  • METHOD FOR CASTING METALS
    Publication number: 20220266331
    Abstract: The casting of metals or salt and products made by casting metals or salts are described. For example, a method for casting metals or salts includes evacuating a mold that is pressurized with an inert gas and coupled to a pressurized source of molten metal or salt, wherein the pressurization of the source is sufficiently high to drive the molten metal or salt into the mold in response to the evacuation.

  • Casting mold, insert for a casting mold, a cast part and a casting method therefor
    Patent number: 10441997
    Abstract: A metal casting method and a plastic injection molding method in which an insert is molded in molten material such that no molten material enters the interior of the insert. The usage of a wire thread insert as insert has the advantage that for example in an aluminum cast part thread holes can be produced already as part of the casting process. For this purpose, the casting mold, the insert, as well as the casting method are described.

  • CASTING MOLD, INSERT FOR A CASTING MOLD, A CAST PART AND A CASTING METHOD THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20170021410
    Abstract: A metal casting method and a plastic injection molding method in which an insert is molded in molten material such that no molten material enters the interior of the insert. At the usage of a wire thread insert as insert this has the advantage that for example in an aluminum cast part thread holes can be produced already as part of the casting process. For this purpose, the present disclosure describes an the casting mold, the insert as well as the casting method.
