Abstract: A method for casting a cast part according to the tilt pouring principle includes pouring a molten metal from at least one tiltable casting vessel into a casting mold including a mold cavity which forms the cast part. The molten metal is ladled directly out of a bale-out furnace using the casting vessel, and a metal oxide skin forms in the casting vessel on the surface of the molten metal. The casting vessel containing the molten metal and the metal oxide skin floating thereon is brought to the casting mold. The molten metal is poured from the casting vessel into the casting mold by a common rotation of the casting vessel and casting mold about an axis of rotation. The metal oxide skin rises to the top of the molten metal during the pouring process, floating predominantly on top and on the surface of the molten metal.
