Method for producing semi-finished metallurgical products and shaped castings, and device for carrying out said method

The invention relates to the metallurgical and foundry industry and can be used to produce metals and alloys under gas pressure, in a vacuum, in atmospheric conditions and in a special gaseous medium. The device contains a furnace autoclave (1) and a casting autoclave (2), which are interconnected by a splitter (3), said splitter having a built-in gas-tight gate (4). The casting autoclave (2) is cut-off by a gas-tight gate (5). A pouring tube (6) is secured to a lower portion of a bottom plate (7) of a casting mould (8). In a capsule (9), in "high mode", casting of ingots (slabs, shaped castings), bimetal and three-layer ingots made of two or three alloy grades, and also conventional ingots, is carried out. The furnace autoclave (1) is designed with an induction furnace (12). A special feature of the invention is the use of a replaceable means for high-intensity cooling of a melt, which provides for a substantial increase in the output of the device.
