Abstract
Disclosed is a metal molding conduit assembly 600. The assembly includes a conduit passageway 602 configured to pass a volume of molten metal 604 located upstream of a passageway blockage 606 that is formable in the conduit passageway 602. The passageway blockage 606 is maintained soft enough to be pushed past through an entrance of a mold cavity 608 in response to the passageway blockage 606 experiencing the injection pressure applied to the passageway blockage 606.
Claims49
A metal molding conduit assembly, comprising:
- a conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal located upstream of a passageway blockage that is formable in the conduit passageway, wherein the passageway blockage is maintained soft enough to be pushed past through an entrance of a mold cavity in response to the passageway blockage experiencing an injection pressure applied to the passageway blockage.
A metal-molding system, comprising:
- a metal molding conduit assembly including a conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal located upstream of a passageway blockage that is formable in the conduit passageway, wherein the passageway blockage is maintained soft enough to be pushed past through an entrance of a mold cavity in response to the passageway blockage experiencing an injection pressure applied to the passageway blockage.
A metal-molding process, comprising:
- passing, via a conduit passageway, a volume of molten metal located upstream of a passageway blockage that is formable in the conduit passageway;
- and
- maintaining the passageway blockage soft enough to be pushed past through an entrance of a mold cavity in response to the passageway blockage 606 experiencing the injection pressure applied to the passageway blockage.
A mold, comprising:
- a body defining a mold cavity configured to cooperate with a metal molding conduit assembly, the metal molding conduit assembly including:
- a conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal located upstream of a passageway blockage that is formable in the conduit passageway, wherein the passageway blockage is maintained soft enough to be pushed past through an entrance of the mold cavity in response to the passageway blockage experiencing an injection pressure applied to the passageway blockage.
