The core of magnesium alloy continuous casting machine is continuous casting technology

Update time:2024-05-18

The core of magnesium alloy continuous casting machine is continuous casting technology. Continuous casting technology is a casting method that continuously injects liquid metal into one end of the mold and continuously pulls out the molding material from the other end. When the casting is pulled out of the metal mold for a certain length, it can be cut while pouring; It is also possible to stop pouring when the casting reaches a certain length to obtain a certain length of casting. Magnesium alloy continuous ingot casting machine can be used to cast various high-density plates, round bars, hollow tubes and other profiles.

The development of magnesium alloy continuous casting machines has changed the current situation of low efficiency and high consumption of metal materials, and has unparalleled technological advantages. Generally speaking, magnesium alloy continuous casting machines have the following technical characteristics:


1. Due to the rapid cooling of metals, their crystallization is fine, their structure is dense, and their mechanical properties are good; Continuous casting, the crystallization process will make the structure of the casting uniform throughout the entire length;


2. Due to the lack of gating, it can save metal usage and improve product yield;


3. Simplified the process, eliminated the need for styling and other procedures, and reduced labor intensity; The required production area has also been greatly reduced;


4. Continuous casting production is easy to achieve mechanization and automation, improving production efficiency.


5. If the high-temperature steel ingots obtained from continuous casting are immediately rolled, the heating process of the ingots before conventional rolling can be eliminated, which can greatly save energy and improve efficiency.


The feeding pot and related hot parts of the magnesium alloy continuous casting machine, as well as imported steel from Germany, are manufactured using optimized processes and have good high-temperature performance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and long service life. The solidification and insulation furnace of the magnesium alloy hot chamber die casting machine is well-designed and manufactured with excellent quality. The hot parts are made of imported steel, which is corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant. This series of furnaces can be used in conjunction with various hot chamber molds - casting machines, with low energy consumption, high condensation rate, complete gas protection devices, and uniform gas mixing.


A gas protection device with low energy consumption and high condensation rate, uniform gas mixing, stable flow rate, and sufficient protection. Equipped with an automatic switching device, the crucible is made of bimetallic composite steel plate, which is non polluting to magnesium liquid and has a long service life. The heating element works stably and has a long service life. Multiple thermocouples control the furnace and box temperature automatic alarm device, including over temperature alarm and leakage alarm.


Recycle and produce crude magnesium under vacuum conditions of 1200-1250 ℃ and 1.33Pa, and obtain finished magnesium ingots through flux refining, ingot casting, and surface treatment. The defect of Pijiang magnesium smelting: consuming 1 ton of metal magnesium ingot requires consuming 12-14 tons of dolomite; 8-10 tons of anthracite and bituminous coal; 5-6 tons of by-product recycled slag, which has not been found for better use in the past and pollutes the environment; The labor intensity is high, the dust pollution in the raw material workshop is severe, and the nickel content is too low. Flotation recovery is used, but impurity magnesium may not be easy to control.
