A degassing device configured to remove gas from a mold for die-casting, which includes a first path to inject molten metal into a cavity, a second path to remove gas from the cavity and a third path to measure the degree of the vacuum of the cavity. The degassing device incudes a first path opening/closing device connecting the first path and a vacuum device, a second path opening/closing device connecting the second path and the vacuum device and a controller capable of providing an actuation timing time lag between the actuation timings of the first path opening/closing device and the second path opening/closing device.

A tool for reforming a core pattern. A method of reforming a core pattern comprises opening a core reformer tool. The core reformer tool has a first portion and a second portion facing the first portion. The first portion includes a concave member and a first adjustable pin. The second portion includes a convex member and a second adjustable pin. The method includes positioning the core pattern in the core reformer tool and closing the core reformer tool. The method comprises adjusting at least one of the first adjustable pin and the second adjustable pin to alter a surface of the core pattern. The method includes directing cooling air through the core reformer tool to solidify the core pattern and opening the core reformer tool to remove the core pattern.

A vacuum system for a die casting mold, which forms vacuum inside a cavity formed between a fixed mold and a movable mold, includes: a ventilation assembly disposed between the cavity and a vacuum pump and mounted between the fixed mold and the movable mold and configured to decrease a flow rate of molten metal when the molten metal filled in the cavity flows in; and a vacuum pump forming the vacuum inside the ventilation assembly.

A casting device includes a bore formation core and a water jacket formation core. When a cavity is formed, gas existing in a space between both cores is suctioned through a flow path formed in the bore formation core under operation of a suctioning device. When the bore formation core is viewed from a side, this flow path exists above a virtual axial line that passes a center of the bore formation core and extends along a longitudinal direction of the bore formation core.

A venting device for venting a casting mold in the form of a chill vent having two mold halves which oppose each other and are complementary to each other in form and function, each mold half having a plurality of elevations and indentations in the areas facing each other and the elevations of one mold half engaging with the indentations of the second mold half, and a gap being formed between the two mold halves when the mold halves are placed on each other, air and surplus molten material flowing out through said gap when the casting mold is being filled, the gap having, in the flow direction of the molten material, a saw-toothed course having several sawtooth portions disposed in a row in the flow direction, each sawtooth portion having a leading edge inclined in the flow direction and a trailing edge inclined against the flow direction.

A vacuum system for a die casting mold, which forms vacuum inside a cavity formed between a fixed mold and a movable mold, includes: a ventilation assembly disposed between the cavity and a vacuum pump and mounted between the fixed mold and the movable mold and configured to decrease a flow rate of molten metal when the molten metal filled in the cavity flows in; and a vacuum pump forming the vacuum inside the ventilation assembly.

A core pattern reformer system for adjusting and setting a core pattern for use in casting a gas turbine blade has a first portion having a first internal face with a concave portion. The first portion is coupled to a second portion. The second portion has a second internal face with a convex portion. A plurality of adjustable pins is positioned along the internal faces of the first portion and the second portion. The pins have a height that is adjustable with respect to the internal faces. A locking mechanism is included for securing the first portion to the second portion. The system includes one or more air inlets and one or more air exits and a source of cooling air coupled to the one or more air inlets.

A vacuum centrifugal casting apparatus includes an upper mold having an upper vacuum hole communicating with both a cavity and a space over the upper mold, a lower mold including a lower vacuum hole corresponding to the upper vacuum hole, the lower vacuum hole communicating with both the cavity and a space under the lower mold, a motor configured to rotate the upper mold and the lower mold, a vacuum retaining member having an outer diameter corresponding to the upper vacuum hole, with a molten metal injection hole formed in an upper end of the vacuum retaining member, and a vacuum pump configured to be operated by the motor, and including an inlet communicating with the lower vacuum hole, and an outlet formed to exhaust drawn air.

The present invention relates to a casting mold for a metal sheet by drawing molten metal into a mold cavity and cooling the molten metal, and the casting mold according to the present invention includes: a support portion at an upper side on which molten metal is disposed or a solid metal is placed and melted; a mold cavity at a lower side in which the metal sheet is formed as the molten metal is drawn from the support portion while filling the mold cavity and cooled; and a passageway through which the molten metal is drawn into the mold cavity from the support portion, in which the mold cavity includes a first surface at the upper side which communicates with the passageway, and a second surface at the lower side which faces the first surface, a plurality of suction portions for drawing the molten metal are formed in the second surface and extended downward from the second surface, the suction portions are connected to a vacuum source and configured to draw the molten metal by suctioning air from the mold cavity, and a blocking member, which is in contact with the second surface or the suction portions to prevent a leakage of the molten metal and allow an air flow, is disposed on the suction portions in the mold cavity.
