A heating machine for heating an ingot of a metal such as a magnesium alloy. The heating machine has a heating chamber equipped with a RF induction coil capable of swinging about a horizontally axis. The coil is placed horizontally, and the metal ingot is fed into the coil from an introduction chamber by a pushrod. Stoppers prevent the ingot from falling from the RF induction coil when it is switched from its horizontal posture to its vertical posture. The coil is wound on a cylindrical member. A rotatable hollow shaft is firmly mounted to the holder in a perpendicular relation to a substantially axially central portion of the cylindrical member. A part of the coil is inserted in the hollow shaft via an insulating material. The rotatable hollow shaft is swung by a swinging mechanism. The induction heating coil is wound on a ceramic holder. A metal ingot is inserted in the holder with a given clearance. A plurality of pillars of L-shaped cross section are fitted over the holder to place it in position vertically and horizontally.
A heating machine for heating a metal ingot for a metal casting, for use in an injection molding apparatus having a heating chamber for heating an ingot, a pulverization chamber mounted under said heating chamber, and an injector disposed under said pulverization chamber, said injection molding apparatus being designed to heat said metal ingot in said heating chamber, to introduce said heated ingot into the underlying pulverization chamber, to pulverize said heated ingot by said pulverization chamber, to feed said pulverized ingot into said injector and to pour a molded material in the form of a slurry into a mold so as to obtain a metal casting, said heating machine comprising:
A swinging induction heating machine comprising:
