Abstract
An injection method and apparatus for melted metals are provided to transfer the metals, to melt them by external heat, and to meter and degas the metals by employing a reservoir to reserve metals in liquid phase. The injection apparatus includes a heating cylinder having a fore end portion which communicates with a nozzle member and of which internal diameter is made smaller to serve as a metering chamber, and an injection screw installed within the heating cylinder to be movable and rotational. A reservoir for reserving melted metals in liquid phase has an axis provided between the plunger and a feeding portion containing a screw flight around the axis. A projected portion for limiting the feeding of granular metals flowing to the reservoir and for preventing the metals in liquid phase from flowing backward during injection is provided on a boundary between the feeding portion and the reservoir.
