The invention relates to a diecasting method and a diecasting nozzle system (10) for use in a hot-chamber system (1) for the diecasting of metal melt (4), comprising a hot-chamber diecasting machine (2) with a casting vessel (3) and a melt distributor (20), which distributes the melt (4) from a machine nozzle (7) among uniformly heated diecasting nozzles (40). Arranged between a sprue region (42) of the diecasting nozzles (40) and the casting vessel (3) is at least one nonreturn valve (48), which prevents the melt (4) from flowing back from the sprue region (42) in the direction of the casting vessel (3). According to the invention, the nonreturn valve (48) is respectively arranged between the sprue region (42) of at least the upper diecasting nozzles (40) and a final branch of melt runners (22) in the melt distributor (20) to each of the diecasting nozzles (40).

A plunger for die casting may include a front injector end made of an iron alloy including, by mass: about 1% to about 6% nickel, about 0.1% to about 5% copper, about 0.2% to about 2.5% aluminum, about 0.5% to about 2% manganese, and about 0.05% to about 0.2% carbon. The iron alloy may be formed into an initial shape of the front injector end, heated to a temperature greater than or equal to about 900° C. and then cooled to form a supersaturated solid solution of iron and dissolved alloying elements. Then, the iron alloy may be heated at a temperature sufficient to precipitate intermetallic nanoparticles from the supersaturated solid solution to form an intermetallic precipitate phase dispersed throughout an iron-based matrix phase. A chemical compound layer may be formed at and along a surface of the iron alloy by exposing the iron alloy to an oxygen-containing and/or nitrogen-containing environment.

A die-casting machine has a casting mould, a casting chamber, a casting piston arranged in an axially movable manner in the casting chamber, a melt inlet channel which leads into the casting chamber, a shut-off valve in the melt inlet channel, a melt outlet channel which leads from the casting chamber to the casting mould, and a control unit for controlling the casting piston. The control unit and the shut-off valve are configured, after completing a filling phase in a subsequent refilling phase firstly to bring the shut-off valve into an open position and to control the casting piston to move back into the casting start position, in order to supply the casting chamber with melt material via the melt inlet channel, and to control the shut-off valve into its closed position again before the casting piston has reached its casting start position by virtue of its return movement, and to control the casting piston to back-suction melt material in the melt outlet channel by virtue of the further return movement of the casting piston.
