The technical parameters of the steel casting process are tailored to the specific type of steel casting-be it carbon steel, alloy steel, or another variety. These parameters also depend on the casting's shape, size, and unique production needs. Below is a detailed breakdown of common technical parameters integral to the steel casting process:
- Chemical Composition:
- Carbon (C): In carbon steel castings, carbon content ranges from 0.1% to 0.6%. This element significantly influences the casting's strength, hardness, and toughness. Higher carbon content equates to enhanced strength and hardness, though it may compromise toughness.
- Manganese (Mn): Typically between 0.5% and 1.5%, manganese boosts steel's strength and hardenability and mitigates sulfur's detrimental impacts by bonding with it.
- Silicon (Si): Generally present from 0.15% to 0.6%, silicon enhances the steel's strength and hardness, while also improving its deoxidation capabilities.
- Alloying Elements: For alloy steel castings, additional elements like chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), and vanadium (V) are incorporated, their presence tailored to the specific steel grade. These elements elevate the steel's properties, enhancing strength, hardness, wear resistance, and more.
- Melting Temperature:
- General steel castings melt between 1500°C and 1600°C. This range ensures thorough dissolution of alloying elements, uniform composition, and effective removal of gases and impurities, thus enhancing the molten steel's quality.
- Deoxidation Method and Deoxidizer Dosage:
- Ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, and aluminum are common deoxidizers. The method and quantity depend on steel grade and molten steel quality demands. Aluminum, noted for its robust deoxidation ability, is frequently utilized for killed steel, typically added in quantities of 0.02% to 0.05%.
- Pouring Temperature:
- Pouring temperatures generally span from 1400°C to 1500°C, adjusted for casting size, shape, and complexity. Thin-walled, intricate shapes necessitate higher temperatures for better mold-filling, while thick-walled castings benefit from lower temperatures to mitigate shrinkage and porosity.
- Performance Parameters of Molding Sand:
- Permeability: Molding sand must possess a defined permeability to enable seamless gas expulsion during pouring, thus preventing gas-related defects. Permeability values relate to casting size and steel type, typically ranging from 50 to 200.
- Strength: Molding sand requires sufficient strength to endure the molten steel's pressure and impact, preventing mold damage and sand defects. Wet strength typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 MPa, while dry strength spans from 0.8 to 2.0 MPa.
- Refractoriness: The refractoriness of the molding sand is a critical factor, diligently designed to withstand the intense erosive forces of high-temperature molten steel. It is imperative that this refractoriness exceeds 1500°C, ensuring durability and superior quality of the end product.
- Pouring Speed:
- The pouring speed is a pivotal element in determining the casting's quality. A rapid pouring speed can lead to undesirable defects such as sand washing and entrapped gas, which compromise the casting's integrity. Conversely, a sluggish pouring rate may cause incomplete pouring and cold shuts. For smaller castings, the pouring duration can vary from mere seconds to a few minutes, while larger castings may require several hours. Hence, the pouring speed must be meticulously tailored to the specific casting size and complexity.
- Heat Treatment Process Parameters:
- Steel castings undergo essential heat treatment processes to enhance their internal structure and mechanical properties. Techniques such as normalizing, annealing, quenching, and tempering are employed. Normalizing occurs at temperatures between 850°C and 950°C, with holding times adjusted for casting thickness. Quenching is typically executed at 800°C to 900°C, followed by tempering at temperatures ranging from 500°C to 700°C. These parameters are precisely determined based on the steel grade and desired casting performance, ensuring optimal strength and resilience.
