A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FABRICATING BULK METALLIC GLASS SHEETS

摘要

This invention describes a method and hardware of how to deform metallic glasses under low force and stabilized conditions to fabricate thin and large area metallic glass sheets. It is based on a combination of thermoplastic rolling and stretching and typically combined with a pre-heating method. The predominant mode of deformation is dependent on the BMG conditions such as thickness, viscosity, and crystallization time.
