Design on Transfer Piping of Molten Metallic Materials for Squeeze Casting

Article Preview

Abstract:

The spout at the connection of the pipe and the chamber is easily clogged when a large amount of molten metal is conveyed to the chamber in squeeze casting for large parts. In order to reduce the chances of clogging and clean up quickly when clogged, a quickly removable pipe is designed. The pipe is heated through thermal conduction by resistance wire, and thermal equilibrium is used to derive the power of heating element. Solid-state regulator is applied to control the heating power. Molten aluminum is conveyed from furnace to chamber using electromagnetic pump. The experiment shows that the molten metal flowing through the pipe is smooth, and the temperature of molten metal can be maintained stability.
