Causes of formation:
a. The mold temperature is too high, and the temperature of the aluminum liquid is too high;

d. Poor venting;
e. Insufficient time to leave the mold, open the mold too early.
Preventive measures: 1, amend the mold cooling process, cooling the mold temperature to the normal working temperature; amend the melting process to ensure that the liquid aluminum temperature is normal; 2, slow down the filling speed, to avoid vortex package gas (can be controlled by the density of the screen, thickness, etc.); 3, the selection of a small amount of gas to the coating, spraying a thin and uniform layer of paint, thoroughly dry and evaporate after the mold; 4, to amend the time to stay in the mold, to ensure that the solidification of the full.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Causes of formation:
a. Charging too fast;
b. Too much and uneven amount of paint;
Preventive measures: 1. Reduce the filling speed; 2. Thin and uniform dosage of paint, following the principle of thin center and thick edge;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n8<\/strong>.deformity<\/h2>\n\n\n\nCharacteristics: the casting geometry does not match the design requirements of the overall deformation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Causes of formation:
a. Poor casting design, causing uneven shrinkage;
b. Open the mold too early, the casting is not rigid enough;
c, the mold pick mold tilt is too small, mold release difficulties;
d. Take and place the casting, improper operation;
e. The casting cools too quickly, causing deformation.
Preventive measures: 1, improve the casting structure, so that the wall thickness is uniform; 2, to determine the best time to open the mold, increase the rigidity of the casting; 3, to increase the casting pick mold slope; 4, take and put the casting, it should be light to take light to put; 5, after the mold is opened, the casting should be placed in the air to cool slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Shrinkage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Characteristics: Shrinkage of aluminum alloy castings generally occurs near the inner sprue, the thick part of the riser root, the rim wall, the thick and thin transfer parts of the spokes, and the thin-walled parts with large planes. In the casting billet is not processed when the fracture is gray, heat treatment fracture for gray light yellow or gray-black, in the X-ray projection, in the X-ray film is cloudy serious silk mesh, machining parts after processing is small and scattered pinholes. Shrinkage of castings can be found through X-ray, fracture and other inspection methods.
Causes of formation:
a. Poor riser shrinkage; b. Too much gas in the furnace material; c. Too high a temperature near the inner sprue; d. Too much moisture in the sand mold, and the sand core is not dried;
e. Improper spraying of mold coatings; f. Improper filling time of castings in the casting process; h. Too high temperature of aluminum liquid and too fast pouring speed.
Preventive measures:
1\u3001Supplement the aluminum liquid from the riser part and improve the gate design; 2\u3001The slagging and degassing treatment of aluminum liquid should be sufficient and thorough; 3\u3001Spokes shrinking part set cooling system or put cooling ring block (such as the mold inlaid with copper, etc.), etc. to reduce the temperature of the mold near the inner sprue; 4\u3001Control the moisture of sand to ensure that the sand core is baked and dry; 5\u3001Choose the right paint, formulate the corresponding paint mixing irrationality, change the coating spraying Choose the right coating, make the appropriate coating blending irrational, change the coating spraying method (the closer the gate the thinner the coating), and provide professional training to the relevant personnel; 6, change the casting in the casting filling time, adjust the process parameters; 7, real-time monitoring of the liquid aluminum temperature, control the pouring speed (increase the screen or change the shape of the screen and other ways).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n10<\/strong>. Mis-molding:<\/h2>\n\n\n\nCharacteristics: One part of the casting is misaligned with the other part at the parting surface, and a relative offset occurs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCauses of formation:
a, mold insert displacement (such as four slider did not close the mold in place);
b. Wear of mold guiding parts (wear of mold closing pins and sleeves);
c. Poor precision of mold manufacturing and assembly.
Preventive measures: 1, adjust the block, to be tightened; 2, the replacement of guiding parts; 3, correct the mold to eliminate errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
