The present disclosure claims the priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Dec. 13, 2021 with the filing No. CN202111514160.4, and entitled “High-inertia Mold Shell for Casting and Preparation Method thereof and Method for Improving Precision of Magnesium Alloy Cast”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in entirety.
The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of casting, and specifically relates to a high-inertia mold shell for casting and a preparation method thereof and a method for improving precision of a magnesium alloy cast.
In the prior art, the magnesium alloy is generally prepared by sand casting or pressure casting. A mold cavity for sand casting is usually made of sand, and a binder of the sand is generally resin or aluminum trioxide (clay), etc.
During sand casting, components such as sulfur, carbon powder, and boric acid are usually added to a surface layer, wherein the sulfur is oxidized when being heated to generate sulfur dioxide, and the sulfur dioxide reacts with magnesium in a magnesium-alloy pouring liquid to generate magnesium sulfide. The magnesium sulfide is a dense layer and forms a protective film so that the magnesium no longer continues to react with the sand; if the magnesium sulfide dense layer cracks, it will react with sand (e.g., silica) and the heat it conducts causes the boric acid to lose water and generate an enamel layer, preventing the magnesium liquid and the sand from further reaction. As the boric acid has a boiling point about 300° C., and the temperature of the mold cavity is a normal temperature in the sand casting, the problem of protection for the magnesium alloy in the sand casting can be solved by adding the boric acid to the sand mold and cooperating with sulfur.
However, in the precision casting of magnesium alloy, the surface layer of the mold shell is usually added with boric acid, but sulfur is not added, because if the sulfur is added, the sulfur will burn and volatilize during calcination. However, as the mold shell also should be subjected to a high-temperature sintering treatment, boric acid having a low boiling point is easy to volatilize during the high-temperature sintering, and the mold shell has a relatively high porosity after sintering, the magnesium alloy pouring liquid will react with oxygen (through pores), and a large amount of heat is generated from the reaction to raise local temperature of the magnesium alloy pouring liquid, so that the magnesium alloy pouring liquid further reacts with the mold shell (main components thereof are silicon oxide and aluminum oxide), that is, the high-temperature magnesium alloy pouring liquid will directly react with the mold shell, and cannot play a role in protecting the magnesium alloy, so that the investment casting of magnesium alloy becomes a problem in the industry.
Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop a high-inertia mold shell applicable to precision casting of magnesium alloy.
The present disclosure provides a high-inertia mold shell for casting, including a surface layer, which is configured to contact a magnesium alloy pouring liquid, wherein the surface layer contains an inorganic compound, and the inorganic compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of boric anhydride, borax, potassium fluoride, and sodium fluoride; and in the above, based on a total amount of raw materials of the surface layer, a content of the inorganic compound accounts for 10-40 wt %.

For numerical ranges, one or more new numerical ranges can be obtained by combining endpoint values of various ranges, endpoint values and individual point values of various ranges, and individual point values, and these numerical ranges should be considered as disclosed herein.
As described in the preceding, the present disclosure provides a high-inertia mold shell for casting, including a surface layer, which is configured to contact a magnesium alloy pouring liquid, the surface layer contains an inorganic compound, and the inorganic compound satisfies that the inorganic compound has a melting point lower than the temperature of the magnesium alloy pouring liquid and a boiling point higher than the temperature of the magnesium alloy pouring liquid; in the above, based on a total amount of raw materials of the surface layer, a content of the inorganic compound accounts for 10-40 wt %.

A suitable amount of specific inorganic compound is used in the present disclosure. The inorganic compound does not volatilize during sintering of the mold shell; during pouring, the inorganic compound will form a molten state due to the high-temperature action of the magnesium alloy pouring liquid, can fill pores in the surface layer of the mold shell, and can well isolate magnesium and the mold shell, and avoid reaction of the magnesium alloy with SiO2 and Al2O3 in the mold shell; the boiling point of the inorganic compound should not be too small, as the inorganic compound will volatize and cannot form protection if the boiling point is smaller than the temperature of the magnesium alloy pouring liquid or the calcination temperature of the mold shell. Under the same condition, if the amount of the inorganic compound is too large, the strength of the mold shell will be affected, and the surface layer will be caused to fall off and swell, and if the amount of the inorganic compound is too small, a dense film cannot be effectively formed, thus a good protective effect cannot be achieved.
Due to the above protection principle, the high inertia effect of the present disclosure can be achieved without limiting the porosity of the mold shell in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the content of the inorganic compound accounts for 10-30 wt %. In some embodiments, the proportion of the content of the inorganic compound may be, for example, any value of 11 wt %, 12 wt %, 13 wt %, 14 wt %, 15 wt %, 16 wt %, 17 wt %, 18 wt %, 20 wt %, 24 wt %, 26 wt %, 28 wt %, and 30 wt % or any value between two adjacent point values. With the content of the inorganic compound being within the above range, the content of the inorganic compound is appropriate, a protective film with a suitable thickness can be obtained, and meanwhile the raw materials are saved. Optionally, the content of the inorganic compound accounts for 11-16 wt %. In this optional embodiment, the content of the inorganic compound is more appropriate, the protective film with a more appropriate thickness can be obtained, and meanwhile the raw materials are further saved.

The boiling point of the inorganic compound is 1000° C. or more, and may be any value of 1000° C., 1050° C., 1100° C., 1150° C., 2000° C., 3050° C., etc., and any value between adjacent point values.

Secondly, a reaction B2O3+3Mg=2B+3MgO was taken place, and a simple substance boron generated was embedded into a surface film of magnesium oxide to enable the same to become a dense oxide film, thereby achieving the purpose of isolating the magnesium and the mold shell, thus producing a stronger protective effect in cooperation with the blocking melt solution.

The present disclosure provides a high-inertia mold shell for casting and a preparation method thereof and a method for improving precision of magnesium alloy cast. The high-inertia mold shell for casting provided in the present disclosure overcomes the defect existing in the prior art that the mold shell cannot protect the magnesium alloy in precision casting of the magnesium alloy cast. In the precision casting of magnesium alloy, as a dense protective film can be formed during pouring, the magnesium in the magnesium alloy pouring liquid is prevented from being consumed (for example, oxidized) in a large amount, thus the surface is complete after the magnesium alloy pouring liquid is solidified, further the precision of the magnesium alloy cast can be improved, therefore, the present disclosure has excellent industrial applicability.
