The complete process of aluminum alloy casting and smelting

Author:


Equipment Check: Ensure that the electric furnace, thermometer, cooling system, and other equipment are in normal working order

  I. Pre-melting Preparations

  1. Equipment Inspection: Ensure that the electric furnace, thermometer, cooling system, and other equipment are in normal working order.

  2. Raw Material Ratio: Determine the mixing ratio of primary aluminum, recycled aluminum, and alloying elements according to product requirements.

  3. Furnace Pre-treatment: Clean the furnace and preheat to 300-400℃ to remove moisture.

  II. Melting Stage Control

  1. Temperature Management: Use a gradient heating method to stably control the furnace temperature in the range of 720-880℃.

  2. Melt Treatment: Perform slag removal every 30 minutes to maintain a clean melt surface.

  3. Component Adjustment: Real-time monitoring of the aluminum melt composition through spectral analysis, and timely supplement of alloying elements.

  III. Casting Process Implementation

  1. Mold Preparation: Steel molds should be preheated to 200-250℃ and sprayed with a release agent.

  2. Pouring Operation: Use a low-position pouring method, controlling the aluminum melt flow rate at 0.8-1.2m/s.

  3. Degassing Treatment: Use a vibration degassing device to eliminate bubbles in the melt.

  IV. Post-processing and Quality Control

  1. Cooling Specification: Castings are cooled in a special cooling box at a rate of ≤15℃/min.

  2. Aging Treatment: Select the appropriate aging temperature and duration according to the alloy grade.

  3. Defect Detection: Conduct internal quality inspection of castings through X-ray and ultrasonic testing.

  Complete process control and strict process execution are the core elements to ensure the quality of aluminum alloy castings.
