Since its establishment, XRD Graphite has been focusing on the development and machining of graphite products such as graphite crucibles and graphite hot zone. It has advanced CNC machines and machining centers It has excellent production technology and complete testing means. Due to its excellent performance and stable quality, it has received praise from domestic and foreign users.
In recent years, the rapid development of the mould industry, graphite materials, new processes and an increasing number of mould factories continue to hit the mould market. Graphite, with its good physical and chemical properties, has gradually become the preferred material for mould making.
At present, graphite moulds are widely used in the following aspects:
Artificial graphite as a continuous casting or semi-continuous casting mould for non-ferrous metals is considered to be the most suitable material. Production practice shows that due to the use of graphite moulds, due to its good thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity determines the solidification rate of the metal or alloy), the self-lubricating properties of the mould and other factors, not only increase the speed of the mould, but also due to the size of the ingot Accurate, smooth surface, uniform crystal structure, can be directly processed in the next process. This not only greatly improved the yield, reduced the loss of waste products, but also greatly improved product quality. Continuous casting methods include vertical continuous casting and horizontal continuous casting.
Die for pressure casting
Artificial graphite materials have been successfully used in the press casting of non-ferrous metals. For example, castings of zinc alloys and copper alloys produced using a die for pressure casting made of artificial graphite materials have been used in automobile parts and the like.
Centrifugal graphite mould
Graphite moulds have been successfully applied to centrifugal casting. The United States has used centrifugal graphite moulds with a wall thickness of 25 mm or more to centrifugally cast bronze sleeves. In order to prevent burning of artificial graphite moulds, certain oxidation prevention measures may be taken. After casting a certain number of castings, if the inner surface of the casting mould is found to be burned, the size of the inner hole of the casting mould can be enlarged to cast a large-size casing.
Hot pressing die mould
The artificial graphite hot stamping die has the following characteristics in the pressure sintering of cemented carbide: First, if the pressing temperature is increased to 1350-1450 degrees, the required unit pressure can be reduced to 67-100 kgf/cm2. (that is, 1/10 of the cold pressing pressure) can be; Second, pressing and heating are performed in the same process, and a compact sintered body can be obtained after a short time of sintering.
Glass Mould
Since graphite materials have chemical stability, are not easily infiltrated by the molten glass, do not change the composition of the glass, the graphite material has good thermal shock resistance, and the dimensional change with temperature is small, so in recent years it has become an indispensable mould in glass manufacturing. Materials can be used to make glass tubes, elbows, funnels and other various shaped glass bottles.
Sintering moulds and other diamond sintered moulds
Using the characteristics of extremely small thermal deformation of the artificial graphite material, the sintered mould and the stent of the transistor can be manufactured, and it has been widely used. It has become an indispensable material for the development of the semiconductor industry. In addition, graphite moulds are also used in casting moulds for cast iron, durable moulds for various non-ferrous metals, casting moulds for cast steel, moulds for heat-resistant metals (titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, etc.), and aluminum for welding rails. Heat-welded moulds. The graphite die for hot-pressed and sintered diamond tools is responsible for the dual functions of heating elements and die support in the diamond tool manufacturing process. The quality of the graphite die directly affects the dimensional accuracy and appearance of the diamond tools. Hot-press sintering process requirements: temperature reached (1 000 ± 2) °C, moulding pressure 16 ~ 50 MPa, insulation holding pressure time is 15 ~ 30 min, the environment is non-vacuum state. Under this working condition, it is required that the graphite mould of the moulding and heating element has electrical conductivity, high resistivity, sufficient mechanical strength, and also needs good oxidation resistance and a long service life to ensure the diamond The dimensional accuracy and excellent performance of the tool. At present, the graphite mould materials used in the manufacture of diamond tools are mainly graphite materials with ultrafine grain structure, high purity and high graphitization degree, and their average particle size is less than 15 μm, even 10 μm or less, and the medium pore size is less than 2 μm. The graphite mould made of this carbon raw material has a small porosity, a compact structure, a high surface finish, and strong oxidation resistance, and the average service life can reach 30-40 times. Diamond moulds require high hardness, good oxidation resistance, and high processing accuracy. The use of high quality graphite raw materials greatly extends the service life of the mould and improves the oxidation resistance.
