Abstract:Continuous casting method for massive production of steel, aluminum, copper or other crystalline alloy ingot is a very important industrial technology for its low energy consumption and high productivity. In this study, a new continuous casting method was developed for the massive production of bulk metallic glass ingot with centimeter-scale diameter without length limitation. An intermittent withdrawal procedure was practiced for continuous casting of bulk glassy alloy. The new developed continuous casting method can provide a cooling speed as high as that provided by the stationary mold casting method. A Zr-based glassy alloy rod with a diameter of about 10 mm and length of tens of centimeters was prepared by the continuous casting method for the first time. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
