AMS – AMS – Amorphous Metal Solutions

About us

The team behind AMS

In recent years, the team around AMS has developed a process chain that is ideally adapted to the needs of amorphous metals and enables the production of high quantities.

This process chain covers all metallurgical process steps – from the raw elements to the finished part – and we work according to the highest quality standards in order to meet the customers’ expectations. At the same time, the small number of process steps makes it possible to work cost and resource efficient.

AMS is a spin-off of the Chair of Metallic Materials at Saarland University of Prof. Ralf Busch. The team was funded by the “EXIST Forschungstansfer” till June 2021. This funding program supports young scientists in the transfer of top-class research results into the industry.
