  • Patent number: 10801089
    Abstract: A method includes producing a light metal cast component from a melt of an aluminium casting alloy. The alloy contains, by weight, silicon with 3.5 to 5.0%, magnesium with 0.2 to 0.7%, titanium with 0.07 to 0.12%, boron with a maximum of 0.012%, and optionally further alloy elements together with less than 1.5%, the rest, aluminium as well as unavoidable impurities, wherein the melt is produced from a base melt, a first grain refiner of an aluminium-silicon alloy and a second grain refiner of an aluminium-titanium-alloy, wherein the melt, in relation to the total weight, contains in total an amount of 0.1 to 5.0% of the first and the second grain refiner; wherein the casting is carried out by a low-pressure method and the melt is acted upon by compacting after the casting.

  • Patent number: 9180513
    Abstract: Process and casting mold for producing a cast wheel. A core, which remains in the cast wheel and has a circumferential rim, is inserted into a casting mold having at least one lower mold part and an upper mold part moved relative to one another to close casting mold. Core is positioned by at least one positioning element in a predetermined position in casting mold, so that an end region of positioning element is fixed with a force fit or frictional fit in circumferential rim of the core. A free end region of positioning element, which protrudes from circumferential rim of the core, is placed on a contact surface, which is preferably arranged substantially horizontally during operation, of lower mold part during positioning of core in casting mold. Core is positioned in the predetermined position under the action of the force of gravity.

  • Patent number: 4966188
    Abstract: A pneumatically operated gas-pressure controller is provided having a setting device and a controller, wherein the controlling gas for the energy supply of the controller is drawn on the input side of the gas-pressure controller, fed to the controller by means of a throttle valve and discharged on the outlet side by means of a drain conduit. The controller supplies the setting pressure for the setting device by means of a setting pressure conduit and includes a twin diaphragm system having two diaphragms with different surface areas, the diaphragms are interconnected and arranged one above the other so as to oppose one another. A booster valve is associated with the diaphragm having the smaller surface area and is acted upon by the setting pressure.
