Latest Patents

Jang is associated with 1 patent: “Casting Method for Forming Screw Hole on Inclined Plane of Casting, and Casting Integrated with Insert Having Screw Thread.” The method mounts a plug unit—comprising a casting plug and a screw-thread insert—on a movable or fixed mold. After the molds are joined and molten metal is injected into the cavity, the casting is removed and the casting plug is separated from the insert. The insert is positioned within the cavity, while the mold surface holding the plug is inclined at an acute angle to the horizontal plane parallel to the movable mold’s direction of travel. This approach is designed to integrate a threaded fastening feature into an inclined casting surface.
