Abstract
A squeeze casting press has a movable top die part (11) and movable side die parts (13). When these parts are in a die-forming position, the side die parts (13) are locked against movement by respective locking wedges (25) to prevent these die parts separating under the squeeze casting pressure. The provision of movable die side parts allows easy access to the cast article (which may be a piston for an engine or a compressor). It also allows easy location in the die of reinforcements or inserts to be cast into the article.
