The invention is relating to a system for casting metal, the system comprising a holding furnace (3) containing a base metal melt (2), at least one casting crucible (1) mounted inside the holding furnace (3) and situated at least partly in the base metal melt (2), the said casting crucible (1) divided to at least first volume (4) and second volume (5) with a separating wall (6), which separating wall (6) is forming a gap (10) with the casting crucible wall (11) said casting crucible (1) having at least one opening (12) in the wall (11) from the first volume (4) to the base metal melt (2) in holding furnace (3) and having means to import alloying material (7) to the first volume (4) and having at least one casting die (8) in the second volume (5) inserted into the alloyed metal melt (9). The invention also relates to a method of casting metal.
A system for casting metal, the system comprising a holding furnace containing a base metal melt, at least one casting crucible mounted inside the holding furnace and situated at least partly in the base metal melt, the said casting crucible divided to at least first volume and second volume with a separating wall, which separating wall is forming a gap with the casting crucible wall said casting crucible having at least one opening in the wall from the first volume to the base metal melt in the holding furnace and having means to import alloying material to the first volume and having at least one casting die in the second volume inserted into the alloyed metal melt.
A method of casting metal, where a base metal melt is held in a holding furnace comprising the steps of:
