Abstract: A method for heat-treating a cast component composed of an aluminum base alloy, in which method the cast component is annealed at a predetermined annealing temperature for a predetermined annealing period in a first heat transfer medium and then transferred into a water bath. Between being annealed and transferred into the water bath, the cast component is transferred into a second heat transfer medium at a predetermined intermediate cooling temperature, where it is held for a predetermined intermediate cooling period.

Abstract: A machine for cooling and truing cast components made from cast material, and includes a construction for holding cast components and a holder to supply cooling liquids. A method to treat a cast component after removal of the cast component from the casting mold, the cast component being loaded immediately with a cooling liquid in a water spray.

Abstract: A method for the production of a hollow body from die casting aluminum in a die casting machine with a die casting die having mould parts with a stationary mould part and with at least two movable mould parts. The movable mould parts are guided in at least one further movable mould part of the die, so that, in the closed position of the die, the movable mould parts are blocked at least by way of an interlock which is attached to the stationary mould part.

Abstract: A process for producing a rotationally symmetrical cast aluminum component by die casting, which is reworked partially on its inner and/or outer lateral surfaces. At least a part of the lateral surfaces is not treated and is used as a non-positively locking bearing surface for installation in an assembly and also for bracing the component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a cast component (10), in particular a die casting component, preferably made of an aluminum alloy, according to which the cast component (10) is at least partially subjected to a heat treatment following the molding process and the removal from the mold (12), wherein the heat treatment of the cast component (10) is begun within a period of up to 15 minutes after the removal from the mold (12). In addition, the invention relates to a device by which a cast component (10) is taken out of the mold (12) and transported into a heat treatment facility (28) by means of one and the same transport system (robot 24).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a cast component made of an aluminium diecasting alloy, in which the cast component is subjected to a heat treatment process after casting, wherein an aluminium diecasting alloy is used, by means of which the cast component has an elongation at break A5 of ?10% and a yield point Rp0.2 of <120 MPa, and wherein a single-step annealing process for stability is carried out at a temperature of 120-260° C., after which the heat-treated cast component has a break at elongation A5 of ?7% and a yield point Rp0.2 of ?110 MPa. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cast component which is produced in accordance with a method of this type.
