Benefits of technology

This patented describes different ways to make sure that molten metal poured onto certain sections of a casting remains stable while still being able to absorb heat without losing its strength due to gravity forces. By controlling these temperatures within specific ranges, we aim to ensure efficient use of space and minimizing stresses caused by gravity movements. Additionally, the patents suggest increasing the speed at which the casting falls downward towards room temperature prior to entering the flask, reducing thermal strain and distortion issues. Overall, our technical results include improved quality and productivity of heavy metals castings produced under controlled conditions.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: Large size austenite stainable steels castings with high dimensions have their own challenges when they are produced at different stages such as ingot making, hot rolling into sheets, coating with protective coatings before being subjected to solidification processes like sintering. These issues may result from temperature changes caused by various factors including melting temperatures and crystal structures within the metal. Additionally, there has been concern about how excess strain on certain parts could affect its performance over longer periods without warming up again after use.

Embodiment Construction

[0028] This embodiment takes the casting process of the lower ring of the Three Gorges 700MW class as an example. The material of the lower ring is ZG06Cr13Ni4Mo martensitic stainless steel. The high-temperature boxing process applied to large martensitic stainless steel castings is as follows:

[0029] (1) Using conventional computer simulation methods, calculate the temperature field and stress-strain field of large martensitic stainless steel castings during the cooling process in the sand box;

[0030] In this embodiment, the specific process of calculating the temperature field of the large martensitic stainless steel casting in the sand box cooling process is as follows: based on the Procast casting finite element simulation software, the temperature field of the lower ring during the casting process is calculated, and the lower ring is first extracted. The temperature field at the end of pouring is used as the initial value for the calculation of the temperature field durin

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of casting processes of martensitic casts, in particular to a high-temperature shakeout process for a large-size martensitic stainless steel cast. The high-temperature shakeout process particularly comprises the following steps of: (1) selecting an area with highest cooling speed in the cast, wherein the time of temperature reduced to be higher than a start point of the martensitic phase transformation of a material by 50-100 DEG C is a reasonable shakeout time point; and (2) after the cast is shaken out, controlling the cooling speed of all parts of the cast to be basically equivalent to the cooling speed of the parts of the cast in a sand box by adopting a method for charging a furnace and cooling with the furnace or covering a heat-preserving materialand the like. According to the high-temperature shakeout process disclosed by the invention, the sand box occupying time of the cast is shortened by reasonably selecting a shakeout temperature control point and optimally controlling the cooling conditions of the cast after the cast is shaken out, and therefore, production efficiency is enhanced and the internal stress of the cast is ensured to becontrolled at a reasonable level without generating the phenomena of overstress, cracking, and the like. The invention can solve the problems of production efficiency reduction, production capacity limiting, and the like of an integral casting factory, which are caused by keeping the temperature of the cast in the sand box for a long time, in the prior art.
