Optimized multi-stage inductive melting of amorphous alloys |
摘要 |
Described herein is a method of melting a bulk metallic glass (BMG) feedstock, comprising: heating at least a portion of the BMG feedstock to temperatures slightly below a solidus temperature of the BMG, wherein the portion remains a solid at the temperatures slightly below the solidus temperature and wherein a temperature distribution of the portion is essentially uniform; heating the portion of the BMG feedstock to temperatures above a liquidus point. |

1. A method of melting a bulk metallic glass (BMG) feedstock, comprising:
heating at least one portion of the BMG feedstock to temperatures slightly below a solidus temperature of the BMG, wherein said at least one portion remains a solid at the temperatures slightly below the solidus temperature and wherein a temperature distribution of said at least one portion is essentially uniform; heating said at least one portion of the BMG feedstock to temperatures above a liquidus temperature; wherein said at least one portion is an entire region of the BMG feedstock that is inductively heated. |
