Suction Casting Assembly for the Preparation of Bulk Metallic Glass

Manufacture of suction casting assembly for production of alloys

In production of bulky glassy/ amorphous alloys.

• The developed suction casting assembly (SCA) is capable of producing BMG.This SCA can be retrofitted to any commercially available arc melting furnace.
• Major components of SCA are melting pot, copper-stainless steel sandwich (CSSS), Cu-mould and mould chamber.
• Melting pot of the SCA is designed and positioned in the CSSS in order to enhance the heat transfer from the melting pot to the CSSS and to minimize the heat transfer from melting pot to the casting mould.
• Inclination of the melting pot, orifice of the melting pot, alignment of the Cu-mould and positioning of melt flow stopper ensures successful BMG castings.
• This SCA allows fast, easy and hassle-free melt flow during suction casting to produce laboratory scale BMG.
