Casting mold for producing a fiber-reinforced composite article by die-casting process

摘要

A mold (9) is provided which is capable of producing a sound fiber-reinforced composite article utilizing a die-casting process. A cavity (22) in the mold includes a composite article forming area in which a formed product of fiber is located, a molten metal storing area located adjacent the composite article forming area to fill a molten metal into the formed product of fiber, and a molten metal flow slackening area (C) for reducing the turbulent flow of the molten metal from gates to introduce it to the molten metal storing area. Thus, the flow of the molten metal introduced into the molten metal storing area, is brought into a substantially laminar flow state, so that the inclusion of air in the molten metal flow is inhibited. Therefore, the molten metal in the molten metal storing area can be smoothly filled into the formed product of fiber under pressure.
