Abstract:

Over the past decades, considerable efforts have been made in the commercial application of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Despite great challenges faced by the industrial players, significant progress has been achieved, and millions of commercial products for various kinds of applications have been shipped around the world. Here in this paper, we shall present the alloys suitable for the actual products in the application and discuss the merits of the processing technique of BMGs over the existing processing techniques and materials. Most importantly we demonstrate the typical examples of products over the past few years. Finally, future directions of the industrialization of BMGs are also discussed.
