Design and Application of Automatic Vacuum Slurry Tank in Investment Casting
Applying vacuum slurry dipping technology can solve the problem of bubble inclusion on the shell surface layer and greatly improve the surface quality of castings.This paper introduced the design and application of a kind of automatic vacuum slurry tank.At first,the performance parameters and technical requirements of the vacuum slurry tank were analyzed.Secondly,overall design of the vacuum slurry tank structure was completed,and the verifying calculation and optimization design were carried out for the stability of the vacuum vessel by using of ANSYS software.Finally,the prototype of the vacuum slurry tank was completed.The test shows that the prototype meets all of design objective requirements.The successful development of full-automatic vacuum slurry tank has achieved a breakthrough in domestic vacuum slurry dipping device which integrates flexibility,full automation and good vacuum performance.
