Problems solved by technology

[0004] Magnesium and magnesium alloy melts have extremely high requirements for ceramic foam filters. Magnesium alloy casting cannot use general ceramic foam filters because the standard of magnesium oxide The free enthalpy of formation is low, and molten magnesium can react with some oxides with high standard free enthalpy at high temperatures, thereby corroding the foam ceramic skeleton and polluting the alloy
Therefore, the general aluminum-silicon series and silicon carbide foamed ceramics will be quickly destroyed by erosion in the molten magnesium solution, and cannot be used for the filtration of magnesium alloys.
At present, zirconia foam ceramic filter can meet this requirement, but its price is extremely high, which is equivalent to about 10-15 times the price of general aluminum-silicon foam ceramic filter; magnesium oxide filter is also magnesium and magnesium alloy An optional material for melt filtration, which has the advantages of cleanliness and corrosion resistance, but the magnesium oxide powder will undergo hydrolysis reaction in the water-based system, which makes it difficult to control the performance of the magnesium oxide slurry, and its sintering temperature is very high. The sintering accelerator will pollute the magnesium melt and the price is high, which makes the mass production of magnesia foam ceramics difficult and the manufacturing cost is high. In addition, zirconia and magnesia foam ceramics are due to their production Due to the characteristics of the process or material itself, the size of the product is also limited accordingly, and it is impossible to produce large-sized ceramic filter plates. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new material foam ceramic filter that is suitable for magnesium alloy filtration and is easy for industrial production.

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the steady flow, filtration and purification of molten metal, in particular to a magnesia-alumina spinel foam ceramic filter and a preparation method thereof, which are applied in metal smelting and casting industries. The filter prepared by the invention is mainly used for Melting and filtering of metal magnesium and magnesium alloys. technical background: [0002] During the smelting and pouring process of molten steel, molten iron and various non-ferrous metals, defects such as inorganic inclusions and shrinkage pores are the main reasons for the scrapping of castings. Inclusion defects not only affect the appearance of the product but also seriously reduce the mechanical properties and service life of the product. Therefore, reducing inorganic inclusions and pore defects is the key to producing high-quality castings. [0003] Ceramic foam filter can reduce or eliminate casting defects and improve alloy yield and process...
