Abstract

Disclosed is: (i) a metal molding conduit assembly of a metal molding system, (ii) a metal molding system having a metal molding conduit assembly, (iii) a metal molding process of a metal molding system, (iv) a molded article having a body made by a metal molding process of a metal molding system, (v) a molded article having a body made by a metal molding process of a metal molding system and/or (vi) a mold of a metal molding system, amongst other things.

1 . A metal molding conduit assembly of a metal molding system, comprising: 
 a cooling structure positionable proximate of a drop of a conduit passageway, the drop connectable to a gate of a mold, the conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal, the cooling structure configured to substantially relatively reduce heat contained in the volume of molding material located proximate of the drop.    
     
     
         2 . The metal molding conduit assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cooling structure includes a cooling ring.  
     
     
         3 . A metal molding system, comprising: 
 a metal molding conduit assembly, including: 
 a cooling structure positionable proximate of a drop of a conduit passageway, the drop connectable to a gate of a mold, the conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal, the cooling structure configured to substantially relatively reduce heat contained in the volume of molding material located proximate of the drop.  
   
     
     
         4 . A metal molding process of a metal molding system, comprising: 
 positioning a cooling structure proximate of a drop of a conduit passageway, the drop connectable to a gate of a mold, the conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal, the cooling structure configured to substantially relatively reduce heat contained in the volume of molding material located proximate of the drop.    
     
     
         5 . A metal molding process of a metal molding system, comprising: 
 substantially reduce drool of molding material from a drop by actuating a cooling structure positionable proximate of a drop of a conduit passageway, the drop connectable to a gate of a mold, the conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal, the cooling structure configured to substantially relatively reduce heat contained in the volume of molding material located proximate of the drop.    
     
     
         6 . A molded article having a body made by the process of  claim 4 .  
     
     
         7 . A molded article having a body made by the process of  claim 5 .  
     
     
         8 . A molded article, comprising: 
 a body having a metal received from a metal molding conduit assembly of a metal molding system including a cooling structure positionable proximate of a drop of a conduit passageway, the drop connectable to a gate of a mold, the conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal, the cooling structure configured to substantially relatively reduce heat contained in the volume of molding material located proximate of the drop.    
     
     
         9 . For a metal molding system, a mold for forming an article from a metallic molding material, comprising: 
 a mold body configured to cooperate with a metal molding conduit assembly of a metal molding system including a cooling structure positionable proximate of a drop of a conduit passageway, the drop connectable to a gate of a mold, the conduit passageway configured to pass a volume of molten metal, the cooling structure configured to substantially relatively reduce heat contained in the volume of molding material located proximate of the drop.
