Here is the Engle Machine cut sheet:

"we have developed an innovative machine solution for this sensitive process based on our all-electric ENGEL e-motion: Liquidmetal® alloy ingots are first melted in a 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."

I stand corrected 1) the injection process is not with a special gas but rather within a vacuum 2) they claim cycle times of 3 -5 minutes which is far less than my earlier 60 minute estimate.

I stand by my earlier comments about this machine behaving differently as it heats up and would like to emphasize Engle's words "this sensitive process".
