基于3D打印砂型铸造制浆转子的工艺研究

Optimization of the casting process of the pulping rotor

  • 摘要: 制浆转子传统的铸造工艺一般采用木模,但制浆转子复杂的结构增加木模的制作难度。木模制作周期最少20天,而3D打印砂型直接导入数模进行打印,制作周期仅需1天;木模制作成本高达几万元,而3D打印砂型省去了开模成本。3D打印砂型不用考虑起模斜度,造型、合箱生产效率高,尤其适用于结构复杂的制浆转子铸件。采用3D打印砂型重力铸造进行制浆转子的生产,并通过Procast软件进行模拟仿真,优化冒口尺寸等参数,提高制浆转子铸件工艺出品率。对优化后的制浆转子铸件进行化学成分分析、力学性能试验、超声波检测,以及三维扫描尺寸检测,结果证明:3D打印砂型生产的制浆转子铸件质量满足要求。

     

    Abstract: The traditional casting process for pulp rotors generally uses wooden molds, but the complex structure of pulp rotors increases the difficulty of making wooden molds. The minimum production cycle for wooden molds is 20 days, while 3D printed sand molds can be directly imported into digital molds for printing, with a production cycle of only 1 day; The production cost of wooden molds can reach tens of thousands of yuan, while 3D printing sand molds eliminate the cost of mold making. 3D printing sand molds do not need to consider the starting angle of the mold, and have high efficiency in molding and box production, especially suitable for complex structured pulp rotor castings. Therefore, this article adopts 3D printed sand mold gravity casting for the production of pulp rotor,and simulates it through Procast software to optimize parameters such as riser size and improve the process yield of pulp rotor castings. Finally, chemical composition and mechanical properties, ultrasonic internal inspection, and 3D scanning dimension inspection were conducted on the optimized pulp rotor castings. The results showed that the quality of the pulp rotor castings produced by 3D printed sand molds met the requirements.
