  • Patent number: 11358212
    Abstract: A riser sleeve (1) for using when pouring metals into a casting mould includes a riser body (2). The riser body (2) includes a riser cavity (3) for holding liquid metal and a riser opening (4) for joining the riser cavity (3) to a mould cavity of the casting mould during the casting process. The riser cavity (3) has a greater diameter than the diameter of the riser opening (4) in at least one portion, the riser body (2) is made of an insulating and/or exothermic riser material. The riser body (2) is formed as a single piece, the riser opening (4) defines an axis (5), and the riser cavity (3) is asymmetric to the axis (5).

  • Patent number: 10406595
    Abstract: In a method for producing a riser for inserting into a casting mold used for casting metals, the riser includes a riser body (31) surrounding an inner cavity (36) as a riser volume and is composed of an exothermic and/or insulating riser material (30). To produce a single-piece riser body (31) in a two-part core box (10), a cavity (14) reproducing the outer contour of the riser body (31) is formed and, in order to produce the inner cavity (36), a reversibly expandable king (15) is set in the cavity (14) in such a way that, in the shooting of the riser body (31), the wall region (32), the cup region (33), and the base region (34) of the riser body are formed by the riser material (30) introduced into the intermediate space (41) between the expanded king (15) and the inner wall (40) of the cavity (14).
