The application belongs to the technical field of a casting mold and provides a side mold and a low-pressure hub casting mold. Channels of a cooling loop are processed in a back cavity of a side mold frame, a distance between the channels along a solidification direction of a casting gradually increases, and a cooling medium flows along the cooling loop, the ability of taking away heat changes from strong to weak, and a larger temperature gradient of the side mold may be formed by superposition with a temperature gradient formed by the thickness of the side mold.

A clamping platen for a die casting machine has a base plate body of a cast iron material, a surface layer of a stainless steel material welded onto at least one plate side of the base plate body, and a transitional layer between the base plate body and the surface layer. The surface layer is applied as a laser weld application layer.

A method for making dies for die casting, and relative die, includes designing moulding parts of the die as plurality of sub-inserts. Each sub-insert of the plurality is bordered by boundary lines defined on the basis of a simulation of thermo mechanical behaviour of the die in operation. The simulation is performed by a processor of a computer and the behaviour is the behaviour of the die if the die were a single piece. The method also includes producing the plurality of sub-inserts and assembling the sub-inserts of the plurality with attachment means, so as to form the die.

The present invention provides a bi-metal assembling method. The method provides a machine-shaped aluminum piece and places the machine-shaped aluminum piece into a die-cast mold. The machine-shaped aluminum piece is encapsulated with a magnesium metal liquid and die cast is performed. The assembled bi-metal structure is coated for protection and CNC high-gross treatment and anodizing treatment is performed in the machine-shaped aluminum piece. The magnesium alloy piece is hooked with the machine-shaped aluminum piece for assembling. The bi-metal structure has smooth surface to reduce the time for polishing, surface shrinkage and generation of blowholes. The present invention also provides a bi-metal assembled structure.

The present invention relates to a casting mold for casting components. The casting mold comprises at least one casting mold frame made of metal and/or of an alloy, and also one or more ceramic casting mold inserts introduced into the at least one casting mold frame. The casting mold insert or the casting mold inserts has/have the negative contour or part of the negative contour of a component to be produced or of the combination of a component to be produced with one or more casting cores. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the casting mold according to the invention and to the use of the casting mold according to the invention.
