This paper documents the investigation into injection molding, or die casting, a bulk metallic glass (BMG). A BMG is an amorphous metal of a thickness greater than 25 μm, according to leading researchers in the field. This critical thickness differentiates a normal metallic glass from a "bulk" metallic glass. The...
