A method for producing a motor vehicle rim made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a motor vehicle wheel. The motor vehicle rim has a rim base delimited on opposite sides by an outer horn and an inner horn, a hub with a central recess and a hole circle and a rim center connecting the rim base and the hub to one another and acting eccentrically on the rim base in longitudinal section. The motor vehicle rim is produced in one piece and continuously in a casting mold by vacuum die casting of a casting material, wherein the motor vehicle rim has a small wall thickness of at most 15 mm at least in some regions and/or a curvature with a small radius of curvature of at most 4 mm.

An aluminum casting method is for pouring an aluminum molten metal (12) pumped up by an electromagnetic pump (20) into a die (50). A thickness of a powder demolding agent applied to the die (50) is set to be thinner than that of a demolding agent for a gravity die casting. A temperature of the die immediately before the molten metal is poured is controlled so as to fall within a range that is between 110° C. to 250° C. A temperature of the molten metal when poured is controlled to be a value obtained by adding 20° C. to 55° C. to a liquidus-line temperature of the aluminum.

A mold degassing device which can reduce the likelihood of particulates entering between a valve stem and an insertion hole is provided. The mold degassing device (10, 40, 50) includes an inflow passage (11, 41, 51), a discharge passage (12), a communication passage (13), a valve device (30) for opening and closing the communication passage (13), a gas-flow adjusting part to adjust a gas flow. A wall surface forming the communication passage (13) is provided with an insertion hole (32d) through which a valve stem (31) of the valve device (30) is inserted. The gas-flow adjusting part is positioned closer to the inflow passage (11, 41, 51) than the insertion hole (32d) and, when gas is discharged, generates a gas flow directed rotationally about an axis (C).

A venting device for venting a casting mold in the form of a chill vent having two mold halves which oppose each other and are complementary to each other in form and function, each mold half having a plurality of elevations and indentations in the areas facing each other and the elevations of one mold half engaging with the indentations of the second mold half, and a gap being formed between the two mold halves when the mold halves are placed on each other, air and surplus molten material flowing out through said gap when the casting mold is being filled, the gap having, in the flow direction of the molten material, a saw-toothed course having several sawtooth portions disposed in a row in the flow direction, each sawtooth portion having a leading edge inclined in the flow direction and a trailing edge inclined against the flow direction.

A heat dissipation mechanism for connecting with at least one heat source includes a main body and at least one heat dissipation block. The main body is made by a material of alloy or metal through a die casting process and has a first side and a second side that are corresponding to each other. The heat dissipation block is disposed on the first side of the main body, made by a first high thermal conductivity material, and having a connecting surface that protrudes outside the main body. The connecting surface directly or indirectly connects with the heat source. The heat dissipation block connects with the main body by means of a first connecting structure, the first connecting structure having a first pair of interlock structures that are disposed in the main body and the heat dissipation block respectively.

Disclosed are a die-casting die, a die-casting device and an ultra-high speed die-casting method. The die-casting die comprises a die body, the die body is arranged with a feed port, a pouring potion and a cavity portion, the pouring potion is arranged with a pouring runner communicating to the feed port, and the cavity portion is arranged with a molding cavity; the die body is arranged with a gate portion between the cavity portion and the pouring potion, the gate portion is arranged with an ingate runner communicating the molding cavity and the pouring runner, the ingate runner is a plurality of ingate runners, and each ingate runner is arranged in sequence in the width direction of a side of the gate portion facing the molding cavity; a communicating position between the ingate runner and the molding cavity is an ingate.

A diecasting mold, comprising a first mold plate which is hot in operation and comprising at least one diecasting nozzle with an outlet point for a melt, and a second mold plate which forms a cold side. A mold cavity is formed between the first and second mold plates in a closed state of the diecasting mold, in which mold cavity a molded part can be produced from solidified melt introduced into the mold cavity via at least one melt channel, at least one diecasting nozzle and the at least one gate. The diecasting mold further comprises a demolding system, the demolding system comprising an ejector assembly, a drive device, and a force transmission device. A hot chamber system for diecasting metal melt according to the hot chamber method is also taught, a method for diecasting metal, and a use of a diecasting mold.

A device and a method are provided for measuring the moisture in die cast molds, the cavity of which is connected via an evacuation conduit to an evacuation device. The modular assembly of the device is connectable to the evacuation conduit and includes a sensor assembly to measure the moisture of gases evacuated from the mold cavity. The sensor assembly includes an emitter emitting electromagnetic radiation and a detector detecting electromagnetic radiation. On the basis of the measured values obtained during the evacuation action it can be determined whether the amount of a water/release agent mixture jetted into the mold cavity needs to be altered before the actual casting action.

A hot metal supply injection method includes generating a negative pressure in a cylindrical container by a negative pressure generation device, and causing molten metal to be sucked into the cylindrical container from a retention furnace, while keeping an opening portion of the cylindrical container immersed in the molten metal, arranging the opening portion of the cylindrical container in a gate of a cavity while holding the negative pressure by closing up the opening portion of the cylindrical container after moving an inner plunger tip to a tip side of the cylindrical container, and moving the inner plunger tip to a rear end side of the cylindrical container, then moving an outer plunger tip, together with the inner plunger tip, to the tip side of the cylindrical container, and filling the interior of the cavity with the molten metal through injection via the gate.
