Abstract:
A casting metal mold made of a copper alloy consisting essentially of 0.01 to 3 wt % of zirconium, 0.03 to 5 wt % of titanium and, as required, 0.03 to 2 wt % of chromium and the balance substantially copper, the copper alloy having a structure in which precipitate phase consisting of compound of copper and at least one of zirconium, titanium and chromium exists, and having a Brinell hardness between H.sub.B 100 to H.sub.B 500 and an electric conductivity between 20 and 80% in terms of IACS. This metal mold suffers only small deformation during casting and, hence, less liable to cause run-out of the melt. The casting obtained by this metal mold, therefore, has no or only slight fins.
Abstract:
(A method for reinforcing a refractory mold by wrapping a carbonaceous textile material around the surface of the mold. The textile material may be coated with a binder and the assembly subsequently baked to a temperature sufficient to coke the binder in order to reinforce and mechanically link the textile material) A fiber reinforced hot pressing mold composed of a conventional refractory mold encased by a carbonaceous textile material. The textile material is coated with a binder prior to, or subsequent to, being wrapped around the surface of the mold and then the mold assembly so prepared is baked to a temperature sufficient to coke the binder in order to reinforce and mechanically link the textile material.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A METAL DIE OR MOLD INCLUDING THE STEPS OF PLACING A PATTERN, CORRESPONDING IN CONFIGURATION TO THAT OF THE CAVITY SURFACE OF A DESIRED DIE, IN A FRAME, OR BOX, FILLING THE FRAME WITH A SINTERING POWDER SUCH AS IRON, COOPPER, IRON AD GRAPHITE, OR MIXTURES THEREOF, AND HEATING THE POWDER TOGETHER WITH THE PATTERN IN THE FRAME TO SINTERING TEMPERATURE, WHEREBY TO FORM A DIE COMPLEMENTING THE PATTERN IN THE CONFIGURATION.
Abstract:
A metal mold is prepared by an electrical machining process wherein one of a base metal mold and an upper metal mold is electrically shaped by using an electrode having a desired shape on a surface thereof facing the workpiece, and the electrode then is fitted into the shaped metal mold to make a composite electrode of the two, and if necessary, the opposite surface of the electrode is also shaped. The other metal mold is then electrically shaped by using the composite electrode having the desired shape. With this invention, it is possible to provide a metal mold for thin articles, such as plastic articles.
Abstract:
A coating for the casting surfaces of a generally circular graphite mold, the coating thickness varying inversely as the distance from the centerline of the mold.
