A liquid-jet-guided laser system can be used to generate functional slots having different depth and sidewall profiles by applying active control of laser beam parameters. Blinds slots can be processed onto a workpiece, such as a tire mold or a turbine vane, for an insertion of a sipe or a sealing element, respectively. Through slots can also be processed onto a workpiece, such as a turbine element for cooling during operation or a semiconductor wafer for singulation purpose. The processing of the workpiece can include a two-step procedure, wherein the first step comprises a pre-cut. The pre-cut cuts a contour outline of a slot onto a workpiece corresponding to an element that is to be inserted into the slot. The second step comprises a removal cut to remove excess workpiece material in between the contour outline. The liquid-jet-guided laser system can employ multiple-wavelength processing of a multiple-material workpiece. |

A faucet spout or other component has a metal housing with a plastic liner in an opening in the housing. The faucet component is made by first molding a plastic insert having an elongated body and an opening extending through the elongated body from a first end to a second end. The plastic insert is secured inside of a metal mold. The metal mold is heated (or cooled) to a temperature below the melting temperature of the molded plastic and molten metal is poured in the mold. The molded melting temperature of the plastic is high enough and the metal mold temperature is low enough so that the insert does not melt during the metal molding process. |

A tire mold or a tire mold segment can include an air compression cavity, which connects to multiple surface connection slots having dimensions between 10 and 300 microns, which can be suitable for selective removal of air in the mold. The air compression cavity, can be close to the outside ambient, allowing the air escaping the interior of the mold to be compressed, which can assist in preventing the rubber material from leaving the mold pattern surface. |

A vent hole of a mold for molding a tire is formed by suppressing bending deformation of a wire in a casting mold. By using a relational expression among a length of a wire in a casting space, a diameter of the wire, a contact angle of the wire with respect to a molten metal, and a bent amount of the wire by casting acquired by experiments, the contact angle of the wire at which the bent amount of the wire is within an allowable range is calculated from conditions of an actual length and the diameter of the wire. On the basis of the calculated contact angle of the wire, the wire is disposed in the casting space. By pouring the molten metal into the casting space, a cast metal with the wire cast-in in the casting space is cast. A vent hole is formed by withdrawing the wire. |

A method produces a cast component of an internal combustion engine with a cast-in pipe. Expendable molds and a permanent pattern, or permanent molds are used in the method. A solid core mold is mounted in a split outer mold. To solve the problem of the pipe changing its position during the casting of the component, a separate pipe holder is integrated into the outer mold or the core mold. The pipe is inserted into a retaining section of the pipe holder that is configured in such a manner that it locally surrounds the outer circumference of the pipe at least in part and with little play so that the pipe can expand in the axial direction during casting but is secured against displacements in radial directions caused by buoyancy forces of the liquid casting material. Subsequently the component is cast. |
