Furthermore, since the mold is heated before hot water is supplied, even copper molds, which absorb more heat than iron molds, can be guaranteed to flow properly during hot water supply. Although air is used to cool the mold in the embodiment, water may also be used. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the preheating temperature of the mold, the cooling start temperature and the cooling stop temperature after the mold is heated with hot water vary depending on the material, shape, weight, etc. of the cast product.
