- Another method of heating the mold surface is alternating or staged or pulsed between upper and lower molds or external and internal molds.
- the present invention provides a method for momentarily heating a surface of a mold, comprising the steps of: opening upper and lower molds and first and second cores of the mold, and supplying gaseous fuel; injecting and igniting the gaseous fuel from the upper and lower molds after allowing the upper and lower molds to come close to each other at a predetermined distance; heating the core for a predetermined time period; filling a forming space between the upper and lower molds with molten material through the upper mold, immediately after stopping heating, closing the upper and lower molds and the core and allowing the molded product to cool for a predetemiined time period; cooling the core and a molded product for a predetermined time period by spraying cooling water on the core and the molded product after allowing the upper and lower molds to be opened away from the core at predetermined distances; and ejecting the molded product from the upper and lower molds after allowing the upper and lower molds and the core to be completely opened.
- the molded product may be cooled directly or indirectly in the mold by cooling channels in the mold, condensing of a vapor, water spray, or other suitable means of removing heat quickly.
- the present invention provides a system for momentarily heating the surface of a mold, comprising: a casting material feeder for supplying molten casting material; upper and lower molds for fomiing a predetermined shaped cast; first and second cores disposed between the upper and lower molds; a water-cooled system for cooling a heated mold by injecting cooling water to the heated mold; an injection molding control for controlling the upper and lower molds; an air and gaseous fuel mixture and supply unit for supplying compressed air and gaseous fuel simultaneously; a gaseous fuel mixture and supply control for controlling the operation of the air and gaseous fuel mixture and supply unit; an interface for interfacing the injection molding control and the gaseous fuel mixture and supply control; and a control panel for visually displaying the control, condition and operation of the components of the system.
