METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING RETICULAR STRUCTURES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing reticular structures, especially made of metal, and to a device suited therefor. The aim of the invention is to simplify the production of reticula r structures so that they can be automatically manufactured. The invention also seeks a method which permits the large scale manufacturin g of reticular structures having large dimensions. To these ends, the following steps are used: (1) inserting a reticulated foam preliminary structure into a container that can be opened; (2) infiltrating this structure with a fire-resistant material; (3) hardening th e material (4); taking out the hardened fire-resistant material from said container; (5) removing the foam pre-structure; (6) inserting the resulting preheated body into a heat-resistant container; (7) infiltrating the body with a molten metal, and; (8) taking out the resulting body after the molten metal has solidified and removing the fire-resistant material. The device is comprised of a fire-resistant contain er whose interior is larger than the fire-resistant preheated body.
