An injection assembly, for pressure die casting systems, has an injection cylinder adapted to inject liquid metal into a casting cavity; the injection cylinder is actuated by a hydraulic flow of an oil-pressure controlled circuit; the oil-pressure controlled circuit includes a hydraulic cushion which blocks and releases the flow of the hydraulic fluid in the injection cylinder and provides a counter-pressure of preset value to control the injection speeds and to prevent cavitation in the injection cylinder.

An injection assembly (2) of a hydraulic machine for diecasting is provided with a main shut-off valve (50) suitable to prevent the return of fluid from the main pressure chamber (30). The main valve (50) comprise a containment case (541), in which a return spring (540) is housed, suitable to retain any rupture fragments thereof.

Hot-chamber die casting systems for casting aluminum, copper, titanium, and their alloys, as well as other high temperature and/or reactive metals. The hot-chamber die casting system comprises an injection system that includes a cylinder, a plunger reciprocable within the cylinder, and a gooseneck that defines a passage fluidically connected to a cylinder chamber within the cylinder, wherein surfaces of the cylinder, plunger, and gooseneck that contact a molten metal during injection casting are defined by a refractory material that does not react with the molten metal, or have been treated to reduce the rate of dissolution of their surface material into the molten metal during injection casting.

A molten metal feed pipe for feeding a molten metal of an nonferrous alloy includes an outer tube made of a ferrous material, an inner tube made of a molten metal resistant material, and an intermediate member made of a compact of a fibrous non-organic material, which is disposed between the outer tube and the inner tube. The intermediate member, positioned in the central region of the molten metal feed pipe with respect to the longitudinal axial direction of the molten metal feed pipe, is disposed between the outer tube and the inner tube with the intermediate member being compressed in a radial direction of the molten metal feed pipe.

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.

A casting unit for a die casting machine has a casting container with a casting chamber, a casting piston, which is arranged in an axially movable manner in the casting chamber, a melt bath connection opening, a melt inlet channel from the melt bath connection opening to the casting chamber, a melt outlet channel, which leads out of the casting chamber separately from the melt inlet channel, and a shut-off control valve for the melt inlet channel. The shut-off control valve has a valve main body arranged on the casting container, a valve seat and a valve closing body. The valve main body is held on the casting container at a lateral valve assembly region of the casting container in a manner accessible from the outside and includes the melt bath connection opening, and/or the casting piston is of a spool type, and the shut-off control valve is located with its valve closing body in the melt inlet channel at a flow-technical distance from the melt bath connection opening on the one hand and from the casting chamber on the other hand.

A die casting machine of an embodiment includes: a base; a fixed die plate fixed onto the base and holding a fixed die; a movable die plate provided on the base to be movable in a mold opening and closing direction and holding a movable die to face the fixed die; an injection device filling a molten metal into a cavity formed by the fixed die and the movable die and applying a first pressure to the molten metal; a first pressurizing device pressurizing the molten metal filled in the cavity in a region other than a product region of the cavity and applying a second pressure to the molten metal; and a control device controlling the first pressurizing device so that the second pressure becomes higher than the first pressure.

A process of forming an erosion, oxidation, and wear resistant shot chamber, either a gooseneck or a shot sleeve, is provided. The process utilizes a self-healing erosive wear resistant coating on a liner of refractory metal to serve as the working surfaces of a shot chamber. Such a shot chamber is expected to have an improved service life for die casting of corrosive metals and alloys, including hot chamber die casting of aluminum alloys. An improved hot dipping process using stirring in the motel metal bath is also disclosed.

A module for a die-casting device that includes a base that can be fastened to a mounting plate of the die-casting device, a screw/cylinder unit for producing a thixotropic material, and a filling chamber, wherein the screw/cylinder unit and the filling chamber are arranged indirectly or directly on the base such that thixotropic material produced by the screw/cylinder unit can be conveyed into the filling chamber.

A casting device for operating stably while suppressing leakage from a gap between a tip and a sleeve is disclosed. The casting device includes: a sliding member in the center of which a rod slides, and in which a gap is formed between the rod and the sleeve; a seal member arranged at an outer periphery of the sliding member; and a suction device for suctioning air inside the sleeve. When the seal member is positioned in a center section closer to a cavity than a pouring hole, and the air in a space between the sliding member and the tip is suctioned, the seal member assumes a first state in which the seal member adheres to the center section, and in the first state, the tip advances toward the cavity.
