DEVICE FOR PRODUCING AMORPHOUS CERAMIC PRODUCTS OR METAL ALLOYS

摘要

The device disclosed comprises a high-pressure autoclave in which a moulded blank of the sample is heated by means of laser beams to the melting point and then rapidly cooled. The sample is maintained in a processing position (2) in an autoclave (1) without contact by means of an acoustic levitation device (12). Laser beams are directed through windows (19) in the autoclave onto the processing position and heat the sample. The molten sample then passes between two mutually impacting dies (20, 21) by which it is crushed and thus rapidly cooled.
