Record 7 1983-07-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Foundry Practice
CONT

A vacuum-feed system depends on pressure difference to force the metal from the holding furnace to the shot chamber [in die casting].(...) a vacuum pump evacuates the air from the shot chamber and the heated tube(usually by way of the casting cavity and through a filter or trap). The metal from the holding pot then flows through the heated tube and into the shot chamber, to fill the vacuum.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fonderie
OBS

Évolutions du procédé (du moulage en coquille coulée sous pression). [...] Emploi du moulage en dépression qui consiste à aspirer l'air du moule par des moyens divers afin d'obtenir des pièces plus minces, plus compactes, de plus bel aspect superficiel, coulée à plus basse température et à des cadences plus élevées [...]
