摘要 |
A composite material comprising a multilaminate structure of amorphous metal and ceramic laminae, and a method of making the same. The material may be formed of a high strength, low inhibitor content, amorphous metal, e.g., in a single ribbon form, or in a woven multi-ribbon sheet form having a substantially greater width than the single ribbon form, in which the amorphous metal is coated with a thin layer of high compressive strength, low temperature curing ceramic. Ceramic/amorphous metal composites of the invention are usefully employed in structural composite applications, in which the amorphous metal may be utilized as an electrically conductive structural component. Superconducting composites are also disclosed, which have potential utility in applications such as power transmission lines, generators, superconducting magnets, high speed operating switches, bolometers, high frequency communications components, and motors.
