Properties of bulk metallic glasses

Аннотация

A relatively small number of revolutionary materials have been discovered in the field of physical metallurgy and metal physics in the last several decades, and bulk metallic glasses are among them. Their strength and hardness are considerably higher and their modulus of normal elasticity is considerably lower than that of crystalline alloys, which leads to large stored elastic strain energy. These materials also have very good corrosion resistance. In this article, we present the properties of bulk metallic glasses, in particular, thermal, mechanical, magnetic, and electrical properties, corrosion resistance, as well as the application fields of these alloys.
