摘要:
An apparatus for casting articles made of aluminum, aluminum alloys, light alloys and the like, comprising, on a platen (1), at least one lower die (2) and at least one upper die (3); a duct (4) for introducing liquid metal that approaches from below and is connected to a furnace leads into the lower die (2); the lower die forms a lower impression (10) which, in cooperation with an upper impression (11) of the upper die (3), provides a region for containing a dosed quantity of liquid metal; on the upper die, a flow control element (30) is provided that acts on the connecting port (5) of the feed duct (4), and a compaction plug (20), which forms a portion of the upper impression (11) and can perform a translational motion independently of the flow control element (30) in order to provide the article being cast.
