Bulk Metallic Glasses - An Overview

Bulk metallic glasses are a new emerging field of materials with many desirable and unique properties, such as high strength, good hardness, good wear resistance, and high corrosion resistance that can be produced in near net shape components. These amorphous materials have many diverse applications from structural applications to biomedical implants.
A complete overview of bulk metallic glasses is presented: the principles of alloy design, glass formation, processing, atomistic modeling, computer simulations, mechanical properties and microstructures.

List of contents

Development and Applications of Late Transition Metal Bulk Metallic Glasses.- Atomistic Theory Of Metallic Liquids and Glasses.- Modeling: The Role Of Atomistic Simulations.- Evaluation Of Glass-Forming Ability.- Microstructure.- Deformation Behavior.- Fatigue And Fracture Behavior.- Corrosion Behavior.
