Method, Casting Mold And Device For Producing A Vehicle Wheel
Patent No. EP3645192 (titled "Method, Casting Mold And Device For Producing A Vehicle Wheel") was filed by BUX on Sep 10, 2018. The application was issued on Dec 14, 2022.
Patent Summary
A method for producing vehicle wheels from light metal materials using a cold chamber casting process with a novel mold design. The mold features a temperature-controlled ventilation area with a labyrinthine structure to prevent molten metal escape, while maintaining optimal mold temperature zones for efficient casting. The mold design enables improved casting quality, reduced porosity, and enhanced aerodynamics, while also addressing conventional cold chamber casting system limitations such as mold deformation, gate solidification, and casting residue jamming.
