Bulk amorphous alloys possess a metastable structure, which is difficult to process and manufacture into components or parts by conventional forging or welding. Instead, components or parts from bulk amorphous alloys can be fabricated by vacuum casting with the fluidity of bulk amorphous-alloy melts. Based on the casting forming of bulk amorphous alloys, this paper briefly introduces the fluidity and filling ability of bulk amorphous-alloy melts. In addition, the technical methods and applications of vacuum die casting, vacuum suction casting, gravity casting in a water-cooled copper crucible, and phase-change refrigeration casting are also mentioned. The theoretical problems and technical bottlenecks to be resolved in the forming process of bulk amorphous alloys are then discussed. Finally, the engineering application prospects of bulk amorphous alloys are suggested.
