Abstract

A production method for producing cast parts from metal using a sand casting mold ( 1 ). The sand casting mold ( 1 ) is produced in this case in a molding box ( 2 ) by means of a negative-pressure molding method. According to the invention, the sand casting mold ( 1 ), which is under negative pressure, in the molding box ( 2 ) is first of all filled with molten metal ( 5 ). The molding box ( 2 ) with the sand casting mold ( 1 ), which is under negative pressure therein, is then completely or partially impinged upon by a cooling fluid ( 4 ) and after, at the same time as, or before the cooling fluid impingement is opened at places with cooling fluid impingement. As a result of this, cooling fluid ( 4 ) is sucked into the sand casting mold ( 1 ) which is under negative pressure, as a result of which the solidifying cast part ( 3 ) is quenched more quickly.

Claims (16)

1. A method for producing cast parts from metal using a sand casting mould, comprising:

producing the sand casting mould in a moulding box by a negative-pressure moulding method

filling the produced sand casting mould in the moulding box with molten metal

cooling the sand casting mould and the cast part solidifying therein with a cooling liquid,

wherein the sand casting mould, which is under negative pressure, in the moulding box is first filled with molten metal,

the moulding box with the sand casting mould, which is under negative pressure therein, is then completely or partially impinged upon by a cooling liquid;

the moulding box after, at the same time as, or before the cooling liquid impingement is opened at places with cooling liquid impingement so that the cooling liquid is sucked into the sand casting mould which is under negative pressure and as a result quenches the solidifying cast part; and

the impingement of the moulding box with the cooling liquid is carried out in a cooling basin, the moulding box is partially or completely immersed into the cooling basin in this case.

2. A method for producing cast parts from metal using a sand casting mould, comprising:

producing the sand casting mould in a moulding box by a negative-pressure moulding method

filling the produced sand casting mould in the moulding box with molten metal

cooling the sand casting mould and the cast part solidifying therein with a cooling liquid,

wherein the sand casting mould, which is under negative pressure, in the moulding box is first filled with molten metal,

the moulding box with the sand casting mould, which is under negative pressure therein, is then completely or partially impinged upon by a cooling liquid;

the moulding box after, at the same time as, or before the cooling liquid impingement is opened at places with cooling liquid impingement so that the cooling liquid is sucked into the sand casting mould which is under negative pressure and as a result quenches the solidifying cast part;

wherein the moulding box is immersed into a cooling basin horizontally in the casting position or in a position rotated by an angle of 0 to 180 degrees around a horizontal or vertical axis, the immersion into a cooling basin taking place in a time-controlled manner.
