Abstract: In a method for applying a powder state mold lubricant onto a die-casting mold, a movable mother die and a stationary mother die are clamped to define a mold cavity with a movable insert die and a stationary insert die, in which a plunger tip slidably arranged within a sleeve opens a molten material supply hole, and communication between the sleeve and the mold cavity is blocked. A pressure within the mold cavity is reduced by opening a powder suction passage opening into the mold cavity and establishing communication between a powder discharge passage communicated with a powder storage source and a molten material supply passage opening to the mold cavity. The powder state mold lubricant is directly within the powder storage source into the mold cavity via the molten material supply passage for applying the powder state mold lubricant on the mold surface of the mold cavity.

Abstract: An application method of a powder mold lubricant for a vacuum die-casting mold can effectively apply the powder mold lubricant onto a mold surface of the mold cavity with supplying the powder mold lubricant in small amount, can avoid liquefying of the power mold lubricant to degrade quality of a product, and can avoid loss in cycle time in a vacuum die-casting operation.
