Abstract:
The present work reviews the different techniques that are currently being used in synthesis of metallic glasses viz. solid state, liquid state and vapor state processes. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique is discussed in detail and the various processes are compared to each other to determine the most economically and technologically feasible technique to be used according to desired product characteristics. Finally a section of the paper is devoted to a discussion of the manufacturing techniques being used for producing bulk metallic glassesMetallic glasses are a novel class of materials having extraordinary strength,toughness and elasticity.
