SEMI-MOLTEN OR SEMI-SOLIDIFIED MOLDING METHOD AND MOLDING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention provides a semimolten or semisolid molding method and a molding apparatus that can prevent misruns, air inclusions, and cold shuts during molding. The semimolten or semisolid molding method is a method of casting a molded article (50), which comprises a flat plate portion (52) and a projected portion (51) that projects from one surface of the flat plate portion (52), with a semimolten or semisolid metal. The molding method comprises the step of: filling a cavity (13), which is a casting space of the molded article (50) formed inside a forming mold (2), with the semimolten or semisolid metal in plate thickness directions of the flat plate portion (52) starting from an other surface on the opposite side of the flat plate portion (52) to a one surface wherefrom the projected portion (51) projects.
