Abstract
There is provided an exhaust casing for a turbocharger that can be reduced in weight and can be easily machined. The exhaust casing (1) for the turbocharger includes an exhaust casing body (2) for the turbocharger that has a hollow structure and is made of a casting of iron-based metal, a light metal layer (3) that serves as an outer shell, and a heat insulating layer (4) that is provided between the exhaust casing body (2) and the light metal layer (3).
Claims4
An exhaust casing for a turbocharger, comprising:
- an exhaust casing body for the turbocharger that has a hollow structure serving as an inner shell and is made of a casting of iron-based metal;
- a light metal layer that serves as an outer shell;
- and
- a heat insulating layer that is provided between the exhaust casing body and the light metal layer, the heat insulating layer suppressing heat radiation from exhaust gas flowing through the hollow structure.

A method of manufacturing an exhaust casing for a turbocharger,
- the exhaust casing for the turbocharger including:
- an exhaust casing body for the turbocharger that has a hollow structure serving as an inner shell and is made of a casting of iron-based metal;
- a light metal layer that serves as an outer shell;
- and a heat insulating layer that is provided between the exhaust casing body and the light metal layer, the heat insulating layer suppressing heat radiation from exhaust gas flowing through the hollow structure,
- the method comprising:
- a step of casting the exhaust casing body with iron-based metal;
- a step of coating at least a part of an outer surface of the exhaust casing body with silica-based heat insulation material or heat insulation material made of gypsum forming the heat insulating layer to form a heat insulation material layer;
- and
- a step of placing, by using as a core the exhaust casing body including the heat insulation material layer on at least the part of the outer surface, the core being arranged in a mold having an inner surface shape that matches an outer surface shape of the exhaust casing, and forming the light metal layer by pouring molten light metal into a cavity formed between the core and the mold to cast the exhaust casing body with the light metal.

- and a heat insulating layer that is provided between the exhaust casing body and the light metal layer, the heat insulating layer suppressing heat radiation from exhaust gas flowing through the hollow structure,
- the method comprising:
- a step of casting the exhaust casing body with iron-based metal;
- a step of coating at least a part of an outer surface of the exhaust casing body with casting sand to form a casting sand layer;
- a step of placing, by using as a core the exhaust casing body including the casting sand layer on at least the part of the outer surface, the core being arranged in a mold having an inner surface shape that matches an outer surface shape of the exhaust casing, and forming the light metal layer by pouring molten light metal into a cavity formed between the core and the mold to cast the exhaust casing body with the light metal;
- a step of forming a through-hole in a part of the light metal layer and taking out the casting sand from the through-hole;
- and
- a step of forming, after taking out the casting sand, an air layer as the heat insulating layer in a space of the casting sand layer by closing the through-hole.
