A device for die casting a metal component included a die casting mold which has a cavity that forms the component. The cavity is connected to a source for a metal melt by at least one temperature controlled supply channel. The metal melt is introduced into the cavity via at least one casting valve. The supply channel forms an annular channel, in which metal melt can be circulated via a conveying apparatus.

A clutch device includes a pressure plate movable toward or away from a clutch center and rotatable with respect to the clutch center. The pressure plate includes a flange extending radially outward from an outer circumferential edge of a body, pressure-side fitting teeth projecting in a first direction from a front surface of the flange, holding input-side rotating plates and output-side rotating plates, and being arranged in a circumferential direction, and a flange-side recessed portion recessed in the first direction from a back surface of the flange. As seen in an axial direction of an output shaft, the flange-side recessed portion at least partially overlaps one of the pressure-side fitting teeth.

A method and apparatus for producing semi-solid material castings from its liquid state in a shot chamber of a vertical die casting machine where the liquid material is poured into a shot chamber and rapidly cooled from its liquid state to temperatures below its liquidus. High-intensity ultrasonic vibration is applied to the cast material. The combined action of rapid cooling from the shot chamber, vigorous pushing by the plunger, and radiation of ultrasonic vibration on the cast material in the shot chamber directly turns the initial liquid material directly into a semi-solid slurry. The slurry is then injected into a die cavity to form a casting.

The pressure plate includes a flange extending radially outward from an outer circumferential edge of a body, pressure-side fitting teeth projecting in a first direction from a front surface of the flange, holding input-side rotating plates and a portion of output-side rotating plates being arranged in a circumferential direction, a body-side recessed portion recessed in the first direction from a second direction-side surface of the body, and a flange-side recessed portion recessed in the first direction from a back surface of the flange. As seen in an axial direction of an output shaft, the flange-side recessed portion at least partially overlaps one of the pressure-side fitting teeth.
