  • Patent number: 10046385
    Abstract: The present invention provides a die cast component, in particular a water outlet fitting, containing a base body (1) produced from metal or a metal alloy by the die casting method and having a cavity in which a number of openings (2, 3, 4) are provided by which the cavity is accessible from the outside, the cavity being at least partially filled with a casting core (5) that is in two-dimensional contact with the inside of the base body (1) and in which at least one channel (6) is provided for the conveyance of fluid, the casting core (5) being made of a material the melting point of which is lower than the melting point of the material from which the base body (1) is produced, and that the outside of the casting core (5) rests with at least substantially all of its surface against the inside of the base body (1). Furthermore, the invention also provides a method for producing this type of die casting component.

  • Publication number: 20130299027
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a die cast component, in particular a water outlet fitting, comprising a base body produced from metal or a metal alloy by the die casting method and having a cavity in which a number of openings are provided by means of which the cavity is accessible from the outside, the cavity being at least partially filled with a casting core that is in two-dimensional contact with the inside of the base body and in which at least one channel is provided for the conveyance of fluid, wherein in a predominant part of the contact surface, in particular in the entire or almost the entire contact surface region between the casting core and the base body, the wall thickness of the casting core is as great as or greater than the wall thickness of the base body. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing this type of die casting component.
