Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of molding a low-melting-point metal alloy which exhibits thixotropy properties in a solid-phase and liquid-phase coexisting temperature region. In this method, a temperature of a heating holding cylinder is increased to a liquidus temperature or higher at the start of a molding operation. Then a remaining material in the preceding molding remaining in the heating holding cylinder in a solid state is wholly melted. After that a temperature of the heating holding cylinder is lowered to a temperature in the solid-phase and a liquid-phase coexisting temperature region. At the same time a molding material is supplied and a provisional molding is carried out. After the temperature has reached the solid-phase and liquid-phase coexisting temperature region, a regular molding is started. By the present invention a problem of a remaining material in the heating holding cylinder, which becomes a trouble at the start of molding by injection, is solved.

Abstract: A method of molding a low melting point metal alloy which exhibits thixotropy properties at a solid-liquid coexisting temperature, said method comprising the steps of heating said metal alloy at a temperature in the solid-liquid coexisting temperature region to form a semisolid, supplying said semisolid to a heating/holding cylinder to be accumulated, and injecting said semisolid into a mold. At the end of the molding process, a remaining semisolid material is heated to a wholly molten state, then discharged by injection, and heating is stopped so that the molding operation is finished; or, at a temporary suspension of molding, an accumulated material is heated to a wholly molten state and, at the resumption of molding, the temperature of the heating holding cylinder is lowered to the original solid-liquid coexisting temperature region while discharging said wholly molten material by injection and resupplying with new semisolid molding material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of molding a low-melting-point metal alloy which exhibits thixotropy properties in a solid-phase and liquid-phase coexisting temperature region. In this method, a temperature of a heating holding cylinder is increased to a liquidus temperature or higher at the start of a molding operation. Then a remaining material in the preceding molding remaining in the heating holding cylinder in a solid state is perfectly melted. After that a temperature of the heating holding cylinder is lowered to a temperature in the solid-phase and a liquid-phase coexisting temperature region. At the same time a molding material is supplied and a provisional molding is carried out. After the temperature has reached the solid-phase and liquid-phase coexisting temperature region, a regular molding is started.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of molding a low-melting-point metal alloy. In this method, a remaining semisolid material at the end of molding is heated to a liquidus temperature or higher to be melted. Then an injection of the material is performed in a perfectly molten material state to discharge it from a heating holding cylinder. Heating is stopped and a molding operation is finished. A discharge of a remaining semisolid material is made while supplying a metallic raw material having the same composition as the molding material. A temporary suspension of molding is performed after the temperature of the heating holding cylinder is increased to a liquidus temperature or higher and an accumulated semisolid material is in a perfectly molten material state.

Abstract: A method of injection molding whereby a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) without being predried or with having an irregular-shape is fed by a feed screw from a material feeder to an injection cylinder and plasticated by an injection screw. The rotational torque of the injection screw is detected in correspondence with the revolution speed of the feed screw during material feed, and a flection point of the rotational torque is determined. The feed screw is operated at a revolution speed within a range around the flection point of the rotational torque to provide a stable feed rate of the PET and to avoid difficulty in rotating the injection screw.
