Strong, Tough and Now Cheap: New Way to Process Metallic Glass Developed

QuoteScienceDaily (May 13, 2011) — Stronger than steel or titanium -- and just as tough -- metallic glass is an ideal material for everything from cell-phone cases to aircraft parts. Now, researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a new technique that allows them to make metallic-glass parts utilizing the same inexpensive processes used to produce plastic parts. With this new method, they can heat a piece of metallic glass at a rate of a million degrees per second and then mold it into any shape in just a few milliseconds.

"We've redefined how you process metals," says William Johnson, the Ruben F. and Donna Mettler Professor of Engineering and Applied Science. "This is a paradigm shift in metallurgy." Johnson leads a team of researchers who are publishing their findings in the May 13 issue of the journal Science...

'Rapid Discharge Forming' will become a key material forming process by the look of it.

The Star Trek prophesies are coming true!  Transparent aluminum has also been created!  Thanks be to Scottie!  http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/transparent-aluminum-created/

One day, you never know!

Shame this isn't transparent yet and limited to very small components for the time being, but once engineers get a new toy they're off!!!

So what proportion of people see this thread and think transparent aluminium?
Ah anyway, LLAP to all of ya's.

It's the first thing I thought of, which is why I created the thread as I thought others would like it for the same reason.
