Abstract

See full text

Described herein is an injection molding or die casting machine having an ultrasonic vibration generator associated therewith that is configured to apply ultrasonic vibrations during melting and/or injection of the molten material (e.g., molten alloy). The ultrasonic vibrations may be applied to molten material via the plunger tip of the plunger in the machine, and/or the mold and/or the vessel, for example. The ultrasonic vibration may be applied during plunger tip movement so that the molten material vibrates ultrasonically during melting and injection. A connector may be connected to the ultrasonic vibration generator and the plunger. Channels may be provided in the plunger tip and/or vessel to accommodate a cooling fluid during melting and injection.
