SPRINGERBRIEFS IN MATERIALS METALLIC AMORPHOU...

This book presents cutting-edge research on the design and development of novel  advanced
high-strength  light-weight materials via the incorporation of novel reinforcements  namely 
metallic amorphous alloys bulk metallic glasses (BMG)  in light metal matrix composites (LMMCs)
based on Al and Mg. The book begins with an introduction to conventional ceramic reinforced
light metal matrix composites  along with the major drawbacks which limit their application.
Metallic amorphous alloys Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMG) are new class of metallic materials that
are distinctly differently from conventional metals alloys in terms of their structure and
thermal behavior  and exhibit extremely high strength (1 to 2 GPa) and large elastic strain
limit (1 to 2%). Given these unique properties  upon their incorporation into Al Mg-matrices 
they provide superior interfacial properties  i.e. high degree of compatibility with the matrix
due to their metallic nature when compared to conventional ceramic reinforcements  and thereby
significantly enhance the mechanical performance of LMMCs. Amorphous BMG reinforced LMMCs is an
emerging research field and the existing literature is meager. This book discusses the various
processing methods that would be suitable for these novel materials. A comparison of mechanical
properties and strengthening mechanisms of amorphous BMG reinforced composites with those of
conventional ceramic composites is presented. Future research directions and wider research
potential of the novel materials are discussed  and prospective applications are highlighted.
For ease of understanding and comparison  appropriate schematics  tables  and figures are
provided.
