Table 2.12 shows some examples of gasses solubility, typical inclusions occuring in the castings due to the gases and treatment £22j .

It is clear that hydrogen, oxigen, sulphur and carbon are the most likely examples of gas contamination in industrial cast metals.

However nucleation and growth of

In some cases cavities may originate due to the vo­ lumetric contraction on freezing and they then act as free space volumes into which the gas diffuses when it exceeds the solubility lim it.

Both the macro-and micro-pattern of gas cavity dis­ tribution (Pig.2.19) are related to the type of crystal forming, and the direction of solidification . Por example, they my forla between the arms of dendritic crystals, but when formed at the end of solidification they are mainly located at the boundaries between crystals,

Ih addition to the gases dissolved in alloys during

melting further gassing of castings can occur during the

mould fillin g stages

of

the casting process. 3h general,

gas holes

can arise

in

castings from the

following

number

of causes

t

 

 

 

 

1- due to

unsatisfactory quality of a liquid metal because

of its

high gas saturation and the extensive extraction

Of the

gas during

the solidification

process.

Gases

may be

absorbed in a molten metal in

t

 

^a) furnace from the atmosphere and from wet charges;

(b)the furnace or ladles from incompletely dried linings or wet tools, and

(c)passing through air from furnacesto ladle or from ladle to mould.

Cooling in the mould the metal evalves dissolved ga­ ses forming gas holes situated across the whole casting 85 small gas bubbles or pinholes as it has been said above,

2- as the result of chemical reactions taking place in the molten metal during cooling and solidification , for example, an origin of blow holes in cast steel ingots as the result of the well-known reaction s

PeO Ф C = Pe + CO

Blowholes may also occur as the result of the rea­ ction between manganese and sulpher at their high content in the metal.

In steel castings subsurface pinholes can result fro; incomplete deoxidation of the molten metal.

3- due to high gas creatability of moulding end core mix­ tures as the result of the reaction of the molten metal with the mould or core materials. In some cases fumes

or hydrocarbons are generated when the molten metal comes into contact with the oil-binder of the core . ha other cases surface reactions cause subsurface porosity or pin­

holes. in aluminium alloys containing more than about

1 per cent of magnesium, a reaction tends to occur betw­

een the magnesium of the alloy

and the water vapor of the

mould :

it are the result. Some copper-base and other alloys a±e subjected to similar defects unless proper precautions are observed;

4— Because

of low permeability of moulds and cores and

their insufficient or incomplete ventilation. These

phenomena may be caused by different

sources.

They are*

(a) the us© of fine

moulding sands,

(b)

the high content

of clay

or

binder,

(c)

the high degree

of overramming

the

mould,

(d)

the lack

vents or their blocking

due to

mi­

smatching or due to penetration of the metal or paste into vents , etc.

All of this hardens the removal of gases being formed during the fillin g the mould with molten metal and after that. Whenever the rate of evolution of gas exceeds the
