Amorphous Metals

Porous and Foamed Amorphous Metals

This article reviews the state of the art in the field of porous amorphous metals by describing current processing techniques, mechanical properties, and potential applications. In addition to the reduction in density, the main benefit of introducing porosity in amorphous metals is the improvement in compressive ductility and energy absorption. This ductilizing effect is explained by: (1) shear...

Side-jump effect in paramagnetic amorphous metals.

A systematic study of the resistivity (p), the Hall coefficients (R~), and the magnetic susceptibilities (y) of the Zr-based paramagnetic amorphous alloys suggests a self-consistent explanation for the frequently observed positive values of RH that is based on the side-jump effect. Measurements for g, RH, and p of (Zr064CuQ 36)& Al and g for (Zr05oNi050)& „Al alloys are presented. The odd behav...
