How Do We Make Amorphous Metals in 2020? Amorphous metals have brought new development opportunities for materials science and manufacturing, especially in the field of energy conversion. Traditional crystalline alloys need to be processed in multiple steps to obtain better properties, such as quenching and electroplating. Amorphous metals can be formed in one step through a single-step solution, such as rapid cooling during processing. Therefore, it exhibits magical physical properties that any crystalline metal cannot reach, such as high permeability and low magnetic loss . Amorphous metals and common alloys Metal alloys have the characteristic of sharing crystal structure, which is a double-edged sword in terms of machining and physical properties. Amorphous metal (bulk metallic glass) provides an alternative in terms of materials due to the random arrangement of atoms. Crystalline metals and amorphous metals are similar when heated to a molten state at...
