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 method and apparatus for producing semi-solid material castings from its liquid state in a shot chamber of a die casting machine where the liquid material is poured into a shot chamber and rapidly cooled from its liquid state to temperatures below its liquidus. High-intensity ultrasonic vibration is coupled to the plunger, shot plate, or sprue-spreader while the cast material is injected by the plunger to fill the die cavity. The combined action of rapid cooling from the shot chamber, vigorous pushing by the plunger, and radiation of ultrasonic vibration on the cast material in the shot chamber directly turns the initial liquid material directly into a semi-solid slurry by breaking up dendrites and making these dendritic fragments globular. The slurry is then injected into the die cavity to form a casting.

There is provided a vehicular suspension arm used for a suspension device of a vehicle. The vehicular suspension arm according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a body portion constituting a basic body of the vehicular suspension arm; and a mounting portion formed in one end of the body portion and configured to connect the vehicular suspension arm to a wheel or a vehicle body of the vehicle, wherein the body portion may have a closed-box-section structure in which a hollow inner space is defined, and the closed-box-section structure may be configured such that the body portion is formed to integrally extend around the hollow inner space.

The invention discloses a digital full-automatic die casting apparatus, comprising a longitudinal mounting plate, a mold arranged on a front surface of the longitudinal mounting plate, a mold locking device including a plurality of mold locking mechanisms surrounding the periphery of the mold, an injection device arranged on a back surface of the longitudinal mounting plate, and a PLC controller electrically connected to the mold locking device and the injection device respectively, wherein the mold locking mechanism comprises a mold locking fixed-point assembly arranged on the longitudinal mounting plate, and a hydraulic mold locking assembly connected to the mold locking fixed-point assembly; the mold locking fixed-point assembly comprises a fixed-point servo motor arranged on the longitudinal mounting plate and electrically connected to the PLC controller, a fixed-point screw connected to the mold, a nut screwed to the fixed-point screw, and a transmission structure connected between the fixed-point servo motor and the nut; and the hydraulic mold locking assembly acts on the nut. The digital full-automatic die casting apparatus provided by the invention has a high accuracy and smooth operation of each mechanism, and a high degree of automation, with high efficiency and high quality of cast products.

A method of making a test coupon using a mold is provided. The mold defines a mold cavity that comprises a first-grip-portion cavity, a second-grip-portion cavity, an intermediate-portion cavity, interconnecting the first-grip-portion cavity and the second-grip-portion cavity, and runner cavities, directly interconnecting the first-grip-portion cavity and the second-grip-portion cavity and not directly connected to the intermediate-portion cavity. The method comprises injecting feedstock material, comprising a metal powder, into the mold cavity to form a monolithic precursor test coupon in the mold cavity, wherein the monolithic precursor test coupon comprises a first grip portion, a second grip portion, an intermediate portion, and runners. The method also comprises removing the runners from the monolithic precursor test coupon.

The present disclosure relates to a casting apparatus including a support block, a die provided on one surface of the support block and configured to form a cavity in cooperation with the support block, and an insert member provided to be movable relative to the support block and configured to selectively move between a first position at which the insert member is received in the cavity and a second position at which the insert member is extracted out of the cavity, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of simplifying a structure and a manufacturing process.
