    摘要: A method of manufacturing semi-solidified molten metal includes a step of keeping discharging inert gas from a probe in a continuous manner, and inserting the probe into molten metal held at a temperature that is higher than a temperature of the probe and that is equal to or higher than a liquidus-line temperature, a step of extracting the inserted probe from the molten metal such that at least part of a region of a surface of the inserted probe that is in contact with the molten metal is exposed from the molten metal, and a step of inserting the extracted probe again into the molten metal.

    摘要: A machine for forming metal bars, in particular for producing ingots made of precious metal such as gold, silver, precious alloys, as well as other pure metals or different alloys, in the form of solid metal powder, grits or swarf of various sizes, having an ingot mold and a cover for closing the ingot mold when filled, the ingot mold has a dimension in height such that the cover passes from a first position to a second position when the volume occupied by the mass of metal that fills the ingot mold reduces gradually up to one third of the initial solid volume. In the first position the cover rests on the metal that fills the ingot mold and remains raised with respect to an abutting edge of the ingot mold, in such a manner that the bottom of the cover compresses and thus uniformly compacts the powders, the grits or the swarf so that, during the melting step, in the second position, the cover lowers progressively as the metal melts, until it rests on the abutting edge of the ingot mold, thus hermetically closing the ingot mold.
