By the way, during vacuum casting, air may enter from the outside into the cavity 22 due to the contact surface between the movable die 11 and the fixed die 12, etc., and a sufficient degree of vacuum in the cavity 22 may not be ensured. In addition, a desired vacuum degree may not be ensured due to a failure of the vacuum source device.

When such a situation occurs, a blowhole occurs inside the molded product, and the molded product must be discarded as a defective product. Furthermore, if the discovery of this situation is delayed, many defective products will be generated at once.

And, such a porosity is a vacuum degree (decompression degree)
Decrease accordingly. Figure 5 shows an example of the
When the degree of vacuum is low (that is, when the pressure in the cavity is high), the amount of gas in the molded product (total volume of the porosity) is large,
The amount of gas is small when the degree of vacuum is high (when the pressure in the cavity is low).

In general, the lower the amount of gas in the molded product, the better. However, in order to reduce the amount of gas, the degree of vacuum must be increased as described above. In addition, in order to increase the degree of vacuum, various seam means must be taken in order to prevent air from entering the cavity, which increases the cost. Further, the prevention of such air intrusion becomes more difficult as the vacuum degree becomes higher.

Further, as described above, the quality of the die-cast molded product varies depending on the number of cavities. The relationship between the number of cavities and the quality is higher as the number of cavities is smaller, but the allowable amount of the cavities may be relatively large depending on the use of the molded product. In other words, the allowable range of the number of cavities and the total capacity varies depending on the type of molded product, that is, the shape, material, application, etc.

1. A vacuum casting method in which a mold is contacted to form a cavity, and the cavity is depressurized to a level not lower than a reference vacuum corresponding to the type of cast product to be obtained, and molten metal is injected into the cavity. Therefore, the inside of the cavity is decompressed and the degree of vacuum inside the cavity is measured before the molten metal is injected. After that, the molten metal is injected into the cavity, and the degree of vacuum inside the cavity and the reference vacuum according to the cast product to be obtained are measured. A vacuum casting method characterized in that the quality of the cast product is determined by comparing it with the degree.
