  • the permanent moldings are characterized by the fact that they are not destroyed during removal of the casting, but preserved and can be reused accordingly for many casting runs.
  • casting cores or molded parts can also be positioned as usual in a permanent casting mold according to the invention within the mold cavity, which decay into many free-flowing individual parts as a result of targeted mechanical force or the thermal stresses occurring during the casting. Casting cores of this type are required, for example, in permanent casting molds if channels, cavities, etc. are to be formed within the respective casting.
  • this mold package consists of a material which breaks when the cast part is completely removed from the mold and surrounds a mold cavity section.
  • the mold cavity section surrounded by the mold package is in communication with the mold cavity of the permanent mold, so that melt filled into the mold cavity of the permanent mold passes into the mold cavity section of the mold package and vice versa.
  • the permanent casting mold is supplemented by a mold package which, viewed individually, is designed in the manner of a lost casting mold and is newly created for each casting process.
  • a mold package which, viewed individually, is designed in the manner of a lost casting mold and is newly created for each casting process.
  • the invention combines the advantages of a permanent mold with the advantages of a mold package designed as a lost mold. Since the volume of the functional part respectively imaged by the mold package is small compared to the volume that is imaged in the mold cavity surrounded by the permanent mold parts, the expense to be taken into account for the production of the mold package is also in relation to the advantages resulting from the design according to the invention a mold can be achieved, low.
  • the mold package associated parts of the permanent mold and the mold package can be designed so that in the finished composite permanent mold the mold package is applied to an outer surface of the permanent mold.
  • a separate seal may be provided for sealing the existing between the permanent mold and the mold package joining gap. This can for example also be arranged so that it acts between the peripheral wall of the opening, which is associated with the mold package, and a corresponding surface of the mold package.
  • At least one first mold element and formed on at least one of the Treasureg cashformmaschine a corresponding to the first mold element shaped second mold element may be formed on the mold package, the form-fitting with the mold element of the mold package cooperates.

  • the opening of the permanent mold associated with the mold package may contribute to the proper alignment of the mold package when the opening of the permanent mold associated with the mold package widens, at least in sections, starting from the mold cavity of the permanent mold in the direction of the outer surface of the permanent mold.
  • the opening is then designed in the manner of a funnel in such a way that the mold package inserted into the opening is automatically aligned during its mounting on the surfaces of the widening sections lying against it.
  • the edge region, which surrounds the opening associated with the mold package may be designed tapering at least in sections in the direction of the mold cavity of the permanent mold or in the manner of a throat.
  • the mold package forming the functional element to be molded will typically be composed of two or more moldings or mold cores.
  • the mold package can map a functional part, which is integrally connected to the cylinder head with finished cast cylinder head and has at least one channel which is connected without interruption with a channel of the cylinder head.
  • a functional part may be, for example, the housing or a housing part of a turbocharger.
  • the mold package may, for example, moldings, through which the outer shape of the housing or housing part is determined, and mold cores, which image the exhaust passage and an optionally additionally provided cooling fluid channel in the housing.
  • the mold package then comprises a first mold core which images a water channel of the functional part connected to the water jacket of the cylinder head to be cast, and a second mold core which images an exhaust gas duct connected to an exhaust pipe of the cylinder head.
  • a continuous casting mold which is supplemented according to the invention by a mold package which is made from a mold material which breaks down into many individual parts during removal from the mold, is suitable in particular for producing cast parts from a light metal melt, in particular an aluminum melt, since the use of such light metal melts is particularly advantageous
  • Benefit from the chill casting in combination with the benefits of Formvolsses can be used to produce, for example, complex cylinder head designs for internal combustion engines, which on the one hand optimal Function integration and on the other hand, a minimization of production costs.
  • At least one molding element may be provided on the casting mold for imaging a first receiving point on the casting.
  • a first reception point or several such initial reception points are used in particular in automated machining as a starting point for the measurement of the geometry of the respective casting.
  • the Clearage determine the "zero points" for the alignment of the machining tool or the respective workpiece to be machined in the x-, y- and z-direction.
  • the portion of the casting shown in the destructible mold package is a special one Machining must be subjected to the particular requirements, for example, in terms of geometry, in particular the correct position positioning of the respective processing sections, provided, it may be useful if an additional mold element is provided on the mold, which at the imaged in the mold package section of Cast part forms an additional Clearageyak.
  • This additional initial reception point can form the basis for an additional reference system which is independent of the reference system, which is based on the initial reception generally provided on the casting.
  • This possibility proves to be particularly advantageous if an exhaust-gas turbocharger housing is depicted in the mold package, the mounting surface of which and the machined functional geometries for the turbocharger to be assembled require machining performed with extreme precision.
