Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2773337A1] In a case (1) is arranged a ceramic casting die (21) defining a casting zone (22), surrounded by a sand mass (23) without binder. The casting zone is connected to a metal liquid source (4) below wherein are successively applied a pressure (P1) bringing the metal to the threshold of the casting zone (22), a pressure (P2) slightly higher than what is required to fill said zone, then an outright excess pressure (P3); finally the pressure is brought back to the first value (P1). When the casting zone is filled, the space containing the sand mass (23) is depressurized to prevent deformation of the casting die (21) caused by the excess pressure (P3), at least until a metal crust is formed on the casting die, and at most until the excess pressure start to decrease in the liquid metal source (4).
