Benefits of Mineral Casting
High precision
Machine tool mineral castings are characterized by high precision, and their manufacturing process is very exquisite, which can accurately control the size and shape of the castings. The precision of machine tool components manufactured using machine tool mineral castings can reach a very high level and can meet the needs of high-precision machine tools.
High stability
Machine tool mineral castings are also characterized by high stability because their material properties are very uniform, ensuring the stability of machine tool components. Moreover, because the manufacturing process of machine tool mineral castings is relatively mature, its quality is also very reliable and will not cause problems such as deformation due to changes in the environment.
High reliability
Machine tool mineral castings are made of high-strength, high-hardness materials and feature high reliability. This material can reduce mechanical wear, extend the service life of machine tool components, and improve machine tool reliability.
Long life
Machine tool mineral castings have some anti-wear and anti-fatigue additives added during the manufacturing process, so they have long service life. Compared with traditional iron castings, steel parts and other materials, machine tool mineral castings have a longer service life and can bring longer-lasting economic benefits.
Application of Mineral Casting
Mineral castings are widely used in manufacturing industries, such as machine tools, automobiles, aerospace and other fields. In high-precision machine tool manufacturing, machine tool mineral castings can greatly improve the accuracy of machine tools and improve the manufacturing efficiency of machine tools. In the automotive field, machine tool mineral castings can be used to manufacture automotive parts and enhance the structural strength and safety of automobiles. In the aerospace field, machine tool mineral castings can be used to manufacture high-strength, high-precision parts such as engine parts and seats.
What Is The Difference Between Mineral Castings and Traditional Castings?
Production process
Traditional castings are generally produced using sand molds, metal molds, etc. This production method is relatively simple and low-cost. Mineral castings are produced using professional molds such as plaster molds and light wave irradiation molds, which require more high-end production equipment and technology.
Material selection
Traditional castings usually use materials such as iron, steel, copper, and zinc. Mineral castings use some minerals with special physical or chemical properties as materials, such as gypsum, quartz, graphite, etc. This material can better meet the needs of some special processes and special materials.
Performance
Traditional castings perform fairly well in terms of heat resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and other properties, while mineral castings have superior performance in these aspects. For example, in terms of corrosion resistance, mineral castings have better corrosion resistance; in terms of fire resistance, mineral castings will not lose their structural retention ability due to the influence of high temperatures.
Mineral Casting Performance Requirements
Static Performance
The criterion for measuring the static performance of a base is usually the stiffness of the material - minimal deformation under load - rather than high strength. For static elastic deformation, mineral castings can be considered as isotropic homogeneous materials obeying Hooke's law. The density and elastic modulus of mineral castings are 1/3 of cast iron respectively. Since mineral castings and cast iron have the same specific stiffness, under the same weight, the stiffness of cast iron parts and mineral castings is the same without considering the influence of shape. In many cases, mineral castings are designed with wall thicknesses that are usually three times that of iron castings, and this design does not cause any problems with the mechanical properties of the product or casting.
Dynamic Characteristics
The greater the rotational speed and/or acceleration of the shaft, the more important the dynamic performance of the machine becomes. Rapid positioning, rapid tool change, and high-speed feed continuously enhance the mechanical resonance and dynamic excitation of machine tool structural parts. In addition to the dimensional design of the component, the deflection, mass distribution and dynamic stiffness of the component are largely influenced by the damping properties of the material. The use of mineral castings solves these problems well. Because its vibration absorption capacity is 10 times better than traditional cast iron, it can greatly reduce the amplitude and natural frequency.
In machining operations such as machining, it results in higher accuracy, better surface quality and longer tool life. At the same time, in terms of noise impact, through comparison and verification of bases, transmission castings and accessories of different materials for large engines and centrifuges, mineral castings also performed well. According to impact sound analysis, mineral castings can achieve a local reduction of 20% in sound pressure levels.
Thermal performance.
Experts estimate that approximately 80% of machine tool deviations are caused by thermal effects. Process interruptions such as internal or external heat sources, preheating, changing workpieces, etc. are all causes of thermal deformation. In order to be able to select the best material, it is necessary to clarify the material requirements. High specific heat and low thermal conductivity give mineral castings good thermal inertia against transient temperature effects (such as changing workpieces) and ambient temperature fluctuations. If, like a metal bed, rapid preheating is required or the bed temperature is prohibited, heating or cooling devices can be cast directly into the mineral casting to control the temperature. Using this temperature compensation device can reduce deformation due to temperature effects and help improve accuracy at a reasonable cost.
1) Raw material proportioning mineral castings are made of sand, filler, resin adhesive, curing agent, retarder and other raw materials in a certain percentage. The ratio of raw materials often has a greater impact on mineral castings. In addition, the type, hardness, particle size, shape and moisture content of sand and gravel will have a greater impact on the strength of mineral castings. Therefore, only through continuous research and development, testing and optimization of raw material ratio can better mineral castings be produced.
2) The process of uniform distribution and full mixing of various sands, fillers, adhesives and additives through a mixer or a CNC continuous mixer. The mixing time shall not be too short, otherwise the mixing is insufficient; At the same time, it is required to stir evenly to make the sand and gravel filler fully wetted, otherwise the performance of the products after casting will be affected.
3) The mold fabrication and component assembly shall pre fabricate the corresponding special mold, and integrate the damping characteristics of mineral casting materials such as wire pipes, hydraulic pipes, forklift grooves, cooling water pipes, chip removal grooves, steel parts and cast iron materials in other links into the mold in advance, so as to facilitate the overall casting and molding of the castings.
4) Pouring: Pour the fully mixed raw materials into the pre prepared mold. Similar to ordinary cast iron casting, this process should be completed as quickly as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce bubbles through mechanical vibration, so that raw materials can be quickly and tightly combined. Compared with the casting of cast iron, the casting is completed at room temperature, with low energy consumption, meeting the requirements of low-carbon, energy-saving and environmental protection.
How to Maintain Mineral Casting
Cleaning and maintenance: During the use of mineral casting, it is easy to accumulate dust, oil and other impurities, which will affect the service life of the casting. Regular cleaning of the surface of castings can effectively prevent the accumulation of dust, oil and other impurities and extend the service life of castings.
Lubrication and maintenance: Lubrication is often one of the key factors in the service life of mineral castings. When using castings, parts need to be lubricated regularly to reduce friction between parts and prevent wear of moving parts. In addition, you can also choose high-quality lubricating oil and refueling equipment to ensure the lubrication effect.
Anti-corrosion maintenance: During long-term use, mineral casting is easily corroded by gas, moisture, etc. in the environment. If anti-corrosion treatment is not carried out, the aging and damage of castings will be accelerated. For castings made of different materials, different anti-corrosion methods can be adopted, such as coating with anti-corrosion paint, galvanizing, etc.
Temperature maintenance: Temperature is also an important factor affecting the service life of mineral castings. Therefore, when using castings, you need to pay attention to the ambient temperature to avoid castings being exposed to high or low temperatures for a long time. If the casting is exposed to a high temperature environment for a long time, the casting will be deformed or even damaged due to the thermal expansion of the metal.
Maintenance records: For important mineral castings, every maintenance situation needs to be recorded during use. This helps to detect problems in time and solve them in time, and also helps to extend the life of castings.
