... F. and Donna Mettler Professor of Engineering and Applied Science, and a pioneer in the creation of metallic glass--began tweaking the components in their composites, eventually coming up with a group ...
... them, will play a key, and hopefully decisive, role in solving the mystery of metallic glass formation."
Such materials could have a variety of applications because of their unusual physical and ...
Bulk metallic glass has no crystalline structure, and many kinds of metallic glasses are stronger than their crystalline cousins. But until now they have exhibited poor fatigue resistance -- in other ...
It is possible that broken bones will in the near future be fixed using metallic glass. Materials researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an alloy that could herald a new generation of biodegradable ...
... meta-stable materials and will allow further development of new materials such as metallic glasses.
Metals normally crystallize when they cool, unfortunately stress builds up along the boundaries ...
Scientists have created a range of structural metallic-glass composites, based in titanium, that are lighter and less expensive than any the group had previously created, while still maintaining their ...
... biomedical sensors by exploiting a novel type of metal. The material can be molded like plastics to create ... surfaces.
Unlike most metals, “amorphous metals” known as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) do ...
... Lab's Materials Sciences Division explains.
The excitement that greeted the ability to make metallic glasses in bulk has not been followed up by widespread technological use, however. These alloys ...
... of their particles. These materials (which include chocolate mousse, shaving cream, mayonnaise, metallic glasses, granular materials and mud) are amorphous solids, in other words, they are resistant ...
... under exact conditions, the alloy, which would normally be crystalline, becomes amorphous--a metallic glass--with special properties. The researchers combined data from the separate methods to gain a ...
... -aluminum alloy appeared to be off limits.
When high-pressure experiments on a sample of cerium-aluminum metallic glass began to show the properties of an alloy, the research team took notice. At 25 ...
... with commercial applications. Widom, for example, is now using the tools to study metallic glass, a solid metal with the structure of a liquid that contain desirable properties not found in commonly ...
... , Md., and from small local food service and marketing establishments. Materials that do not contain metal, glass, or plastic are trucked to the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Henry A. Wallace ...
