Press forming method for a semi-solid metal material and press forming system for a semi-solid metal material

A press forming system for a semi-solid metal material, comprising:

• a semi-solid metal material manufacturing device for manufacturing a semi-solid metal material in a container having an upward opening by injecting molten metal of a metal material into the container, and cooling the injected molten metal while electromagnetically stirring the injected molten metal with a stirring device;
• a semi-solid metal material inverting device having a robot arm to hold the container containing the semi-solid metal material, and invert the container to place the container in a temporary storage space;
• a liquid phase part discharging device including a table with an opening through which a liquid phase part is discharged from the semi-solid metal material, the container being held by the robot arm;
• and
• a pressing machine for pressing the semi-solid metal material by feeding, into dies, the semi-solid metal material from which the liquid phase part is discharged, wherein
• the semi-solid metal material inverting device is configured to:
• place the table on an upper end side of the container containing the semi-solid metal material in the semi-solid metal material manufacturing device;
• and
• invert the container together with the table and place the inverted container in the temporary storage space through the table, placing the semi-solid metal material on the table, and
• when the container is inverted, the opening of the table allows the liquid phase part of the semi-solid metal material to be discharged from the container.
