ELECTROHYDRAULIC PURIFICATION OF CASTINGS

FROM CORES AND SAND BLEND RESIDUES

ACCOMPLISHED RESULTS

Knockout of cores and sand blends residues out of thin- and thick-walled steel, cast-iron, aluminum, titanic, and other castings weighing from dozens grams to hundreds tons (including precision molding) irrespective of their complexity in conditions of individual, serial, and large-scale production.

TECHNOLOGY ESSENCE

The technology is based on the use of a high-voltage discharge initiated between a special electrode and a casting in a fluid. As a result, high-intensity pressure waves and hydraulic flows develop and propagate in a fluid influencing the casting body and core mixture, causing thus destruction and removal of the latter.

ADVANTAGES:

sharp productivity gains 2-4 times;
less costs and power intensity alongside with high-quality removal of cores even from the most compound castings;
fundamental improvement of working conditions and ecological situation in the chipping area;
hard manual labor mechanization;
prevention of conditions provoking occupational diseases (Raynaud's phenomenon, silicosis, etc.)

EFFICIENCY:

removal of core and sand blends of practically any strength;
no necessity for casting post-treatment;
decrease of residual stresses in castings without heat treatment;
castings dimensions stabilization;
decrease of occupied production facilities 2...2.5 times.

IMPLEMENTATION AND USE

This technology is implemented at the enterprises of Ukraine and Russia, and also exported to Japan, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Hungary, Roumania, India, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Cuba.
