PURPOSE: To enhance the yield of material and to reduce cost by erecting casting molds in vacuum, feeding a molten metal into the molds from the bottoms through a runner and obtaining a shape and dimensions close to those of an end product.
CONSTITUTION: A molten high purity metal or alloy 2 obtd. by melting and refining in a vacuum melting furnace is housed in a vessel 1, fed into cylindrical casting molds 4 in vacuum and cast to produce stock for vapor deposition or stock of a target for sputtering. At this time, the molds 4 are erected in vacuum, the molten metal or alloy 2 is fed into the molds 4 from the bottoms through a runner 3 and a shape and dimensions close to those of an end product are obtd. The molds 4 are tapered in the longitudinal direction and caps 5 are fixed on the tops of the molds 4. Stock almost free from internal defects can be obtd.
