A casting method includes loading molten metal into a cavity from a sleeve, and sending a gas into the cavity from the outside of the cavity, except the sleeve, to pressurize a gas in the cavity and to increase the pressure value of the gas in the cavity to the atmospheric pressure or higher.

Casting method

A casting device includes a mold having a cavity, a supply path that is connected to a gate of the cavity and configured to supply a molten metal to the supply path, and a gas flow path that is connected to the supply path and configured to supply a gas to the supply path. In the casting device, a molten metal is atomized by causing the gas supplied from the gas flow path to collide with the molten metal passing through the supply path, and the atomized molten metal is supplied to the cavity.
