  • Patent number: 11813670
    Abstract: According to a casting method, a molten metal is sustained at a sustain position between a casting and the next casting, and the molten metal flow is divided from one pouring gate (44) to a plurality of sprue runners (46 and 47) in the casting. The sprue runners (46 and 47) are branched by a V-shaped portion (45) in a V-shape, and the sustain position of the molten metal is set above (any one of P1, P2 and P4) the V-shaped portion (45). The V-shaped portion (45) is filled with the molten metal while a repeated casting is carried out.

  • Publication number: 20220371085
    Abstract: An aluminum casting method is for pouring an aluminum molten metal (12) pumped up by an electromagnetic pump (20) into a die (50). A thickness of a powder demolding agent applied to the die (50) is set to be thinner than that of a demolding agent for a gravity die casting. A temperature of the die immediately before the molten metal is poured is controlled so as to fall within a range that is between 110° C. to 250° C. A temperature of the molten metal when poured is controlled to be a value obtained by adding 20° C. to 55° C. to a liquidus-line temperature of the aluminum.
