A method of over-molding a hybrid sub-assembly onto a base structure includes providing a mold for an over-molding process. The mold may comprise a lower mold tool, an upper mold tool, and a tube locator positioned on one of the upper mold tool or lower mold tool. A base structure formed of a first material is located into the tube locator. A mandrel tool is inserted into an opening in the base structure. The upper and lower mold tools are closed and clamped shut. A second material, such as a lighter weight or lower density material is heated to at least a semi-solid or slurry state. The semi-solid or slurry is injected into the mold to form a molded sub-assembly that is mechanically bonded to the base structure.

The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing a mould element for moulding a tread by injection of pressurized aluminium, characterized in that it includes a die and a steel counterform, said die and said counterform forming a chamber, and in that the die has slots into which strips are inserted, said slots being wider than the thickness of the strip to enable the strips to come out of the slots when demoulding the mould element from the chamber, and in that the insertion depth of the slots is equal to or less than 25 mm. The chosen width of the slot is a compromise between the hold of the strip during injection of the pressurized aluminium and the ease of demoulding said strip. The slots are blind in order to limit the penetration of the strips, which only project from one side and do not pass through the die.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a mold improved to tune the position of an insert pin for forming a hole in a molded article. The mold includes a core forming a cavity corresponding to a molded article, a forming plate accommodating the core, and an insert pin configured to penetrate the forming plate and the core in a first direction to form a hole in the molded article inside the cavity and be movable along the first direction.
