According to a casting method, a molten metal is sustained at a sustain position between a casting and the next casting, and the molten metal flow is divided from one pouring gate (44) to a plurality of sprue runners (46 and 47) in the casting. The sprue runners (46 and 47) are branched by a V-shaped portion (45) in a V-shape, and the sustain position of the molten metal is set above (any one of P1, P2 and P4) the V-shaped portion (45). The V-shaped portion (45) is filled with the molten metal while a repeated casting is carried out.

The invention relates to a method and a device for casting a melt 4 of a metallic material by means of a furnace 2 of a low pressure casting device, which furnace 2 has a receiving space 3 and a riser tube protruding into said receiving space 3. By pressurizing the receiving space 3 with compressed air, the melt 4 in the riser tube 12 of the furnace 2 is pressed into a mold cavity 10 of a mold 7, wherein simultaneously, a magnetic field acting against the conveying direction 23 of the melt 4 is applied to the melt 4 of the metallic material by means of a magnetic element 16 arranged in the region of the riser tube 12.

The present invention relates to an arrangement for low-pressure casting of refractory metals, with a furnace chamber with one or a plurality of gas supply openings (6) and gas outlet openings (7), and a riser pipe (8) through a cover (5) of the furnace chamber, a melting container (3, 12) for the refractory metals arranged in the furnace chamber, and a heating device for heating the refractory metals in the melting container (3, 12). In the proposed arrangement, the melting container (3, 12) is formed as an exchangeable insert for a receiving mould (2) supporting the melting container (3, 12), which is arranged in the furnace chamber, wherein a thermally insulating layer (4, 17) is formed between the receiving mould (2) and the melting container (3, 12), or is integrated into the melting container (3, 12). With the proposed arrangement, a quick and easy exchange of the melting container for different alloys can also be carried out in the low-pressure casting of refractory metals.
