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.
