Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a vehicle wheel made of a light metal material, wherein the light metal material is introduced in liquid form into a mold cavity of a casting mold. Furthermore, the invention relates to a casting mold for the production of a vehicle wheel made of a light metal material, with a mold cavity for receiving the light metal material in liquid form forming moldings and an apparatus for producing a vehicle wheel.
  • the basis for driving safety and driving comfort for light-alloy wheels for cars are the unsprung masses, whereby it is crucial that the weight of the wheels is as low as possible. Due to the inertia and the rotational moment one strives to use light wheels. For this reason, on the one hand attempts to constructively implement lightweight construction of wheels. On the other hand, there are efforts to reduce weight through the selection of materials.
  • the prior art is currently cast or forged wheels of aluminum or magnesium alloys, which are made to a very high percentage by the low pressure die casting process.
  • the fixed clamping plate is adjoined in the axial direction by a casting unit, with which a melt flows through a mold cavity formed perpendicular to the dividing plane, ie through the mold. perpendicular to the parting plane of the two mold halves, is fed through a casting chamber through the fixed platen and the solid mold half of the mold.
  • the casting unit has for this purpose a usually hydraulically driven, movable in the casting chamber casting piston.
  • an ejection unit is integrated, which is usually also hydraulically driven to ejector ejector pins in the mold to move back and forth. These are passed through the movable platen to sweep the cast parts off the movable mold after opening the mold.
  • a core pulling device is present, the machine side, for example, consists of hydraulic cylinders, which are usually mounted on the movable platen, sometimes on the fixed platen.
  • the casting process in cold chamber casting plants is known to take place in four successive phases, namely the metering, the prefilling phase, the mold filling phase and the pressing phase.
  • the dosage can z. B.
  • the dosing times are typically between 3 s and 15 s, depending on the type of dosing and dosing quantity. With a relatively long dosing time there is a risk that a part of the melt already solidifies in the casting chamber.
  • the casting piston speed in the prefilling phase can typically be set in a range between 0.2 m / s and 0.6 m / s so that, on the one hand, the melt is conveyed as quickly as possible and, on the other hand, trapped air by overturning one before the other Casting piston constituting shaft of the melt, as far as possible avoided by spray formation and / or by reflection in G manrest Symposium.
  • the casting chamber is filled with melt and the casting piston conveys the melt into the vicinity of the gate.
  • the mold filling phase is as short as possible; it is usually between 5 ms to 60 ms in duration.
  • the casting piston moves the melt at high speed, typically adjustable in a range up to 10 m / s and more.
  • high pressures occur due to conversion of the kinetic energy into a pressure pulse, so that there is a risk of the mold being torn open.
  • Modern casting machines therefore have means to absorb the kinetic energy towards the end of the filling phase.
  • a pressure of 300 bar to 1500 bar, in some cases even more, is generally set by means of a multiplier.
  • the melt solidifies under pressure and trapped air during mold filling is compressed under static pressure.
  • the proportion of entrapped air in the volume porosity is small.
  • the volume porosity is usually made of voids, the cause of which is the insufficient supply of a shrinkage-related portion of the melt in the transition from liquid to solid.
  • the gates are usually thin-walled in proportion to the wall thickness of the castings, with the result that the melt in some areas of the casting is still liquid, while it is already partially solidified in the gate area, which is a further desserts no longer possible or at least more difficult.
  • the formation of a solidified edge shell in the casting chamber after dosing has the consequence that a portion of the melt neither for the mold filling nor for the make-up of the shrinkage-related portion in the mold cavity is available.
  • the pushing out of residual melt from the Gellorest Scheme for make-up requires a high emphasis.
  • the high pressures at the end of the mold filling phase and in the holding pressure phase require high holding forces of the mold, which have to be applied via the closing unit of the casting machine.
  • the high pressures require a relatively large thickness of the fixed platen and consequently a correspondingly long casting chamber, which in turn limits the filling level in the casting chamber to typically 15% to at most about 70%, with correspondingly large air volume of the casting chamber.
  • the conventional orientation of the casting unit relative to the closing unit requires relatively long flow paths of the melt in the casting chamber and in the casting system and often crimping of the casting system or of the anvil.
  • the application of high pressures can also lead to an elastic deformation of the solidified G cashrestes and the casting chamber in Gellorest Scheme and thereby for clamping the G manrestes in the casting chamber, so that under certain circumstances, high opening forces are required to tear the casting residue from the casting chamber. This can lead to a high and / or premature wear of the casting chamber and the casting piston.
  • the jamming of the casting residue in the casting chamber also often results in the application of an excessive amount of piston lubricant, which can lead to inclusions in the casting.
  • the method according to the invention offers the best prerequisites for meeting the above-mentioned increased demands in the methods and systems known from the prior art.
  • pressurized casting instead of the previously used Niederbuchkokilleng devisens in vehicle wheels with its limited possibilities or the conventional Kalthuntg intelligent processors for other castings with its current procedural disadvantages

  • the tempering of the casting mold according to the invention leads to a very fast and complete filling of the mold cavity, wherein segregation of the liquid light metal material is avoided.
  • the solution according to the invention allows a desired temperature level within the mold cavity, so that in addition to the uneven heating of the mold and the associated deformation of the casting chamber is avoided and thus the early solidification of the molten light metal material is prevented in certain areas.
  • the piston forces In addition to increasing the service life of the piston and the mold can be reduced in this way, the piston forces.
  • Through the use of pressurized casting and the temperature of the mold in different areas to different temperatures occur during the casting very low forces and there is a low turbulence or turbulence-free casting of the vehicle.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to have very small wall thicknesses or wall thicknesses of up to 1 mm in certain areas of the vehicle wheel, and even less in certain cases.
  • the possible reduction in the wall thicknesses makes it possible to design a vehicle wheel which has substantially better properties with respect to the crash behavior than known vehicle wheels.
  • the vehicle wheel produced by the method according to the invention can be optimized for a desired crash behavior.
  • the visible side of the vehicle wheel can be performed almost completely closed, without the weight of the vehicle is significantly increased.

  • a strength of the vehicle wheel-increasing structure may be located within such a disc-like design of the visible side.
  • the fact that the vehicle wheel can be completed in one casting reduces the machining required after casting by about 80% or more.
  • the lower post-processing required produces less waste, which helps to protect the environment.
  • the inventive method significantly reduces the casting time and allows a virtually burr-free casting, which also requires less use of raw materials and a lower energy requirement.
  • due to the rapid casting and solidification with casting skin an otherwise required thermal aging can be completely or partially eliminated.
  • the vehicle wheel produced by the method according to the invention has a low distortion, which also allows the required for a gloss turning fine gradations.
  • the lightweight construction achievable with the method according to the invention increases the range of motor vehicles equipped with such vehicle wheels, which contributes to a reduction in the burden on the environment.
  • the mold is heated to high temperatures, and in areas where the vehicle has a large cross-section, the mold is heated to low temperatures, so it is ensured that the melt in relatively narrow areas of the mold cavity remains liquid for a sufficient time to prevent premature solidification thereof, and that in comparatively broad areas of the mold cavity, the solidification sets in time. Overall, this results in a uniform solidification of the entire vehicle wheel to be cast.
  • the liquid light metal material is introduced at high speed of more than 5 m / s in the mold cavity.

  • the tuning elements 28 may also be revised or replaced after appropriate testing, so that a secure sealing of the mold 3 is ensured.
  • Fig. 12 is a view of another mold part of the mold 3 is shown, namely on the rigid mold half 4. This has a subsequent to the mold cavity 14 vent area 29, to which at the beginning of the casting process within the mold cavity 14 located air can escape.
  • the vent area is, as already mentioned, tempered to a substantially lower temperature than the other areas of the casting mold 3.
  • a tempered, labyrinth-like structure 30 is provided in the venting region 29, which makes it difficult for the liquid light metal material to escape from the mold cavity 14.
  • the region 29 can also have cross-sectional changes, surface enlargements or surface reductions and / or deflections.
  • the venting area 29 or a venting element 29 forming the venting element may be made of a different material than the other components of the mold 3.
  • copper materials, such as brass or bronze, for the vent area 29th be used.
  • the same or similar ventilation areas as the ventilation area 29 may be located at other locations of the mold cavity 14.
  • the ventilation region 29, which can also be referred to as a venting unit, by its own thermal management in conjunction with the described geometric shape allows the liquid light metal material itself braking system, so that, depending on the requirements variable with a full cross-section or reduced cross-section over one or more Bores 31 a connection to the vacuum unit 27 can be controlled specifically to be able to realize in this way short venting distances.
  • Some of these ventilation areas 29 may also be provided with vacuum valve connection or without subsequent vacuum connection can be used to serve the casting mold 3 in whole or in part as an overflow.
  • a closed belt or ring 32 can be seen, which is formed by an offset of the planes of the rigid mold half 4.
  • the tuning elements 28 On the ring 32 are in the closed state of the mold 3, the tuning elements 28 to ensure the tightness of the mold 3.
  • the ring 32 thus absorbs the forces occurring during casting.
