  • Publication number: 20010054492
    Abstract: Process and apparatus for producing a cast metallic product by forming a metal from a melt inside a forming space of a die under application of pressure to the melt according to a direct melt-forming method, in which while a melt into a forming space of a lower die unit, a piston valve closely slidable in a cylinder space is gradually descended to a given location in the forming space, said cylinder space being located under the casing space and opened to a bottom surface of the forming space at an area smaller than that of said bottom surface; the forming space is closed with an upper die unit after completion of feeding the melt in the forming space; and after the closing step, while vibration is being applied upon the melt inside the forming space, a forming pressure is exerted upon the melt by rising the piston valve.

  • Patent number: 6039108
    Abstract: A sleeve lubricating mechanism which is able to positively coating a powder lubricant onto an inside surface of a molten metal feeding sleeve for a vertical shot casting machine. This mechanism is composed of an attachment which contacts with a molten metal feeding port of the sleeve to block it so as to bring a sleeve inside to a closed condition, a vacuum device sucking air from the sleeve inside through the attachment, and a powder feeding device discharging the powder lubricant together with air from a nozzle into the sleeve inside through the attachment.

  • Patent number: 5385196
    Abstract: In a spray method for spraying and applying a powdery mold coating agent onto both inside surfaces of a movable metal mold and a stationary metal mold for a permanent mold casting device, a spray method of permanent mold casting powdery mold coating agent in which a spray head provided with an electrostatic spray gun is fit to a feeding port so as to shut it tightly and a suction head connected to a suction pump is fit to a riser port so as to shut it tightly under a state where the movable metal mold and the stationary metal mold are closed. An inside of cavity is sucked by the suction pump through the riser port so as to produce a pressure difference between inside and outside of the cavity, and a powdery mold coating agent supplied from a powdery mold coating agent feeding device to the electrostatic spray gun is discharged from the electrostatic spray gun by means of the above pressure difference so as to be electrostatically adsorbed onto the inside surfaces of the foregoing both metal molds.

  • Patent number: 5383775
    Abstract: A powdery mold release agent spray device including a nozzle having spray ports on its tip end side wall, a nozzle having spray ports on its tip end surface and shut pins, all of which are assembled in through holes made on both metal molds. The spray ports of the former and latter nozzles are exposed to cavity inside at time of spraying work, the spray ports of the former and latter nozzles are located in the through holes and the cavity is isolated from the spray ports of the latter nozzle by the shut pin. By using this spray device, a powdery mold release agent can be sprayed onto inside surfaces of the metal molds without exception, economically and without worsening a work environment.
