Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1243363A2] A method of producing a die-cast article by die-casting, the die-cast article having at least one of an inner and an outer circumferential surface, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a mold assembly (224, 226; 400, 402; 500, 502) including a hollow portion (280, 410, 510) having a molding surface (300, 420, 530) for molding one of the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the die-cast article; closing the mold assembly to define therein a mold cavity (236, 426, 540) having a configuration corresponding to that of the die-cast article; subjecting the hollow portion to an elastic deformation in a direction toward the one of the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the die-cast article to be produced; introducing a molten metal into the mold cavity while the hollow portion is subjected to the elastic deformation; opening the mold assembly and permitting the elastic deformation to be removed from the hollow portion after the molten metal has solidified; and removing the die-cast article from the mold assembly. An apparatus for practicing the method is also disclosed. <IMAGE>
