A die cast machine for producing a manufactured part includes a fixed die maintaining a fixed position in the die cast machine. The fixed die has an internal fixed die surface. A movable die moves from a first position to a second position in the die cast machine. The movable die has an internal movable die surface. A sprayer applies a die release agent to the internal fixed die surface and the internal movable die surface before operation of the die cast machine. A first thermal imaging apparatus takes thermal images of the fixed die, and a second thermal imaging apparatus takes thermal images of the movable die. Application of die release agent is controlled by the temperatures of the fixed and movable dies as determined by the thermal images.

A system and method of making a part. The part may cast in a die. A gripper assembly may be provided that has a gripper and a spray nozzle that provides a fluid. The part may be quenched with a fluid when the part is in the die.

A method of fabricating a vehicle part casing using a die-casting apparatus includes preparing a molten aluminum (AL) alloy by heating an Al alloy. A die-casting mold is preheated, and then, the vehicle part casing is molded by pouring the molten Al alloy into the die-casting mold. The vehicle part casing is removed from the die-casting mold and a surface of the vehicle part casing is trimmed. Burs on the vehicle part casing are removed.

A system and method of making a part. The part may cast in a die. A gripper assembly may be provided that has a gripper and a spray nozzle that provides a fluid. The part may be quenched with a fluid when the part is in the die.

A mold apparatus for high pressure casting includes an upper mold having an internal space filled with a molten metal and a core pin elevating groove at an inner wall of the upper mold. A lower mold is disposed at a lower part of the upper mold and fixed with an insert. A core pin portion is elevatably installed in the core pin elevating groove to be elevated depending on a filling pressure of the molten metal filled in the internal space.

A high pressure die casting apparatus for forming metal components includes a die cast mold, a shot sleeve, and a plunger. The shot sleeve includes a pivotable pouring lid disposed in an inlet of the shot sleeve. The pouring lid is disposed in at least one of a closed position and an open position while having a pouring profile shape for promoting smooth non turbulent flow of liquid metal from a pouring ladle to the shot sleeve.

A high-pressure die casting apparatus including a shot sleeve extending through a first die half to a molding surface, and a plunger received in the shot sleeve is provided. The shot sleeve includes a side wall presenting a fluid passageway and a partial end wall disposed in a fixed position relative to the side wall. The partial end wall defines a wall opening adjacent the molding surface. Fluid is poured into the shot sleeve while the die apparatus is open, and the partial end wall prevents the fluid from flowing out of the shot sleeve. The plunger then presses the material into the mold cavity until only a portion of the material remains in the shot sleeve and blocks the wall opening. After the solidified material is ejected from the apparatus, the portion of material blocking the wall opening prevents lubricant from entering the shot sleeve.

Various embodiments provide methods and apparatus for forming bulk metallic glass (BMG) articles using a mold having a stationary mold part and a movable mold part paired to form a mold cavity. A molten material can be injected to fill the mold cavity. The molten material can then be cooled into a BMG article at a desired cooling rate. While injecting and/or cooling the molten material, the movement of the movable mold part can be controlled, such that a thermal contact between the molten material and the mold can be maintained. BMG articles can be formed without forming an underfilled part. Additional structural features can be imparted in the BMG article during formation. At least a portion of the formed BMG article can have an aspect ratio (first dimension/second dimension) of at least 10 or less than 0.1.

A die casting mold includes a mold frame with at least two mold inserts and with at least one slider, the mold frame comprising a frame pocket for arranging the at least two mold inserts and the at least one slider, the at least two mold inserts delimiting a cavity with an undercut corresponding to the at least one slider, the mold frame comprising a first and a second mold frame halves disposed on opposite sides of a parting plane. At least one of the first and the second mold frame halves is formed by a plurality of mold frame parts connected to one another in a form-fitting manner, one of the plurality of mold frame parts having a locking surface, which, as viewed along a locking axis, is effective as a slider lock against a displacement of the at least one slider directed outwardly as viewed from the cavity.

An embodiment ejecting device for die casting for use in ejecting a molded product molded by a fixed die and a movable die, the ejecting device including an ejecting plate disposed on a movable holder on which the movable die is mounted to be movable forward and backward in a moving direction of the movable die, a plurality of main ejecting pins disposed on the ejecting plate in the moving direction of the movable die to penetrate through the movable die, and a plurality of sub-ejecting units disposed on the ejecting plate to penetrate through the movable die and disposed to eject the molded product in multiple directions within a set ejecting angle range based on an arrangement direction of the main ejecting pins.
