Abstract
A predetermined amount of molten metal is supplied to a heat-insulating crucible . After that, a chill block , which is cooled to a predetermined temperature of not more than a temperature of the molten metal , is immersed and rotated in the molten metal . Accordingly, the molten metal is agitated while being cooled to give no directivity of cooling. It is possible to obtain semisolidified metal which is formed into slurry uniformly and effectively as a whole. The semisolidified metal is discharged from the heat-insulating crucible , and it is supplied to a forming machine to apply a forming treatment thereto. Accordingly, it is possible to produce the desired slurry efficiently and economically.
