Casting method for casting a part onto a hollow section

U.S. Patent Number: 5381849

Abstract: A method for casting a cast part onto the end of a hollow section places the end of the hollow section in a defined position in a die which is then closed. The end opening in the hollow section is closed in a sealed manner against the penetration of cast material, at least during casting, the molten cast material is introduced into the remaining free space in the die and the hollow section is thereby cast around in a positive-locking manner, at least at the end. To improve the fixing of the hollow sections within the cast part, the hollow section is cooled during the casting of the cast part.
