Patent number: 11964323Abstract: A three-plate pressure die casting mold for producing at least one metallic die casting part by die casting a metal melt, includes first, second and third mold parts and at least one mold cavity as well as a sprue system. In the third mold part there is at least one spring-loaded pressure element which, when opening the die casting mold, presses the sprue produced in the sprue system against the first mold part, whereby the sprue is retained and tears off from the die casting part in a defined manner. A method for pressure die casting using the three-plate pressure die casting mold is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Olaf Hentschel, Andre Schaefer, Manfred Tremmel
