The technical parameters of the steel casting process are tailored to the specific type of casting, be it carbon steel or an alloy, as well as its shape, size, and individual production requirements. Below are some of the quintessential technical parameters for steel casting:
- Chemical Composition:
- Carbon (C): In carbon steel castings, carbon content typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.6%. This element dramatically impacts the steel's strength, hardness, and toughness. As carbon content rises, so does strength and hardness, though toughness might diminish.
- Manganese (Mn): Usually found between 0.5% to 1.5%, manganese enhances the strength and hardenability of the steel. It also marries with sulfur to mitigate sulfur's detrimental effects.
- Silicon (Si): Typically between 0.15% and 0.6%, silicon bolsters both the strength and hardness of the steel, while amplifying its deoxidation capabilities.
- Alloying Elements: In alloy steel castings, elements like chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), and vanadium (V) are incorporated based on the specific steel grade. These elements elevate steel casting characteristics by enhancing strength, hardness, wear, corrosion, and heat resistance.
- Melting Temperature:
- For standard steel castings, the melting range is between 1500°C and 1600°C. Such elevated temperatures ensure complete dissolution of alloying elements, yielding uniform molten steel composition. It also efficiently expels gases and impurities, thereby augmenting molten steel quality.
- Deoxidation Method and Deoxidizer Dosage:
- Ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, and aluminum rank among the commonly used deoxidizers. The chosen method and quantity hinge on the steel grade and desired molten steel quality. Aluminum, with its potent deoxidation prowess, is preferred for killed steel, typically added in measures of 0.02% to 0.05%.
- Pouring Temperature:
- Pouring temperatures generally span from 1400°C to 1500°C, influenced by casting dimensions and intricacy. For thin-walled and complex shapes, higher temperatures ensure excellent mold-filling, while for thick-walled castings, lower temperatures help reduce risks like shrinkage cavities and porosity.
- Performance Parameters of Molding Sand:
- Permeability: Molding sand must possess certain permeability to allow gases generated during casting to escape, preventing defects like gas holes. Permeability is adjusted based on casting size and type, usually ranging from 50 to 200.
- Strength: Molding sand requires ample strength to resist the molten steel's pressure and impact, curtailing mold breakage and sand inclusion defects. Wet strength ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 MPa, while dry strength ranges from 0.8 to 2.0 MPa.
- Refractoriness: The refractoriness of the molding sand is paramount, needing to withstand the intense conditions presented by high-temperature molten steel. Therefore, it must be robust enough, withstanding temperatures exceeding 1500°C, ensuring integrity throughout the process.
- Pouring Speed:
- The pouring speed significantly influences the casting's quality. A rapid pouring speed may introduce issues such as sand erosion and gas entrapment, while a slower speed could lead to incomplete pouring or cold shuts. For smaller castings, the pouring might span from mere seconds to a few minutes, whereas larger castings might require several hours. The ideal pouring speed is a delicate balance, tailored to the casting's unique requirements and conditions.
- Heat Treatment Process Parameters:
- Heat treatment is crucial for refining the structure and enhancing the properties of steel castings, involving processes like normalizing, annealing, quenching, and tempering. Typically, normalizing is conducted between 850°C and 950°C, with holding times adjustable based on casting thickness. Quenching occurs between 800°C and 900°C, whereas tempering happens between 500°C and 700°C. These parameters are meticulously selected according to the steel's grade and the specific performance requirements of the casting.
