Amorphous alloy

An amorphous alloy, also known as a metallic glass, is a type of metal that lacks a regular crystalline structure, unlike typical metals. Instead of arranged atoms in a repeating pattern, its atoms are positioned randomly, giving it unique properties such as high strength, hardness, and resistance to wear and corrosion. This structure is achieved by rapidly cooling the molten metal, preventing crystals from forming. Amorphous alloys are used in various applications, including sporting equipment, electronics, and medical devices, where their strength and durability are advantageous.
