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 molten metal bath is also disclosed.

A mold temperature control system includes: an inference model generating portion configured to, based on a plurality of pieces of thermo image data of a mold acquired at predetermined intervals and pieces of teaching data associated with the plurality of pieces of thermo image data, learn a predetermined number of consecutive pieces of time-series image data extracted from the plurality of pieces of thermo image data as one piece of sample data to generate an inference model for detecting a sign of a temperature anomaly of the mold; a mold temperature anomaly degree inference portion configured to detect occurrence of the sign of the temperature anomaly of the mold the predetermined number ahead, using the inference model, based on the predetermined number of pieces of time-series image data of the mold; and a warning lamp request transmitting portion configured to control lighting-up of a warning lamp.

The present technology includes a hydraulic die-casting machine with electric motor actuated by an inverter, which provides an energy saving evaluation system with respect to a die-casting machine without inverter. The hydraulic die-casting machine includes an injection assembly provided with an injection piston for pressurizing case metal poured into a die and a hydraulic circuit for actuating the injection piston, a hydraulic pump for feeding the hydraulic circuit through a delivery line, an electric motor for actuating the hydraulic pump and an inverter for actuating the electric motor, and an evaluation system for evaluation of the energy savings provided by the present tehcnology.

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 the 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).
