Abstract

See full text

An automated rapid capacitive discharge apparatus is provided for sequentially or simultaneously rapidly heating and shaping a plurality of metallic glass feedstock samples. The apparatus includes a sample feeder defining a body for holding a plurality of samples and being capable of sequentially positioning at least one feedstock sample into a discharge position within the processing compartment. In the processing compartment the sample is heated by a discharge of a quantum of electrical energy supplied via electrodes, then shaped into a desired shape by means of a shaping tool, and subsequently moved out of the discharge position as a second feedstock moves into a discharge position.
