Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for rust-proofing a mold, which is capable of reducing the time and the cost required for rust-proofing the mold. The method includes an iron hydroxide-forming step for forming iron hydroxide on a predetermined part of the surface of the mold, and a surface-treating step for forming a film covering the molding surface of the mold, and for changing the iron hydroxide formed on the mold into black rust, by heating the mold, under an oxygen-deficiency atmosphere, on which the iron hydroxide is formed in the iron hydroxide-forming step.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for rust-proofing a mold having a molding surface and at least one cooling channel through which cooling water flows, the cooling channel being bored from a surface other than the molding surface of the mold toward an inside of the mold, comprising: an iron hydroxide-forming step for forming iron hydroxide on a whole surface of the at least one cooling channel; and a surface-treating step for forming a film covering the molding surface of the mold and for changing the iron hydroxide formed on the whole surface of the at least one cooling channel into black rust, by heating the mold on which the iron hydroxide is formed in the iron hydroxide-forming step under an oxygen-deficiency atmosphere containing an inert gas and a reactive gas for forming the film. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the iron hydroxide-forming step, a black-rust accelerant containing water and a material with reducibility is applied to the whole surface of the at least one cooling channel. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the iron hydroxide-forming step is a step for performing a water-flow test of the cooling channel. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film covering the molding surface of the mold is a carbon film. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein in the surface-treating step, the inert gas is supplied from a side on which the molding surface of the mold is situated.
