A die casting insert for producing die casted metal parts from liquid metal. The die casting insert has an outer casing shaped to be fixed in the die block of the die casting apparatus. The die casting insert also has a stopper with a purge opening that is adapted to evacuate contaminants topping the liquid metal as pressure is applied to the liquid metal. The stopper, fitted to mate with the hollow inner cavity of the injection sleeve, is constructed to seal the hollow inner cavity of the injection sleeve except at the purge opening when in a first position; and to permit the flow of the liquid metal into at least one molding cavity when the stopper is in a second position. The die casting insert also has an activation mechanism configured to shift the stopper between the first position and the second position.

An injection system applied to a die casting machine includes a container module, a first mold module, a feeding module, and an abutting module. The container module includes a container casing member. The first mold module includes a first inlet structure partially embedded into the container casing member, and a second inlet structure partially embedded into the container casing member. The feeding module includes a first feeding assembly and a second feeding assembly. The abutting module is disposed on the container casing member for downwardly abutting the first feeding assembly and the second feeding assembly. The abutting module downwardly abuts the first feeding assembly so as to firmly position the first feeding assembly on the first inlet structure. The abutting module downwardly abuts the second feeding assembly so as to firmly position the second feeding assembly on the second inlet structure.

Disclosed are embodiments of a vessel configured to contain a secondary magnetic induction field therein for melting materials, and methods of use thereof. The vessel can be used in an injection molding apparatus having an induction coil positioned adjacent to the vessel. The vessel can have a tubular body configured to substantially surround and receive a plunger tip. Longitudinal slots or gaps extend through the thickness of the body to allow and/or direct eddy currents into the vessel during application of an RF induction field from the coil. The body also includes temperature regulating lines configured to flow a liquid within. The temperature regulating lines can be provided to run longitudinally within the wall(s) of the body between its inner bore and outer surface(s). A flange may be provided at one end of the body to secure the body within an injection molding apparatus.

A twin injection molding machine includes: a mold clamping device configured to clamp a mold; and first and second injection devices each including: a heating cylinder; a screw disposed in the heating cylinder; and a screw driving device including driving system components and configured to drive the screw. The first and second injection devices are disposed symmetrically with respect to a machine center line of the mold clamping device. The driving system components provided in the screw driving device of the first injection device and the driving system components provided in the screw driving device of the second injection device are each disposed on a side away from the machine center line in the respective screw driving devices.

An apparatus and method for melting and forming metal in a vacuum environment. Metal is melted within a metal-forming apparatus and filling the molten metal is filled into a mold cavity. A high-level vacuum environment is created in the apparatus by drawing air from the apparatus which is sealed from atmospheric air. This makes it possible to reduce contact with air, which can improve the quality of the metal product.

Vessels used for melting material to be injection molded to form a part are described. One vessel has a body formed from a plurality of elongate segments configured to be electrically isolated from each other and with a melting portion for melting meltable material therein. Material can be provided between adjacent segments. An induction coil can be used to melt the material in the body. Other vessels have a body with an embedded induction coil therein. The embedded coil can be configured to surround the melting portion, or can be positioned below and/or adjacent the melting portion, so that meltable material is melted. The vessels can be used to melt amorphous alloys, for example.

Provided are a dual injection system and a synchronization control method thereof. The system includes a primary injection system and a secondary injection system, where the primary injection system and the secondary injection system each include a speed injection oil circuit and a booster oil circuit; the speed injection oil circuit of the primary injection system and the speed injection oil circuit of the secondary injection system are arranged independently of each other; and the booster oil circuit of the primary injection system and the booster oil circuit of the secondary injection system each include an A-bridge valve group and are arranged in coordination with each other. The method is configured to perform a synchronization control on the primary injection system and the secondary injection system of the system.

An injection device for the production of at least one molded part made of amorphous metallic alloy, including: (i) a mold having at least two injection chambers connected to at least one cavity; and (ii) at least one heating means capable of melting metallic elements; and a multi-piston system including: (1) at least two injection pistons whose respective main axes are each aligned with that of their corresponding injection chamber and (2) a support cooperating with each of the injection pistons; and such that the support and/or the mold are able to move along an axis parallel to the main axes of the injection pistons so as to allow the loading of the metallic elements and the injection of the molten metallic elements into the injection chambers. Also, an injection method for the production of at least one molded part made of amorphous metallic alloy.
