APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SEMI-SOLID METAL, PRODUCING METHOD FOR SEMI-SOLID METAL, AND SEMI-SOLID METAL

摘要

An apparatus (1) for producing semi-solid metal comprises: a heating device (13), which heats a metal material (101); a container (21); a cooling device (23), which cools the container (21); and a pouring device (5), which injects the metal material (101) into the container (21). The container (21) includes: a hollow member (31), which is a part of the wall of the container (21), which is open in upper and lower ends, and where the metal material (101) is injected from the open part in the upper end; and a floor member (33), which closes the open part in the lower end of the hollow member (31) and is a part of the bottom of the container (21). The cooling speed of the metal material (101) by the floor member (33) is faster than the cooling speed of the metal material (101) by the hollow member (31).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2014
