Abstract
In a process of withdrawing castings while vertically oscillating a mold formed with long side walls and short side walls, the long side walls are moved apart from the castings by operating a hydraulic cylinder in the time zones for which the castings are applied with a large frictional force. On the contrary, the separated long side walls are made to move together to the casting in the other time zones for which the casting is not applied with the large frictional force. By repeating the separation and approaching of the long side walls, it is possible to obtain castings which are reduced in the depths of oscillation marks and suppressed in segregations at oscillation mark trough portions.
