Patent ID: 7594310

Claim:
A production device for producing a circular-shaped mechanical part made of a metal alloy capable of undergoing at least one thermal hardening treatment, said device comprising a rotating hollow mold ( 11 , 41 ) positioned to receive a predetermined volume of the metal alloy, induction heating components to bring at least part of the metal alloy to a melting temperature (T 1 ) and drive mechanisms to cause the hollow mold to rotate and produce a blank ( 26 ) of the mechanical part through centrifugation, a means for determining the predetermined volume of the metal alloy to be melted from a metal alloy bar ( 20 ), wherein the metal alloy bar is fed by a feed device to a position in the induction heating components such that at least the means for determining the predetermined volume of the metal alloy is brought to the melting temperature (T 1 ) therein, and the predetermined volume falls into the hollow mold; a means ( 30 ) for cooling the blank ( 26 ) which was obtained through centrifugation of the molten alloy metal in the hollow mold and for bringing the predetermined volume of the metal alloy to a temperature second (T 2 ), lower than the melting temperature (T 1 ), at which the blank ( 26 ) has a malleable consistency; a machining mechanism to form an interior shape of the mechanical part ( 28 ); a temperature regulation device to bring the mechanical part ( 28 ) obtained from this blank to a tempering temperature (T 3 ); and a means for tempering the mechanical part ( 28 ) after the mechanical part ( 28 ) is extracted from the hollow mold.
