SEMI-SOLIDIFIED CASTING METHOD AND MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semi-solidified casting method and machine wherein a specific amount of part taken from semi-solidified metal is supplied into a molding machine. SOLUTION: Semi-solidified metal M kept in a semi-solidifying unit 1 is charged from a discharging port 131a into the weighing hole 21 of a receiving member 20. The charged semi-solidified metal is cut from the remainder by the receiving member 20 itself and the specific amount of the semi-solidified metal m is weighed. Then the semi-solidified metal m is supplied into the molding machine 3. The rotational move of the receiving member 20 repeats the charging stage where the semi-solidified metal M is charged by making the weighing hole 21 communicate with the discharging port 131a, the cutting stage where the communication of the weighing hole 21 with the discharging port 131a is finished and the specific amount of the semi-solidified metal is cut from the remainder by the opening end 21 a of the weighing hole 21, and the discharging stage where the semi-solidified metal m in the weighing hole 21 is discharged. It is preferable to design the discharging port 131a to be blocked by the outer circumferential surface 20a when the weighing hole 21 does not communicate with the discharging port 131a.
