Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), exploring its properties, applications, and current research efforts. Participants share insights on the material's characteristics and challenges, particularly regarding its ductility.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), seeking information on the topic.
  • Another participant references an article by Howard Sheng in Nature and mentions ongoing research by Bill Johnson's group at Caltech, specifically on foams related to BMG.
  • A participant describes BMGs as metallic alloys with glass-like properties and notes that researchers are attempting to improve their ductility due to their fragility.
  • There is a casual exchange about participants' academic backgrounds, with one participant stating their major is mechatronics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not appear to have a consensus, as participants are sharing different aspects of BMG without resolving any specific questions or disagreements.

Contextual Notes

Some claims about the properties of BMGs and ongoing research efforts may depend on specific definitions and assumptions that are not fully explored in the discussion.

Who May Find This Useful

Have you read Howard Sheng's Jan. 26 article in Nature?

Bill Johnson's group at California Institute of Technology is working on foams.

Johnson WL, "Bulk Amorphous Metal - An Emerging Engineering Material" Journal of Metals-J MIN MET MAT S 54 (3): 40-43 MAR 2002
 


BMGs: bulk metallic glasses are metallic alloys that have glasses proprieties, researchers are trying now to ameliorate their ductility because they are fragile like glasses.
 


thanx for your reply. by the way what are ur majors?
 


mechatronics
