Abstract
The device has a device body including an inside space having an airtightness able to provide a nonactive gas atmosphere, the inside space having a charging port, a filling port and a melting chamber surrounded by an induction heating coil; a first piston transporting a non-ferrous alloy lump to the melting chamber; and a second piston permitting the melted non-ferrous alloy to flow out of the filling port.
Claims2
A melting and filling device for melting a non-ferrous alloy lump and transferring the melted alloy to a mold, comprising:
- a device body including an inside space having an airtightness able to provide an nonactive gas atmosphere, the inside space having a charging port, a filling port and a melting chamber surrounded by an induction heating coil;
- a first piston for transporting the non-ferrous alloy lump to the melting chamber;
- and a second piston, axially aligned with the first piston, for allowing the molten metal of non-ferrous alloy, formed in the melting chamber, to flow out of the filling port.
