摘要： Various embodiments provide an apparatus and methods for containing the molten materials within a melt zone during melting. The apparatus may include a vessel configured to receive a material for melting therein and an induction coil with unevenly spaced turns along its length. Induction coil can have a series of turns acting as a first (e.g., load) induction coil and a series of turns acting as a second (e.g., containment) induction coil. The material in the vessel can be heated and contained by the separated turns of the induction coil. A plunger can also assist in containing material during melting. Once the desired temperature is achieved and maintained for the molten material, operation of the induction coil can be stopped and the molten material can be ejected from the vessel into a mold using the plunger.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for demoulding a casting from a casting mould having at least one casting core which images a passage opening in the casting connecting two outer sides of the casting and is produced from a moulding material bound by a binder which decomposes under the influence of temperature, wherein the casting mould undergoes a heat treatment in a furnace for the demoulding, during which it is heated to a temperature at which the binder loses its binding effect.In the furnace, hot gas is flowed through a passage formed in the casting core of the casting mould the temperature of the hot gas corresponding at least to the temperature at which the binder of the moulding material loses it binding effect such that the casting core decomposes into fragments or separate sand particles as a consequence of the influence of the hot gas.

摘要： A casting component comprising essentially no macro porosity by having the casting material fill the mold cavity with a laminar flow is disclosed. In one embodiment, the gas within the mold cavity will not be entrained when the flow is laminar. Control of this flow behavior is directly related to the microstructure and thixotropy of the alloy. The SLC slurry have a thixotropic nature and a non-turbulent way of flowing into a casting die, allowing the process to be capable of producing cast parts having thin sections, geometric complexity and close dimensional tolerances without entrapped gas porosity. The thixotropic aluminum slurry may be characterized by a uniform primary aluminum particle size in the range of 50 to 80 microns. A uniform distribution of this microstructure throughout the injected aluminum volume encourages laminar flow of the aluminum into the die cavity.
