Abstract: A method of one-piece casting of a tool with a working component of steel and a body of grey iron, and an interconnection zone therebetween is carried out in a single mould which is kept closed and unchanged during the casting. The steel is cast first from beneath and upwards, whereafter a pause is made. The casting of the grey iron is only carried out when the temperature of the steel in the intended interconnection zone has fallen to a temperature corresponding to the liquidus temperature of the steel minus approx. 30° to 150° C.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cast wear part with its structure reinforced by at least a type metal carbide, and/or metal nitride, and/or boride, and/or metal oxides, and/or intermetallic compounds, referred to below as constituents. The invention is characterized in that the raw materials used as reagents for said constituents have been introduced in a mould (1) before casting in the form of compacted powder inserts or preforms (3) or the form of slurries (4), and the reaction of said powders has been activated in situ by casting a metal, forming a porous conglomerate in situ, and said metal has infiltrated the porous conglomerate, thus forming a reinforced structure leading to inclusion of said constituents in the structure of the metal used for casting, thereby creating a reinforcing structure on the wear part (2).

Abstract: A composite cast tool is cast in one continuous piece, partly of steel and partly of grey iron, so that an interconnection zone is formed between the steel and the grey iron.

The steel portion and the grey iron portion have projections or walls extending towards one another. The interconnection zone is located in the region of union between these walls and is planar.
