摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the uphill casting of cast pieces in sand dies with resinous, or, in particular, binder-containing cast cores and controlled solidification of metallic cast pieces, comprising at least one cavity. Said pieces are, in particular, prototypes of engine blocks, or cylinder heads, for example, for internal combustion engines, with a cavity for the throughflow of cooling water. In order to guarantee a low-turbulence flow of fluid metal melt on ventilating the cast mould, the cast mould (1), with at least one feed (24), is connected to a sprue cup (24) by means of a casting system (22) and the metal melt contained therein forced into the cast mould (1) through the casting system (22) by gravity. After filling the cavity (11") a vacuum is created in the metal melt, greater than the pressure of core gases generated in the core. Air cushions in the mould are, thus, prevented from impeding the filling of the mould and, by means of the above method, impervious, pore-free, mechanically sound cast pieces are produced.
