A method for performing thixoforming and thixoforming - device for carrying out the method

摘要

A method for performing thixoforming,in the basic state in which a solid body made from a material possessing thixotropic properties by means of a heating device on thixotropy - temperature is heated and the body in this thixotropy - state to a casting apparatus which is designed as a shaping unit with a casting chamber and is supplied with the help of a casting plunger, in which the thixotropic body, leads to a defined shape of the piece is compressed, wherein the body before reaching the thixotropy - state is converted into a support chamber, in which the body after reaching the thixotropy - state is form-lockingly received,characterized by the,that the support chamber (8; 21; 39), together with, in a thixotropy - condition form-lockingly received, thixotropic body (3) in such a way into the casting chamber (24; 34) of the casting device (20; 33) is introduced, that the thixotropic body (3) there by means of the casting plunger (35) from the support chamber (8; 21; 39) and into the contour of the subsequent workpiece determining mold cavity (30; 44) of a casting mold (29; 36) is pressed.
