Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for sing out this method, during which the shell molds (3) are filled with a melt (11) in a clocked manner, the respectively required amount of melt being currently provided at the same time. The casting process ensues by marrying the crucible (6), which is filled with a melt (11), with a shell mold (3) so that the crucible (6) and shell mold (3) form a common cavity (10), and this arrangement is subsequently tilted 180°, so that the melt (11) falls into the shell mold (3).

Abstract: A method and device for producing metal foils using the foil-casting principle includes the steps of filling a casting frame with liquid metal, moving a substrate through the bottom of the casting frame, with the substrate belt being at a lower temperature than the melting point of the liquid metal in the bottom of the casting frame, so that a bottom layer of the liquid metal crystallizes on the substrate and a metal foil is formed on the substrate on one side of the casting frame. The method further includes the steps of measuring at least one of a thickness and weight of the metal foil, and adjusting the contact surface area between the liquid metal and the substrate as a function of the measured value for the thickness and/or weight of the foils produced.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a low melting-point metal core is provided, which consists of fitting a loose piece 6 having a built-in heater 5 in a mold 4, casting molten metal by pushing it up from a furnace into the cavity of the mold 4 to fill it, keeping the mold in a filled state for a given time, and stopping the casting step at a time at which the molten metal at the central part of the cavity is still unsolidified, so as to have the unsolidified molten metal fall freely into the furnace.
