New Technological Advance in Lost Foam Casting Process for AI Alloy and Mg Alloy

Research situation of Al alloy and Mg alloy lost foam casting （LFC） process is described, and new advancements of Al alloy and Mg alloy LFC in filling, vibration solidification, pressure solidification and expendable pattern-shell compound casting, etc. , are mainly introduced. The results show that the pinhole and shrinkage porosity defects must be emphatically solved for Al alloy and Mg alloy LFC, and the filling ability of liquid alloy and mechanical properties of castings must also be improved. The improvement of the filling ability of liquid alloy, microstructure refinement, increase of microstructure compactness, improvement of the mechanical properties of castings could be obtained by means of vibration solidification and pressure solidification. The shell casting process based on expendable pattern with vacuum and low pressure casting can solve some of pinhole and slag inclusion defects as well as the misruns and high pouring temperature of LFC, and it is a new process for manufacturing complicated and thin-walled aluminum and magnesium alloys precision castings.
