  • Patent number: 7096919
    Abstract: An evaporative pattern casting process in which a casting process plan capable of attaining the optimal discharge of generated gas can easily be decided. The evaporative pattern casting process can cast a product, and includes pouring a molten metal in a mold in which a pattern made of an expanded synthetic resin is embedded in molding sand, and evaporating the pattern with the molten metal, while gas generated by evaporation of the pattern is discharged outside the mold through a discharging passage including discharged gas suppressing device. The ventilation of the discharging passage is controlled on the basis of the material, the shape of the pattern, the kind of the molten metal, and the temperature of the molten metal.

  • Patent number: 7044190
    Abstract: Provided is an evaporative pattern casting process which ensures that smooth casting can be carried out without blow-back of a molten metal and a molding product having an excellent casting quality is obtained. The invention relates to an evaporative pattern casting process for casting a product, which comprises pouring a molten metal into a mold provided with a pattern with a through-hole, embedded in molding sand, and evaporating the pattern with the poured molten metal, gradually exhausting the gas generated by the evaporation of the pattern to the outside of the mold through an exhausting path provided with an exhaust gas-controlling means.

  • Publication number: 20050033562
    Abstract: On the basis of the controllability of wall thickness distribution of a mold product by a preform shape, the number of fabrication steps and the cost required for a design and trial formation of a preform forming metal mold are reduced by designing a preform shape such that a thickness distribution of the preform leads a wall thickness distribution of an aimed mold product to thereby obtain a mold product having an ideal rigidity and stability thereof.

  • Publication number: 20010028122
    Abstract: Simulations are performed for (1) the change in shape of the molten resin when a parison is formed by extruding said resin through the gap between the extruder die and core, (2) the change in shape of the molten resin due to clamping the mold around the extruded parison and blowing compressed air into the parison, and (3) the thermal deformation that will occur in the molded product due to cooling after the molded product, obtained when the molten resin has solidified in the mold, is removed from the mold in a high-temperature state. The shapes of the mold, extruder die and core that will give the desired shape of molded product are determined from the results of these simulations.
