Amorphous metal injection molding for series production

Heraeus is now able to injection mold amorphous metals at best in class cycle times. The AMLOY (amloy.com) materials are available on Zr-basis as well as Cu-basis and combine properties which were incompatible, like high strength and hardness combined with excellent ductility. Together with our machine partner ENGEL, expert for injection molding machines (engel.at), we have developed an innovative machine solution. The pre-material (ingots) are first melted under vacuum by means of induction heating and then injected into a cooled mould. The results: extremely precise metal parts with a perfect, rework-free surface – a real net-shape solution. Heraeus is a globally active precious metal and technology Group based in Hanau, near Frankfurt, and with deep roots in Germany. The company has been family-owned for more than 160 years. Our business groups cover precious metals, materials and technologies, sensors, biomaterials, medical, dental, and pharmaceutical products, quartz glass, and specialty light sources.
