Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0293960A1] A process and apparatus are described for the production of cast components having reduced porosity levels. The process comprises the steps of at least partially melting a metal charge, pouring the melted metal into a mould (14) which is in a first chamber (11), withdrawing the filled mould (14) into a second chamber (30), isolating the second chamber (30) from the first chamber (10) with regard to pressure and then pressurising the second chamber with a fluid up to a maximum pressure of 7 MPa for at least part of the time required for solidification of the metal in the mould. The pressure is preferably applied within 40 seconds from the finish of pouring of the molten metal and more preferably within 20 seconds.
