Explore the fascinating world of amorphous metals and metallic glasses in this 15-minute educational video. Discover how certain alloys, when rapidly cooled, form non-crystalline structures with unique properties such as high hardness and coefficient of restitution. Learn about the manufacturing processes, including plasma arc melting, and potential applications like Mars gears. Delve into the emerging field of bulk metallic glasses and their impact on materials science and engineering. Suitable for undergraduate students, K-12 education, and informal science education, this resource is part of the Impact of Materials on Society (IMOS) course, which bridges engineering, humanities, and social sciences to address critical social issues through technology.
