A method and an installation (10) for removing slag allows both slag removal and metal recovery from slag (60′) to be performed quickly and easily. The risk of slag fires is reduced.

A die casting method includes stirring an aluminum alloy liquid in a stirrer under an airtight vacuum condition. The stirrer includes an electromagnetic inductor and a stirring rod. The aluminum alloy liquid is simultaneously subjected to an electromagnetic stirring in a direction of a magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic inductor and a mechanical stirring under a rotation action of the stirring rod. The aluminum alloy liquid is stirred for 20-80 minutes until the aluminum alloy liquid becomes semisolid to obtain a semisolid aluminum alloy slurry. The method further includes injecting the semisolid aluminum alloy slurry into a filter die to perform die casting molding at an injection speed of 1.5-2.5 m/s, an injection specific pressure of 30-80 MPa, a pressurization pressure of 60-80 MPa, and a temperature of the filter die of 250-400° C., and maintaining pressure for 7-30 seconds to obtain the filtering cavity.
