A Fundamental Approach to Developing Aluminium-based Bulk Amorphous Alloys based on Stable Liquid-Metal Structures and Electronic Equilibrium - 154041
Abstract
The objective of this research is to apply a novel topological and electronic-based model to accurately predict compositions of new amorphous alloys specifically based on aluminum with properties far superior to commercial crystalline metals and existing amorphous alloys. Expected outcomes from this research include successful production of a range of light-weight, corrosion resistant aluminum-based amorphous alloys with high glass-forming ability superior to current state-of-the-art crystalline and amorphous alloys. Such alloys would be considered a breakthrough in the field of metallic glass research and a significant advancement in advanced materials development for high-performance materials applications.
