Patent ID: 8002014

Claim:
Method for producing metal-containing castings, comprising introducing a metal-containing melt comprising amorphous metal from an induction furnace into an electrically conducting copper casting mold while flowing a preset current through a boundary interface between the metal-containing melt and the casting mold, with the metal-containing melt and the casting mold being connected in an electrically conducting manner to outputs of a same voltage source during the introduction into the casting mold, a voltage of 0.5 V to 42 V is collected at a voltage source, and the introducing a metal-containing melt comprises melting the metal-containing melt in the induction furnace and introducing the melt in a closed system with superatmospheric pressure of an inert gas atmosphere into the casting mold arranged thereunder, and after application of a voltage between an electrode protruding into the melt and the casting mold, an outflow opening in the induction furnace is opened and the melt is transferred into the casting mold by applying the superatmospheric pressure, so that a preset current flows through the boundary layer between the melt and the casting mold.
