CASTING PROCESS AND MOULD

摘要

In a process for casting a piston (10) for an internal combustion engine, the mould portions which define the casting cavity are tilted through at least 45 degrees about a horizontal axis after filling and before solidification in such a manner that the axis of rotation (A) of the component (10) moves in the direction of the vertical. What is further disclosed is a casting mould for casting a piston (10) for an internal combustion engine, in which the mould portions which define the casting cavity are tiltable through at least 45 degrees about a horizontal axis after filling and before solidification in such a manner that the axis of rotation (A) of the piston (10) moves in the direction of the vertical.
