    The document discusses bulk metallic glasses (BMG's), which are alloys that can form fully amorphous castings through conventional casting methods using cooling rates of only 1-100 K/s. One Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu-Be BMG has a tensile strength of 2 GPa, fracture toughness of ~20 MPa-m1/2, and density of 6.1 g/cm3, giving it a higher strength to weight ratio than steels and superalloys. This BMG can elastically store large amounts of energy, making it suitable for use as a golf club head in its first commercial application as a spring.
