[Technology] Modification of Casting Zinc Alloys

Ingots and castings are prone to local crystal grain size disparities, so the zinc alloys must be modified to refine the grains. Deterioration treatment can significantly improve the mechanical properties of zinc alloys, improve the casting performance, and reduce casting defects such as hot cracking and sulfur sulfide.

Deterioration treatment can effectively refine the as-cast microstructure of zinc-aluminum alloy and increase the elongation.

Adding a small amount of rare earth elements can reduce the dendrite spacing of zinc-based alloys, eliminate network structure, and refine grains. Generally, the metamorphic effect of Qin alloy and boron alloy is better. The modification treatment can refine the solid dendrite structure of the ZA-27 alloy to increase the elongation.

There are many types of grain refinement methods, which can be divided into chemical refinement, physical refinement, mechanical refinement, and thermodynamic refinement according to the refinement mechanism. The chemical refinement method is widely used in production, that is, a certain amount of special additives are added to the molten metal to make the mouth metal or the metal compound. These substances interact with the molten metal to form a large number of small compounds, which constitute the exotic liquid nucleus. Particles, in order to achieve the purpose of grain refinement. This method is characterized by low processing costs, easy operation, and good use.

The refiner for aluminum is also used for zinc aluminum alloys. By refining grains to improve the properties of metals and alloys, attention has been paid to the metallurgy and foundry industries. The refinement of alloy grains will significantly improve the mechanical properties of the material, especially the elongation after fracture. In addition, the casting properties of the material, such as liquid filling and feeding ability, are also improved, and defects such as cold septa, cracks, and macro segregation of the casting are also significantly reduced.
