Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing workpieces or blocks from meltable materials, in which liquid starting material is solidified in a casting mold using a cooling device.
  • the invention relates to a device for producing workpieces or blocks of meltable materials with a casting mold, which can be heated by means of a heating device, and wherein a cooling device is assigned to the bottom of the casting mold.
  • tangible materials includes materials from ceramics, including sapphires, rubies, spinels, etc., metals, metal alloys, or from the group of semiconductors with an oriented, multicrystalline or monocrystalline structure .
  • the starting material is either fed to a casting mold in the liquid phase or melted in the casting mold and then solidified in a directed manner in the casting mold.
  • Such a type of solidification control is known in different embodiments. According to a method or a corresponding device, described in GB-A-2 279 585, the casting mold is melted out
  • CONFIRMATION COPY pulled out of a heater This ensures that the solidification front progresses from bottom to top. With long components and materials with low thermal conductivity, the influence of a cooling plate used becomes insignificant after just a few centimeters. Thereafter, the heat is dissipated essentially laterally over the mold surface, as a result of which the setting of a phase boundary that is as flat as possible between the already solidified and molten material is not achieved in practice. This process is unsuitable for the production of large-area, directionally solidified blocks, since with large cross-sections the heat conduction paths from the center of the block to the heat-dissipating lateral surface become too long and therefore no level phase boundaries in connection with sufficiently high temperature gradients can be achieved.
  • the present invention is based on the object of developing a method and a device with the features specified at the outset in such a way that the solidification of the melt is performed in a defined manner and, in order to initiate the cooling phase, continuously from the heating phase to the Cooling phase can be passed. Should continue the device and the method in relation to this defined solidification offer the possibility of a wide variation with structurally simple means.
  • the object is achieved in the method specified in the introduction in that for the defined guidance of the solidification front during the cooling of the molten material into a body assigned to the bottom of the casting mold, a cooling structure with at least one heat-conducting body is introduced into the body from at least one associated recess from the underside becomes.
  • the object is achieved in that the device specified at the outset is characterized in that the cooling device comprises a cooling structure with at least one heat-conducting body, which can be inserted into the body from at least one associated recess in a body assigned to the floor by means of a displacement mechanism from the underside is.
  • solidification of the liquid starting material filled into the casting mold can be performed in a defined manner starting from the bottom of the casting mold, by guiding the heat-conducting body in different positions in the recess of the body assigned to the bottom of the casting mold.
  • the heat transfer and thus the cooling capacity can be set and also changed in a defined manner.
  • crystallization speeds of 0.2 mm / min to 2 mm / min can be achieved with cooling capacities in the range from 10 to 150 k / W per m 2 .
  • the cooling structure can comprise a plurality of heat-conducting bodies which can be inserted into slots and / or blind holes in the body which is assigned to the bottom of the casting mold.
  • plates, bolts and / or rods are suitable as heat-conducting bodies, which can also be constructed with different cross-sectional geometries.
  • a heating device is arranged below the bottom of the casting mold in such a way that the heating element or bodies penetrate this heating device through the heating device into the body which is assigned to the underside of the floor in the inserted state.
  • the transition between heating and cooling of the casting mold can be determined not only by introducing the heat-conducting bodies into the recess (s), but also by additional regulation of the heating device, since it is also essential for maintaining the liquid phase of the starting material is to heat the bottom of the mold.
  • the heating device can be arranged in a support plate which is assigned to the bottom of the casting mold and from which the casting mold is carried. The support plate is then provided with bores or recesses, which serve to change the total external surface available for heat transfer in a wider area than would be possible solely via the base of the base of the casting mold.
  • Preferred dimensions of such heat-conducting bodies are from 5 mm to 20 mm, preferably from 10 mm to 14 mm, in diameter or thickness and / or width.
  • the web width remaining between adjacent recesses should also be between 5 and 20 mm in the body into which the heat-conducting bodies are inserted.
  • the depth of the heat-conducting body introduced into the body should be at least 20 mm in order to be able to adjust the cooling capacity in sufficient areas.
  • the individual heat conducting bodies can, however, have a much greater length than the depth of penetration corresponds to 50 mm, ie the height of the heat-conducting body can be between 100 and 150 mm, preferably about 130 mm.
  • the heat conducting bodies are designed as round pins.
  • the diameter of such a heat-conducting body in the design as a round bolt should not be less than 10 mm.
  • the ratio between the effective exchange area and the flat area is, however, with a remaining web width of 10 mm in the pin diameter range between 10 and 20 mm, almost independent of the selected pin diameter.
  • the individual heat-conducting bodies can have a cross-shaped or star-shaped shape when viewed in cross section. Such heat-conducting bodies then enter recesses in the body assigned to the bottom of the casting mold with a cross-sectional shape matched thereto, so that large areas are made available, both in the recesses and on the cooling bodies.
  • the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the heat-conducting bodies to the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the recesses should be between 1.5: 1 and 5.5: 1. This results in possible cooling capacities of around 10 to 150 kW / m 2 .
  • the displacement of the heat-conducting bodies in the recesses of the body can be technically easily achieved by means of a lifting mechanism.
  • a stroke of 50 mm and a heat-conducting body made of copper with a diameter of 12 mm and an effective heat-conducting body height of 130 mm and a hole spacing of 26 mm and a hole diameter of 14 mm the heat transfer coefficient at 1000 mbar argon atmosphere between the base plate and the heat-conducting body can be at a base plate temperature from 1400 ° C from 10 W / (m 2 x K) to about 240 / (m 2 x K). These values correspond to approximately 1400 to 1500 thermal conductors per square meter.
  • the heat loss through the thermal insulation is negligible due to the small ratio of diameter to bore length, so that the heat losses due to the open penetration are justifiable when the cooling structure is withdrawn. Furthermore, by lowering the gas pressure to a few mbar, it is possible to regulate the dissipated power density even more sensitively.
  • the entire cooling structure can be arranged in a chamber that is variable in terms of pressure.
  • the body is an integral part of the bottom of the casting mold and, moreover, this bottom is also structured, for example with elevations and depressions, the respective heat-conducting bodies in corresponding bores in the elevations of the bottom of the casting mold can be driven in or pulled out.
  • the arrangement according to the invention enables the setting of a heat profile directly above the mold or mold bottom surface.
  • This particular configuration of the bottom of the mold or of the casting mold, in the region of the depressions, seen from the bottom surface, can influence the stem crystal size.
  • the deepest points of these individual depressions are aligned with the corresponding heat-conducting bodies in such a way that crystallization begins at the deepest (coldest) points on the mold bottom.
  • a slightly planar or slightly convexly curved phase boundary between solid and liquid material can be set. Studies have shown that a slightly curved phase interface is particularly advantageous with the aim of cleaning in directional solidification.

  • FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of FIG. 1, but with heat-conducting bodies inserted into the recesses

  • the thermal insulation 2 is provided with a lateral thermal insulation 14, a lower thermal insulation 16 and an upper thermal insulation 20, so that the mold is surrounded on all sides by this thermal insulation 2.
  • the upper furnace chamber 1a is connected to the lower furnace chamber 1b with flange connections 12, in the area of which a seal 12a is inserted, so that the furnace chamber 1a, 1b can be opened and closed again by removing the upper furnace chamber 1a.
  • a lower heating device 3 is arranged below the bottom 19 of the mold 15. Furthermore, an upper heating device 4 is provided above the mold.
  • the two heating devices 3 and 4 are supplied with electricity via respective power supply lines 5 and 6 in order to be able to set the respective heating power 3, 4.
