Abstract

A mold includes an ingot mold and a top core. The top core is disposed in and/or on the ingot mold. The top core forms, in part, a functional surface of a component formed in the mold and the ingot mold forms at least a sub-region of the functional surface of the component formed in the mold.

Claims (12)

1. A mold, comprising:

an ingot mold; and

a top core, wherein the top core is disposed in and/or on the ingot mold, wherein the top core forms, in part, a functional surface of a component formed in the mold, and wherein the ingot mold forms at least a sub-region of the functional surface of the component formed in the mold, wherein the ingot mold includes two molding parts which are displaceable laterally in a direction of the top core, and wherein the two molding parts are pivotable.

2. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein the functional surface is a cover flange and wherein the component is a cylinder head.

3. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein, for a purpose of forming the functional surface, the top core and the two molding parts have respective molding surfaces which merge one inside the other without any offset.

4. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two molding parts has a second molding element which forms a second bearing location in the functional surface.

5. The mold according to claim 4 , wherein the second bearing location is a second bearing tunnel, wherein the functional surface is a cover flange, and wherein the component is a cylinder head.

6. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the top core corresponds to a length of the component along a longitudinal direction of the component.

7. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein the top core has a plurality of cylindrical feeders.

8. The mold according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of cylindrical feeders are disposed one after the other along a longitudinal direction of the component.

9. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein the top core has a first molding element which forms a first bearing location in the functional surface.

10. The mold according to claim 9 , wherein the first bearing location is a first bearing tunnel, wherein the functional surface is a cover flange, and wherein the component is a cylinder head.
