Abstract
The invention discloses a process for casting an 8356 type A356 aluminum alloy wheel and a heat treatment process. The process comprises the following steps of: a, adopting a metal mold low-pressure casting process, wherein the pouring temperature is between 690 and 735 DEG C, and the die preheating temperature is between 250 and 350 DEG C; b, performing thinning in a smelting furnace, adjusting the content of iron and silicon in aluminum liquid, performing metamorphosis in a refining pack and nitrogen-blowing refining outside the furnace, and adjusting the content of magnesium, strontium andtitanium in the aluminum liquid; c, adding a cooling pipe to a thick and big part of the wheel to perform quick cooling, and filling insulation cotton on the periphery of a side die to slow down the cooling speed of the middle part of a wheel rim so as to realize solidification in order; and d, cooling a wheel cast and putting the wheel cast into a heat treatment kiln to perform solution and aging treatment. In the process, suitable pouring temperature and reasonable cooling measures are adopted to effectively realize feeding and shrinkage of the cast; in the pouring process, a filter screen is arranged at a riser tube to effectively prevent inclusions; and through the control of key technological parameters, the product quality of the 8356 type A356 aluminum alloy wheel cast is ensured.
