Abstract
Metallic glasses have exceptional strengh, corrosion resistance and ease of magnetization as a result of their novel internal structures. Combined with low manufacturing costs, these properties make these materials attractive for many applications. Metallic glasses also have scientific fascination because their compositions, structures, and properties have unexpected features.
