Forming device and forming method thereof
Abstract
A forming device includes a feeding component, an injection module, and a die-casting module. The feeding component has an internal space suitable for allowing a molten metal fluid to flow. The injection module is disposed on the feeding component and communicated with the internal space. The die-casting module has a mold cavity and a flow channel. The flow channel is aligned with the mold cavity and communicated with the internal space of the feeding component. The molten metal fluid flows to the die-casting module along the internal space, the injection module outputs a supercritical fluid into the internal space to mix with the molten metal fluid, and the feeding component pushes the molten metal fluid to pass through the flow channel and enter the mold cavity.
