I recently saw a reference to BMG molds being made from copper or copper alloy. This was surprising since I was expecting it to be something like tool steel. I looked up the melting point of pure copper and it’s a lightly higher than 1900 degrees Fahrenheit ....Liquidmetal alloys are processed at something like 900 degrees so it sounds plausible. Copper is also an excellent conductor of heat, so it facilitates the rapid heating/cooling to decrease cycle time. Copper is much easier to fabricate than tool steel.

This is the first time, I’ve seen copper mentioned....has anyone else seen this?
