Patent number: 11007569Abstract: A method for the tilt casting of a component from light metal, in particular of an aluminum alloy, uses a tilt casting mold having a mold cavity. The melt is continuously poured directly into the casting run of the tilt casting mold, which forms the sprue of the component, at the beginning of and during the tilting movement of the tilt casting mold, using a casting ladle or a casting scoop, and flows through the casting run into the mold cavity of the tilt casting mold from the beginning, wherein the casting ladle or the casting scoop continuously tracks the casting mold during the tilting movement.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: KSM Castings Group GmbHInventors: Florian Buerger, Viktor Boeshans, Roland Golz, Heik Lachmund, Christian Richard, Philipp Kassner
