Abstract

Dispositif et procédé de moulage par injection pour coulée à cire perdue. La pression d'injection permettant d'injecter une matière thermiquement fusible dans un moule élastique au moyen d'une machine de moulage par injection, est fixée à une première valeur au début de l'injection ; et à une deuxième valeur, supérieure à la première, un temps spécifié après le début de l'injection. Ce procédé permet d'éviter, pendant la coulée à cire perdue de produits ornementaux, tout retrait ainsi que la formation de barbes et de cavitation ; de supprimer le retrait des produits formés ; et d'obtenir une qualité supérieure de cire de formes spécifiées.
