Amorphous metals are a new class of materials in which advantageous physical properties can be achieved. Amorphous metals require rapid cooling in the injection-molding process, which is not achieved in the case of a large number of geometries. The invention relates to a method for adapting a component description of a workpiece to be produced with amorphous properties, which method comprises: —defining a cooling behaviour of at least a part of a workpiece to be produced, taking account of a component description of the workpiece; —adapting at least a part of the component description, taking account of the defined cooling behaviour of the workpiece.

An injection device and method for producing at least one metallic glass part, in which a vertical piston is able to move in a vertical direction, a top end portion of the piston being suitable for being engaged in an injection chamber of a mould linked to a cavity of this mould and open at the bottom; the piston having a top end face on which an element made from metallic glass to be introduced into said chamber can be positioned, the top face of the piston having a concave shape suitable for receiving a bottom portion of the element made from metallic glass. A heating means situated under the mould comprises induction coils, such that, when the piston is in an intermediate position, the majority of the metallic element is situated in the space surrounded by the induction coils.

A feed device for a metal melt in an injection molding device of, for example, a metal-molding machine has a reservoir for the metal melt and a feed duct, in which the metal melt can be fed to a mold cavity. The feed duct includes a cylinder bore, in which a piston is arranged axially displaceably. A collection chamber for the metal melt, from which the metal melt can be introduced into the mold cavity through a continuing line as a consequence of an axial displacement of the piston, is provided in the cylinder bore. The cylinder bore is surrounded by a first heater, which has at least one heating element.

The second mold module includes a second mold structure. The pipe module includes a first pipe body connected between the first mold structure and the second mold structure and embedded inside the container casing member, and a second pipe body connected to the second mold structure.

Hot-chamber die casting systems for casting aluminum, copper, titanium, and their alloys, as well as other high temperature and/or reactive metals. The hot-chamber die casting system comprises an injection system that includes a cylinder, a plunger reciprocable within the cylinder, and a gooseneck that defines a passage fluidically connected to a cylinder chamber within the cylinder, wherein surfaces of the cylinder, plunger, and gooseneck that contact a molten metal during injection casting are defined by a refractory material that does not react with the molten metal, or have been treated to reduce the rate of dissolution of their surface material into the molten metal during injection casting.
