[0002] In the traditional differential pressure casting production process, the gooseneck steering knuckle has the risk of air entrapment caused by the pouring of molten aluminum due to structural reasons. Air holes are easily generated inside the gooseneck area of the steering knuckle, and it is usually necessary to set exhaust inserts at the corresponding positions. Traditional inserts are mostly solid structures. Since the inserts and the mold body are assembled, the temperature is usually lower than the mold body. It is impossible to increase the mold temperature at local positions to enhance the exhaust effect while ensuring exhaust. As a result, the exhaust effect at the insert position is poor, the internal quality of the casting is unstable during the production process, and air holes are easily generated, affecting the casting yield.
