| Abstract | A metallic glass is a solid consisting of metallic atoms arranged in a random manner with no obvious long-range correlation in the atomic positions. While such random atomic arrangements are easy to achieve in materials with covalent bonding, until 1960 the solid state of all known metals and metallic alloys consisted of regular, periodic arrangements of the atoms. The first metallic glass was produced in 1960 by Duwez and co-workers [1] by rapidly cooling a molten alloy of gold and silicon. Metallic glasses have since then been created in large numbers of simple metal, transition metal, and metalloid systems by a variety of ingenious methods. “Splatcooling” techniques have been developed to achieve cooling rates of over a million degrees per second and have created a completely new metallurgical technology. The new metallic materials so produced have proved to be of considerable technological importance for their unique magnetic, mechanical, and corrosion-resistance properties [2]. |
