A system for the expulsion of bars or metal ingots from the molds in which they are formed and a plant for the production of bars or ingots including such system and to a process for the expulsion of bars or metal ingots from molds are detailed herein.

The expulsion system of metal bars or ingots from molds includes a load-bearing structure to which a rotation cradle is rotatably associated adapted to support and hold back at least a mold having at least a body or ingot mold having at least one cavity for the formation of at least one ingot or bar. The rotation cradle is adapted to rotate to cause the expulsion by fall of the bar or ingot contained within the ingot mold. An impact plane or impact surface is arranged below the rotation cradle and adapted to receive the bar or ingot falling from the body.

A casting and outputting system is provided. The system includes a casting machine, a disc body, a transfer device, a special fixture, a cooling tank, a collection device and a waste plate rack. The transfer device is configured to drive the special fixture to take out anode plates cast on the disc body, place a qualified one of the anode plates in the cooling tank, place an unqualified one of the anode plates on the waste plate rack, lift the anode plate cooled in the cooling tank, and place the cooled anode plate on the collection device for stacking.

A cast steel alloy for an engine of a vehicle is provided. The cast steel alloy comprises 0.29 to 0.65 weight percent (wt %) carbon, 0.40 to 0.80 wt % silicon, 0.6 to 1.5 wt % manganese, up to 0.03 wt % phosphorus, 0.04 to 0.07 wt % sulfur, 0.8 to 1.4 wt % chromium, 0.2 to 0.6 wt % nickel, 0.15 to 0.55 wt % molybdenum, 0.25 to 2.0 wt % copper, up to 0.03 wt % titanium, 0.07 to 0.17 wt % vanadium, 0.02 to 0.06 wt % aluminum, up to 0.03 wt % nitrogen (N), and 0.01 to 0.06 wt % of at least one of cerium (Ce) and lanthanum. The cast steel alloy has unexpected and unconventional results such as reduced ferrite and enhanced strengths.

A titanium composite material includes a titanium matrix material and a powder reinforced composite material with a volume ratio of 10%-70%. The titanium matrix material is disposed at an α phase, a β phase, an α+β phase, an omega phase, or an intermetallic α-1, α-2, α-3 phase. The powder reinforced composite material is selected from a ceramic powder material, a powder material with electric features or a magnetic powder material. Thus, the powder reinforced composite material is added into and combined with the titanium matrix material to form the titanium composite material by casting, agglomerating or pressing, so that the titanium matrix material contains the physical, chemical or electric features of the titanium matrix material and the powder reinforced composite material.

A method for producing iron metal castings, wherein an expendable mold having a cavity for holding casting material is inserted into an opened multi-part permanent mold, the permanent mold is closed, the cavity is filled with casting material, wherein a supporting device partially protruding into the cavity is partially overcast, the expendable mold is cooled in the permanent mold after the filling, the permanent mold is opened during the cooling, after the liquidus temperature has been fallen below at the earliest, and the expendable mold is nondestructively removed from the permanent mold together with the casting, the expendable mold is further cooled together with the solidified casting while hanging on the supporting device, at least until the microstructure formation of the casting is concluded, the casting is demolded by removing the expendable mold.

An object is to provide a casting device that is capable of maintaining depressurization in a cavity. A casting device (1) is configured to move an extrusion pin (3), slidably inserted in an insertion hole (29) formed in a mold (2), into a cavity (20) in the mold to release a casted product. The casting device (1) includes a depressurized space creator (4) configured to create a depressurized space (40) on a reverse side of a cavity surface to define the cavity (20). The depressurized space creator (4) covers an opening of the insertion hole (29) to maintain depressurization in the cavity (20).
