Abstract: A metal casting fabrication method is provided. In accordance with the method, first a metal plate is disposed in the cavity of molding dies. This metal plate includes a first surface formed with a heat insulating layer, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. With the metal plate placed in the cavity, the heat insulating layer is held in contact with the dies, while the opposite or second surface is partially exposed to the cavity. The injected molten metal properly fills the cavity from end to end since its heat is not conducted unduly to the dies via the metal plate.

Abstract: A metal object forming method includes a preliminary step and a metal-injecting step. At the preliminary step, flowability-improving material is put in a molding die. Then, at the metal-injecting step, molten metal is poured into the die for producing a casting. Due to the high temperature of the molten metal, the flowability-improving material melts into the molten metal, to cause the freezing point depression of the molten metal.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a casing for electronic apparatus use in which metal and resin are subjected to a hybrid formation, so that the mechanical strength of the casing is improved and the thickness is reduced so as to reduce the weight. An electronic apparatus casing having a rib (16) and boss (18) is manufactured when metal (10) and resin (12) are integrally formed. Adhesive (14) is coated on the metal, and after the coated adhesive has been dried, the resin (12) is injected onto the adhesive layer from a portion which composes the rib or boss, so that the metal and resin are subjected to a hybrid formation.
