Claims
- 1. A method for producing a glassy metal by suction casting comprising the steps of:
- filling a metal material in a mold cooled with water;
- melting said metal material by using a high-energy heat source which is capable of melting said metal material;
- and introducing the resulting molten metal instantaneously into a vertically extending water-cooled mold provided below said mold by using a pressure difference caused by lowering a vertically slidable piston within said vertically extending mold on which the metal melt rests to draw the metal melt into said vertically extended mold at a speed of at least 50 mm/sec and attain a high quenching rate to thereby enable the production of a glassy metal ingot of a large size.
- 2. A method for producing a glassy metal by suction casting according to claim 1 wherein said glassy metal formed in the vertically extending water-cooled casting mold is in the form of one of a cylindrical rod, a plate, a pipe, a rectangular rod, a rectangular pipe, a profile rod, and a profile pipe.
