Abstract

A mold for casting primarily of SMC420, wherein a cavity forming portion comprising maraging steel, which has the toughness and the resistance to heat shock superior to those of SMC420, is provided in a vertical wall heading for a cavity surface from a molten metal inlet and a portion nearest to the molten metal inlet in the cavity surface, which are portions suffering relatively large heat shock in the contact with a molten metal. Also provided is a method for providing the cavity forming portion, which comprises filling a concave portion of the mold with a molten metal prepared by melting a welding rod by arc welding, in other words, carrying out an overlaying welding, and then cooling and solidifying the molten metal.
