The method includes: acquiring a first barrel temperature of the Thixomolding machine, wherein the first barrel temperature indicates a temperature of at least part of barrel sections; delaying, by the Thixomolding machine, an injection operation when the first barrel temperature is in a preset temperature range; recording a first parameter, wherein the first parameter indicates consumption of magnesium material in the barrel of the Thixomolding machine; and increasing the first barrel temperature according to a set rule when the first parameter reaches a first threshold.

An injection chamber or container for machines for pressure die-casting processes is provided, which is formed by a cylinder (1) includes an external cuff (2) and an internal insert (3), through which passes material that is introduced through an opening (4) and pressure-driven by means of a piston (5) into a mould (6). The internal insert (3) has an outer diameter (d) smaller than the inner diameter (D) of the external cuff (2), there being between the two diameters (d, D), a difference of dimension (a) such that the insert (3) can be inserted into and removed from the cuff (2) directly and cold, that is, without dilating it, and such that he only dilation that the insert undergoes (3), which is caused by the heat of the material to be extruded that passes therethrough when the cylinder (1) is operating, causes the insert to become fixed inside the cuff (2).

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.

A motor plate type coil forming apparatus forms a plate type coil wound on a stator of a motor by a squeeze casting method.
