luft oder Wasser abgekühlt werden.By limiting the cooling after the local solidification to a temperature below solidus, the thermal expansion / shrinkage of the already solidified areas is limited and thus the stress in the hot crack prone area is reduced in such a way that hot cracks do not occur. After complete solidification, the cast part can be cooled, for example by air or water.
Eine filigrane Bauteilgeometrie wurde in der als warmrißanfällig geltenden Legierung A201: Cu4-5; Mn 0,2-0,4; Mg 0,15-0,35; Ti 0,15-0,35 Rest AI (Angaben in Gewichtsprozent) (Solidustemperatur 535°C) gegossen. Ein Gußteil wurde im Standardfeinguß mit 730°C Gießtemperatur und 750°C Formtemperatur gegossen. Ein weiteres Gußteil wurde mit ebenfalls 730°C gegossen. Die Form wurde jedoch nur auf 700°C vorgeheizt. Nach Abguß wurde die Form kontrolliert in einer elektrisch beheizten Abkühlanlage auf 400°C abgekühlt. Das Gußteil, welches in der Abkühlanlage abkühlte, war frei von Warmrissen. Durch gezielte Abkühlung kann eine Dehnungs- geschwindigkeit unterhalb der kritischen Dehnungsgeschwindigkeit für Rißentstehung eingestellt werden. Somit können auch Spannungsrisse aufgrund von Gefügeveränderungen, die mit Volumenveränderungen verbunden sind, vermieden werden.A filigree component geometry was used in the alloy A201: Cu4-5; Mn 0.2-0.4; Mg 0.15-0.35; Ti 0.15-0.35 balance AI (data in percent by weight) (solidus temperature 535 ° C) poured. A casting was cast in a standard investment casting with a casting temperature of 730 ° C and a mold temperature of 750 ° C. Another casting was also cast at 730 ° C. However, the mold was only preheated to 700 ° C. After casting the mold was cooled to 400 ° C in an electrically heated cooling system. The casting, which cooled in the cooling system, was free of hot cracks. By targeted cooling, an expansion rate below the critical expansion rate for crack formation can be set. Stress cracks due to structural changes associated with volume changes can thus also be avoided.
