  • Patent number: 10307820
    Abstract: A suction pressure casting method uses a casting device that includes a holding furnace for accumulating molten metal, a metal mold and a core forming a cavity, a molten-metal pressurizing tank that supplies a pressurizing gas, and a suction and exhaust tank for sucking and exhausting the inside of the cavity. A preset decompression pattern of a casting process is compared with a measured pressure pattern of the cavity and the core that is measured during actual casting. A corrected decompression pattern is calculated based on a difference therebetween. The preset decompression pattern at the time of the next casting is then corrected by using the corrected decompression pattern.
