How does rubber precision casting technology produce products?
As a high-precision, high-quality metal processing technology, sol precision casting technology is playing an increasingly important role in the field of industrial manufacturing. So, how does it produce products? Let's introduce it in detail below.
1. The principle of sol precision casting technology
Sol investment casting technology is a rapid prototyping processing technology. Different from traditional casting methods, it uses polymer materials as casting molds, combining precision casting molds with conventional casting. The usual production process is as follows:
1. First, the high-performance refractory material is further finely processed to make a precision wooden mold.
2. According to the geometric shape and size of the required product, make a precision casting mold core.
3. Load the precision mold core into the precision casting mold.
4. Pouring high-temperature molten metal or alloy material to fill it into the mold core.
5. After the metal or alloy material is cooled and solidified, the precision casting mold and mold core are removed to obtain the required precision casting.
Second, the advantages of sol precision casting technology
Compared with other metal processing methods, sol investment casting technology has the following advantages:
1. High precision: The fine processing of the mold and the optimization of the mold material ensure the high precision and surface quality of the casting.
2. High quality: By designing a suitable gating system, defects in castings are avoided and the high quality of castings is ensured.
3. Low material waste: due to the use of a one-time casting mold, there is no need to spend money to remake casting core samples that affect efficiency.
4. High production efficiency: With this processing technology, the production efficiency can be greatly improved, while the overall cost performance of production is maintained, and the production cost and energy consumption are reduced.
5. Fast response: short production cycle, fast response, more and more recognized by the market, used in the production of automobiles, medical, aviation and other fields.
3. How to shape the product
1. Design casting mold
For the casting mold, its design is very critical, which directly determines the molding quality of the product. Therefore, when designing the mold, we must consider the following points:
① Design a reasonable model according to the actual functional requirements and the structural characteristics of the parts.
② Refining the mold to ensure its output accuracy.
③ Select high-quality template materials to ensure stable characteristics before and after casting.
2. Casting core sample making
The casting core sample is an essential part of the casting mold to ensure the precision and surface quality of the casting during the casting process. In sol investment casting technology, casting core samples usually need to follow the following rules:
① Select appropriate materials, such as polymer materials such as wax models.
② Ensure the accuracy of core sample making to ensure good support for the formed casting.
③ Confirm that the shape of the casting core sample meets the requirements of the product, and at the same time avoid the influence of the protruding part of the core sample on the casting.
3. Pouring casting
When casting, we need to pay attention to the following points:
① The metal condition must be good, otherwise it will affect the quality of the casting after forming.
② The gating system is well designed to ensure that the casting material is balanced, and it is not easy to produce pores and shrinkage porosity.
③ Confirm the pouring time during the casting process to ensure the strength and surface quality of the casting.
4. Removal of cast core samples
Casting core samples are the only way to shape castings. For example, for the manufacture of a fixed wheel axle structure product, a hollow tube must be arranged in the middle of the wheel of each axle. After the casting is completed, it needs to be desolidified and solvent-removed to clean the precision casting mold and core samples to ensure the surface quality and strength.
4. Application of sol precision casting technology in production
Because sol precision casting technology has the advantages of high precision, high quality, and high production efficiency, it has been widely used in many fields such as machinery, automobiles, electronics, medical treatment, and military affairs. Let's take a look at its application in various fields:
1. Application in the automotive industry
Sol investment casting technology is widely used in the automobile industry, and has the characteristics of good writing property, high strength and light weight. For example, various precision castings are required in parts such as automobile engines and chassis, which can be manufactured by this technology.
2. Application in electronics industry
In the electronics industry, there are many metal key components that require high-precision manufacturing to ensure the performance of electronic devices. Sol investment casting technology can ensure the high precision of the manufacturing of key metal parts, and plays a very important role in the realization of the functions of electronic equipment.
3. Application in medical machinery
In the field of medical equipment manufacturing, it is necessary to manufacture various complex shapes and high-precision instruments and equipment, and sol precision casting technology has become an indispensable manufacturing method in this field. Whether it is a surgical instrument or an artificial organ, its precision requires extremely high manufacturing standards, and this also requires sol precision casting technology to ensure its quality.
4. Applications in the military field
In the military field, various components with high manufacturing costs require high-precision manufacturing. Where precision metal parts need to be manufactured, huge investment is required, and through sol precision casting technology, the production cost of these products will be reduced, and the production efficiency and quality will be greatly improved.
All in all, sol investment casting technology plays a pivotal role in various fields. In the future development, we can also see more advantages and innovations brought by this technology.
