The invention relates to a preparation method of a
fiber reinforced compound silica
sol shell for
investment casting, which aims to solve the problem that a shell preparedin the prior art is low in
humidity and strength, and comprises the sequential steps as follows: 1),
surface layer coating preparation; 2),
surface layer shell preparation; 3)
transition layer coating and shell preparation; 4) back layer
coating preparation, that is, adding
mullite powder into silica
sol according to the
mass ratio of (2.2-3.0):1 of the fireproof
mullite powder to the silica
sol in the back layer coating, so that paste-shaped coating is obtained, and agitating; adding
polypropylene fiber which is 0.4 percent-2.0 percent of the fireproof
mullite powder in
mass in the back layer coating into the agitated paste-shaped coating, enabling the
polypropylene fiber to uniformly disperse, adding the silica sol once again so as to lower the
mass ratio of the mullite powder to the
silicon sol to (1.1-1.5):1, and continuously agitating the mixture for 2 h for stand-by application; selecting the
polypropylene fiber with the
diameter of Phi 30 mum-Phi 50 mum and length of 2mm-6mm; 5) back layer shell preparation; 6)
slurry sealing; 7)
calcination, cooling and tapping off. The preparation method has the advantages that the shell is high in
humidity and strength, and low in shell
residual strength; the high-temperature air permeability is not affected after the fiber is burned at a high temperature; the effect of improving
metal liquid mold-filling capacity to a certain degree is achieved; the number of coating and smearing
layers is decreased; the production efficiency is improved.
