    摘要: The provision or use, for the pressure casting of magnesium alloy in a molten or thixotropic state with a pressure casting machine having a mould or die which defines a die cavity, of a metal flow system which includes a die or mould tool means which defines at least one runner from which molten magnesium alloy is able to be injected into the die cavity. The metal flow system is of a form providing for control of metal flow velocities within the flow system, whereby substantially all of the metal flowing throughout the die cavity is in a viscous or semi-solid state. Filling of the die cavity is able to proceed progressively by semi-solid fronts of metal moving away from a gate or other site of injection. The flow of magnesium alloy from the runner may be via at least one controlled expansion region of the metal flow system in which region the metal flow is able to spread laterally, with respect to its direction of injection, with a resultant reduction in its flow velocity relative to its velocity in the runner.

    摘要: Apparatus (10) for producing a semi-solid metal alloy from a molten charge includes vertically aligned treatment zones (12, 12.1) and (12.2) which are provided by vertically aligned passages defined by a plurality of spirally wound flow pipes (132) which are interspersed between spirally wound induction coils (130). A container (14) is mounted on a charging arrangement (20) which displaces a first charge upwardly into the first treatment zone (12). Successive charges are introduced in a similar fashion thereby urging the previously introduced charge upwardly along the train of zones (12, 12.1 and 12.2) until the leading charge is ejected from the top of the apparatus (10). The charge in each zone is subjected to controlled cooling and an induced electromagnetic field. The strength of the field and the rate of cooling are controlled to impede dendritic crystallisation and to promote globular primary crystal formation.

    摘要: A die casting system includes a vessel (12) defining a reservoir (30) with a controlled heater (22) and an agitator (14) for maintaining the bath (16) of semi-solid metal (34) in a homogenous isothermal state, a transfer system (107) capable of transferring a known quantity (122) of metal in its semi-solid state to a mold cavity in a die casting machine, the transfer system (107) including a heated suction tube (108), a vacuum source for vacuum ladling semi-solid metal (34) from the bath (16) to a die, and a plunger tip (132) providing a path for free air flow to allow evacuation of the suction tube (108) during casting and a metal replacement system for replacing the known quantity (122) of transferred metal with a similar amount (126) of liquid metal (32) so that a stable homogenous isothermal bath (16) of semi-solid metal (34) is controllably maintained to be available for die casting operations.
