Iron beans: when coating the first two layers, pay attention to the operation, to eliminate the sharp angle, corner bubble; the new coating should be static for a certain time, when adding wetting agent, should add appropriate amount of defoamer; wax mold should be degreased before coating; improve casting design, sharp angle, corner should be smooth transition.

2 schizoid defects
Cracks include: hot crack, cold crack.
Preventive measures:
Hot crack: improve casting structure, wall thickness as uniform as possible, increase casting round corner or add process bar; improve shell material or reduce shell layer number, add appropriate amount of additive, increase pouring temperature, increase shell concession; improve pouring system design; select reasonable pouring process; select materials with low thermal cracking tendency, keep furnace clean, select reasonable smelting process, add rare earth elements in appropriate amount, improve high temperature strength and plasticity of castings.
Cold crack: improve casting structure, such as uniform wall thickness, eliminate sharp angle, add process reinforcement, control cooling rate to adapt to alloy shrinkage; adopt less phosphorus furnace, adopt reasonable melting process, reduce impurity content, improve molten metal quality; When cleaning castings or removing gate, the impact force should not be too large.

Pit: Choose dry and clean charge, choose reasonable smelting process, and adopt secondary deoxidation; choose surface layer shell material reasonably; choose reasonable shell roasting process, strictly control roasting temperature and time, and eliminate residue in the cavity Make the shell white after firing; select a reasonable binder according to the material of the casting, such as silica sol binder; appropriately reduce the temperature of the molten metal and the shell during casting to speed up the cooling rate.
Inclusions: Choose clean charge, sandblasting, or shot blasting before use. Before using the alloy, it should be inspected and properly baked, and desulfurization treatment should be used if necessary; choose a reasonable melting process and pouring process, and use high temperature Use a filter screen or inert gas if necessary; deoxidize strictly during smelting to protect the surface of the molten metal. Before the molten metal is released, let it stand for 2 minutes to float the inclusions and remove them; put it in the ladle first Covering agent to prevent secondary oxidation when molten metal is poured; appropriately increase the temperature of molten metal and mold shell, which is beneficial to the floating of inclusions.
