More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a disintegrative core for use in high pressure casting. The disintegrative core can be applied where a light metal such as an aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy is subjected to high pressure casting, such as die casting or squeeze casting and is manufactured from a water-soluble salt which is high in latent heat and ranges, in melting point, from 280 to 520° C. and, in heat transfer coefficient (kappa), from 9.8x10<-2 >to 1.2x10 W/m.° C. The water-soluble salt, alone or in combination with a fine hard powder, is melted and solidified in a core mold. Alternatively, the melt is processed into a fine powder which is then molded in a core mold. The method can be applied for the manufacture of complex shapes of cores. Also, disclosed is a method for extracting such a core from a high pressure molded product.
