Method for processing, in particular casting, a material, casting mould for carrying out the method and articles produced by the method or in the casting mould

Method for casting a material by bringing the same into a free-flowing state by heating and introducing it into a casting mould, wherein introducing the material into the casting mould is carried out by the bottom-casting principle and solidifying by the top-casting principle.

A method for casting a material brought into a free-flowing state in a casting mould by introducing the material into a pouring basin, from there through a joined-on inflow, further through an inlet which, at least in parts, lies lower than a storage space, which in turn, at least in parts, lies lower than the cavity, and from there through an outlet of the storage space into the cavity, and whereby the mould, prior to solidification of the material, is pivoted such that the storage space acts as a feeder or riser.

Casting mould, in particular a pivotable casting mould, where two mould halves surrounding both the pouring run and the storage space as well as the cavity are separated from each other by separating grooves and the casting mould is pivotable about an axis which, at least approximately, extends in parallel to its separating-groove plane.
