ABSTRACT:
In a thixocasting process, a casting material is subjected to a heating treatment to prepare a semi-molten casting material having solid and liquid phases coexisting therein, and then, the semi-molten casting material is poured into a cavity under a pressure. A through-hole for applying a constricting effect to the material is provided in a flow path for the semi-molten casting material leading to the cavity in a casting mold. A material deforming pressure P.sub.1 immediately before the semi-molten casting material flows into the through-hole is used as a parameter. For example, the material deforming pressure P.sub.1 is equal to or lower than 6.7 MPa, it is determined that the material is satisfactorily filled in the cavity.
