Apparatus and method for the die casting in the semisolid state of objects made of brass, bronze, alloys of aluminum, magnesium and light alloys and the like

Abstract

An apparatus for the die casting in the semisolid state of objects made of brass, bronze, alloys of aluminum, magnesium and light alloys and the like, includes an upper die part adapted to be mated with a lower die part, the mating between the upper die part and the lower die part forming a casting cavity, a furnace being arranged below the lower die part and being provided with a duct for feeding liquid metal which connects to the casting cavity. The upper die part is provided with a cavity in which a forging piston can move freely, the piston accommodating internally a flow control plunger, and having, between the upper die part and the lower die part, circumferentially around the part to be cast, a vacuum channel connected to the casting cavity by at least one venting channel.
