Springer - Bulk Metallic Glasses: An Overview - Science Book

Bulk Metallic Glasses: An Overview by Springer provides a comprehensive look at an emerging field of materials science. As the first new book in many years dedicated to this subject, it explores the unique properties that make bulk metallic glasses a significant area of study. These amorphous materials offer high strength, good hardness, and excellent resistance to both wear and corrosion. This text covers the essential principles required to understand these materials, from alloy design and glass formation to processing techniques. It also addresses modern computational approaches, including atomistic modeling and computer simulation. Because these materials can be produced in near net shape components, they hold immense potential for various industries. Readers will find detailed information regarding applications ranging from structural components to biomedical implants. This book serves as a complete resource for those studying the development and implementation of these advanced materials.
