20130240168 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A CAST WHEEL AND CASTING MOULD - Process and casting mould for producing a cast wheel. A core, which remains in the cast wheel and has a circumferential rim, is inserted into a casting mould having at least one lower mould part and an upper mould part moved relative to one another to close casting mould. Core is positioned by at least one positioning element in a predetermined position in casting mould, so that an end region of positioning element is fixed with a force fit or frictional fit in circumferential rim of the core. A free end region of positioning element, which protrudes from circumferential rim of the core, is placed on a contact surface, which is preferably arranged substantially horizontally during operation, of lower mould part during positioning of core in casting mould. Core is positioned in the predetermined position under the action of the force of gravity. | 09-19-2013 |
