Abstract
The effect that metallic molten masses can flow into deep and narrow gaps by capillary action forms the basis of the mould filling mechanism of the micro casting process presented here. Potential applications of "Capillary Action Microcasting" are the minimal invasive surgery (e.g. micromechanical endoscope items, grippers and cutting tools), magnetic actuators and the micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technique (e.g. magnetic cores for micromechanical drive components and sensors) as well as the technology of mechanisms design. Castings of a eutectic silver-copper alloy prove that both a definition and a guaranteed withdrawal of the cast part are achieved. The procedure is suitable and promising for the production of magnetic components, e.g. Fe47Sb53 for micro-electric motors.
