Patent number: 7104309Abstract: In the method of deoxidation casting, a disused metal left in a feeder head can be easily removed from a cast product, or the molten metal left in the feeder head can be removed from the cast product so as to easily finish the cast product. The method comprises the steps of: pouring a molten metal into a cavity of a casting die; and reacting a deoxidizing compound with the molten metal so as to deoxidize an oxide film formed on a surface of the molten metal. And the method is characterized in that rate of cooling the molten metal in a feeder head of the casting die is lower than that in the cavity, and that the molten metal in the feeder head, which is not solidified, is treated when the molten metal in the cavity is solidified so as to make an outline of a cast product correspond to that of a desired product.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2003Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Nissin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keisuke Ban, Koichi Ogiwara, Sakuzo Nakatani, Akira Sunohara

Patent number: 6964293Abstract: The method of casting of the present invention is capable of making volume of a feeder head can be small and making cooling rate of the feeder head can be easily made lower than that of a cavity. The method is executed in a casting machine, which includes a casting die, in which the feeder head is provided between a metal inlet and the cavity and in which heat insulating of the feeder head is greater than that of the cavity so as to make cooling rate of the feeder head lower than that of the cavity. The method comprises the steps of: pouring a molten metal into the cavity; reacting the molten metal on a deoxidizing compound in the cavity so as to deoxidize an oxide film formed on a surface of the molten metal; and supplementing the molten metal in the feeder head to the cavity when the molten metal in the cavity is solidified and shrinked.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2004Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Nissin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keisuke Ban, Akira Sunohara, Yasuhiro Sasaki, Koichi Ogiwara, Sakuzo Nakatani

Patent number: 6932142Abstract: A reduction casting method includes the steps of: pouring a molten metal into a cavity of a molding die; and performing casting while reducing an oxide film formed on a surface of the molten metal by allowing the molten metal and a reducing substance to come into contact with each other in the cavity. On this occasion, the molten metal is poured into the cavity in a state in which the molding die is forcibly cooled by a cooling device, thereby being rapidly cooled. Further, on this occasion, a solidification speed at which the molten metal is rapidly cooled is allowed to be 600° C./min or more. Still further, on this occasion, the molten metal is filled into the cavity in a filling time of from 1.0 second to 9.0 seconds.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Nissin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventor: Keisuke Ban

Patent number: 6848496Abstract: A casting apparatus for performing a casting while an oxide film formed on a surface of a molten metal is reduced by allowing the molten metal and a reducing compound to be contacted with each other, includes: a molding die having a cavity for receiving the molten metal, a sprue from which the molten metal is poured and a feeder head portion arranged between the sprue and the cavity. A difference of heat insulation is partially provided between the feeder head portion and the cavity such that the molten metal filled in the cavity and the feeder head portion is sequentially solidified in a direction of from a terminal portion of the cavity to the feeder head portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Nissin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keisuke Ban, Akira Sunohara, Yasuhiro Sasaki, Koichi Ogiwara

Patent number: 6845808Abstract: A reduction casting method includes the steps of: allowing a metallic gas and a reactive gas to react with each other to generate a reducing compound; introducing the thus-generated reducing compound into a cavity of a molding die 11; and reducing an oxide film formed on a surface of a molten metal by the reducing compound to cast a cast product. The reduction casting method uses a non-reactive gas as a carrier gas when the metallic gas is introduced into the cavity, in which a flow quantity of the non-reactive gas is allowed to be from one sixth to twice that of the reactive gas.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Nissin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventor: Keisuke Ban
