\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAssim que se investe numa matriz de fundi\u00e7\u00e3o, esse custo torna-se irrevers\u00edvel. Escolher o processo errado custa muito mais do que um pre\u00e7o unit\u00e1rio ligeiramente mais elevado. Pode levar a um enchimento incompleto em sec\u00e7\u00f5es de paredes finas, \u00e0 forma\u00e7\u00e3o de bolhas na superf\u00edcie ap\u00f3s o tratamento t\u00e9rmico T6 devido a porosidade retida, ou a custos unit\u00e1rios que nunca diminuem, mesmo com o aumento do volume de produ\u00e7\u00e3o. A fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade de alum\u00ednio ocupa um ponto ideal crucial no espectro de sele\u00e7\u00e3o de processos. Este guia mapeia esse limite com dados concretos, explica em que aspetos a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade supera a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o sob alta press\u00e3o e fornece uma lista de verifica\u00e7\u00e3o de fornecedores antes de se comprometer com a aquisi\u00e7\u00e3o de ferramentas.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

O que \u00e9 a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade de alum\u00ednio?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade de alum\u00ednio \u00e9 um processo de molde permanente. O alum\u00ednio fundido \u00e9 vertido na cavidade de um molde reutiliz\u00e1vel de a\u00e7o ou ferro e preenche-a totalmente sob a a\u00e7\u00e3o da for\u00e7a gravitacional \u2014 n\u00e3o \u00e9 aplicada qualquer press\u00e3o externa. O molde \u00e9 pr\u00e9-aquecido e revestido com um agente desmoldante antes de cada ciclo. O metal entra atrav\u00e9s de uma bacia de vazamento superior e a pe\u00e7a fundida \u00e9 removida assim que solidifica e arrefece.\n\n\n\n\nA literatura do setor por vezes denomina este processo de \u201cfundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade de alum\u00ednio\u201d ou \u201cfundi\u00e7\u00e3o em molde permanente\u201d. Todos os tr\u00eas termos se referem ao mesmo m\u00e9todo. Para contextualizar: a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o de baixa press\u00e3o utiliza um canal de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o pressurizado para empurrar o metal para cima atrav\u00e9s da porta de entrada, enquanto a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o sob press\u00e3o injeta o metal a centenas de bar. A fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade n\u00e3o utiliza qualquer pressuriza\u00e7\u00e3o \u2014 depende exclusivamente da altura est\u00e1tica do metal na bacia de vazamento.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEm compara\u00e7\u00e3o com a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o em areia, o molde met\u00e1lico da fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade proporciona dimens\u00f5es de cavidade consistentes ciclo ap\u00f3s ciclo \u2014 n\u00e3o \u00e9 necess\u00e1ria qualquer reajustagem do equipamento entre as s\u00e9ries de produ\u00e7\u00e3o. Esta repetibilidade coloca a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade entre a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o em areia e a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o sob press\u00e3o, tanto em termos de custo como de consist\u00eancia.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Como funciona a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade de alum\u00ednio<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDesde o alum\u00ednio fundido at\u00e9 \u00e0 pe\u00e7a fundida acabada, o processo divide-se em seis etapas:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. Pr\u00e9-aquecimento e revestimento do molde.<\/strong> Aque\u00e7a a matriz permanente a 200\u2013300 \u00b0C e pulverize uniformemente um agente desmoldante refrat\u00e1rio. A temperatura do molde controla diretamente o fluxo do metal e a velocidade de forma\u00e7\u00e3o da camada superficial.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Fecho e fixa\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/strong> Encaixe as duas metades da matriz. Os n\u00facleos de areia e as inser\u00e7\u00f5es met\u00e1licas est\u00e3o pr\u00e9-posicionados para formar cavidades internas e recortes.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Verter e encher.<\/strong> Um operador deita alum\u00ednio fundido na bacia de vazamento superior. A velocidade de enchimento depende da altura de vazamento e do desenho do canal de vazamento, n\u00e3o de um ciclo fixo da m\u00e1quina.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Solidifica\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/strong> O metal solidifica a partir da parede da cavidade para o interior. Os canais de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o compensam a contra\u00e7\u00e3o por solidifica\u00e7\u00e3o, de modo a manter as sec\u00e7\u00f5es densas e isentas de contra\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/li>\r\n \t
  5. Abertura e eje\u00e7\u00e3o da matriz.<\/strong> O molde abre-se e a pe\u00e7a fundida cai por gravidade ou \u00e9 empurrada para fora por pinos ejetores.<\/li>\r\n \t
  6. Acabamento e tratamento t\u00e9rmico.<\/strong> Remova os canais de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o e os elevadores e, em seguida, limpe as superf\u00edcies por jateamento ou tratamento em tambor. Se a liga o permitir, aplique um tratamento t\u00e9rmico T5 ou T6 para melhorar as propriedades mec\u00e2nicas.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por inclina\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 uma alternativa mais est\u00e1vel. O molde roda da posi\u00e7\u00e3o horizontal para a vertical durante o enchimento, pelo que o metal flui suavemente para a cavidade com turbul\u00eancia e reten\u00e7\u00e3o de ar m\u00ednimas. Este m\u00e9todo proporciona uma solidifica\u00e7\u00e3o direcional mais controlada e reduz a depend\u00eancia da habilidade do operador.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA disposi\u00e7\u00e3o dos canais de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o e dos canais de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o secund\u00e1rios determina se a contra\u00e7\u00e3o por solidifica\u00e7\u00e3o se direciona para o canal de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o ou para a parede do molde. Este \u00e9 o principal desafio de conce\u00e7\u00e3o na fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade \u2014 e \u00e9 precisamente por isso que uma an\u00e1lise de conce\u00e7\u00e3o para fabricabilidade (DFM) antes da produ\u00e7\u00e3o das ferramentas compensa o investimento.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Ligas de alum\u00ednio comuns e as suas propriedades<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA A356 \u00e9 a liga mais utilizada para pe\u00e7as estruturais fundidas por gravidade. Ap\u00f3s o tratamento t\u00e9rmico T6, a sua rela\u00e7\u00e3o resist\u00eancia\/peso e a sua ductilidade atingem n\u00edveis que a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o em areia e a fundi\u00e7\u00e3o sob press\u00e3o convencional n\u00e3o conseguem igualar. De acordo com a norma EN 1706, as barras de ensaio da A356-T6 apresentam uma resist\u00eancia \u00e0 tra\u00e7\u00e3o m\u00ednima de 290 MPa, um limite de escoamento de 210 MPa e um alongamento de 4%.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Os seguintes par\u00e2metros, que constituem a norma da ind\u00fastria, definem a fronteira entre as pe\u00e7as em bruto fundidas e as pe\u00e7as com acabamento mec\u00e2nico:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    • Espessura m\u00ednima da parede:<\/strong> 3\u20135 mm. Sem assist\u00eancia de press\u00e3o, o revestimento met\u00e1lico envelhece antes de preencher as sec\u00e7\u00f5es finas.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Rugosidade da superf\u00edcie:<\/strong> Ra no estado de fundi\u00e7\u00e3o: 1,6\u20136,3 \u00b5m.<\/li>\r\n \t

    • Peso da pe\u00e7a:<\/strong> Desde alguns gramas at\u00e9, aproximadamente, 50 kg.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAo definir as margens de desbaste e de maquinagem nas pe\u00e7as fundidas A356, deve-se prever uma contra\u00e7\u00e3o linear de aproximadamente 1,3%. Caso contr\u00e1rio, o contorno da pe\u00e7a fundida poder\u00e1 exceder as toler\u00e2ncias do desenho antes mesmo de a maquinagem ter in\u00edcio. Se as dimens\u00f5es da pe\u00e7a tal como fundida n\u00e3o corresponderem diretamente aos requisitos do desenho, uma maquinagem secund\u00e1ria por CNC poder\u00e1 colmatar essa diferen\u00e7a.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

        \r\n \t
      • A pe\u00e7a requer um tratamento t\u00e9rmico T6 para garantir resist\u00eancia e tenacidade.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Trata-se de um elemento estrutural ou de suporte de cargas que requer solidez interna.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • O volume de produ\u00e7\u00e3o situa-se na gama m\u00e9dia \u2014 aproximadamente entre 500 e 50 000 pe\u00e7as por lote.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • A espessura da parede prevista excede os 3 mm.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • O or\u00e7amento para ferramentas \u00e9 limitado e n\u00e3o permite cobrir os custos da fundi\u00e7\u00e3o sob alta press\u00e3o.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPor outro lado, deve-se optar pela fundi\u00e7\u00e3o sob alta press\u00e3o quando a espessura da parede for inferior a 2 mm, o volume anual atingir centenas de milhares, os requisitos de toler\u00e2ncia forem de \u00b10,1 mm ou as superf\u00edcies tiverem de apresentar uma forma quase final, sem que seja permitida qualquer maquinagem secund\u00e1ria.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

        Como escolher um fornecedor de fundi\u00e7\u00e3o por gravidade<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAntes de pagar pelo equipamento de moldagem, avalie as fundi\u00e7\u00f5es de alum\u00ednio por gravidade com base nestas seis dimens\u00f5es:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
          \r\n \t
        1. Capacidade interna de fabrico de ferramentas.<\/strong> As fundi\u00e7\u00f5es que concebem e fabricam os seus pr\u00f3prios moldes t\u00eam um controlo mais rigoroso sobre os prazos de entrega e os ciclos de revis\u00e3o.<\/li>\r\n \t
        2. Gama de ligas e tratamentos t\u00e9rmicos.<\/strong> Confirme quais os graus que oferecem e se o T5\/T6 \u00e9 realizado internamente ou subcontratado.<\/li>\r\n \t
        3. M\u00e9todos de inspe\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/strong> Procure a inspe\u00e7\u00e3o por raios X para verificar a integridade interna, a CMM para verifica\u00e7\u00e3o dimensional e as barras de ensaio fundidas para valida\u00e7\u00e3o das propriedades mec\u00e2nicas.<\/li>\r\n \t
