Also known as metallic glass, it refers to a metallic materials that has a short-range order on the atomic scale, but does not have a long-range order structure. The alloy composed of metal and some nonmetals (B, C, Si, P) can be directly and rapidly cooled from its liquid state (for example, the cooling rate is greater than 10 ^ 6 ℃/s) to obtain amorphous metal. Another kind of amorphous metal is alloy composed of metal elements. amorphous metal have excellent mechanical, physical and chemical properties.
