Precautions for the Production of Alloy Investment Casting
Aluminum alloy die castings in the production processing must be heat treatment, in the heat treatment also has a lot of precautions. The first is to control its heating temperature to the right point, and the second is to ensure that its insulation time is long, can not let it cool too fast.
In dealing with this kind of die castings should also pay attention to keep its size stable, so as to have a good effect.
Annealing treatment will be aluminum alloy castings heated to a higher temperature, generally about 300 ℃, after a certain period of insulation, with the furnace cooling to room temperature process known as annealing.
In the process of annealing, the solid solution breaks down and the second phase particle gathers, which can eliminate the internal stress of the castings, stabilize the casting size, reduce the deformation and increase the plasticity of the castings. The solidification treatment heats the castings to the highest possible temperature, is close to the melting point of the eutectic, maintains a long enough time at that temperature, and then cools quickly, allowing the reinforced elements to dissolve to the maximum extent possible, and this high temperature state is fixed to the room temperature, a process known as solid dissolution treatment. The solid solubility treatment can improve the strength and plasticity of the castings and improve the corrosion resistance of the alloys.
