  • Mold and casting method using the mold and design method of the mold
    Patent number: 8276644
    Abstract: A mold including a product cavity that is to be filled with a molten metal to mold a product; a supply cavity that connects to one side of the product cavity to supply the product cavity with the molten metal that is poured from a casting port; and a cooling cavity that connects to the other side of the product cavity and in which the molten metal filling the cooling cavity is cooled before the molten metal filling the product cavity and the supply cavity is cooled. A modulus M (=V/S) as a ratio of a volume V to a cooling surface area S in each of the cavities has a relation of Ms>Mp>Mc, where Mp is a modulus of the product cavity, Ms is a modulus of the supply cavity, and Mc is a modulus of the cooling cavity.
