 INTRODUCTION

• With the advent of material science and so many new engineering

material are discovered having major application in industries.

• This are classified as metals and alloys, ceramics, glasses, glass

ceramics, composites and semiconductor.

• Our presentation is on one of such material which is METALLIC GLASS.

 METALLIC GLASSES

• The material which has the properties of both metals and glasses is
known as metallic glass or metglass.

METALLIC GLASS = AMORPHOUS METAL

• Metallic glasses are metal alloy and are a special case of amorphous
which shows the glass transition.

• They have high strength, good magnetic properties and better

corrosion resistance.
 PREPARATION
Principle:
Extreme rapid cooling of molten metal alloy called ‘quenching’ .
Cooling so rapidly that there is no formation of crystalline
structure forming solid frozen in liquid structure.
During the process of solidification, atoms do not have enough
time or energy to rearrange for crystal nucleation. Thus, reaching the
glass transition temperature Tg solidifies as metallic glass. Again, upon
heating metallic glasses shows a reversible glass-liquid transition at Tg .

 GLASS TRANSITION TEMPERATURE(TG):

• Metallic glass is prepared by cooling a metallic liquid having

disordered structure.
[ RATE OF COOLING IS 2 X 106 K/S]

• The temperature at which the transition from liquid to solid occurs

is known as glass transition temperature(Tg).
 TECNIQUES OF PREPARATION

Various rapid cooling techniques such as spraying,

spinning and laser deposition are used for the
production of metallic glasses.
