Bulk Metallic Glasses Produced By Mechanical Alloying

Generally solidification route is adopted for the production of metallic glasses but the casting thickness is one of the major limitation of this route. This problem can be overcome easily by adopting solid state techniques such as Mechanical alloying. a lot of work has been carried out to produce amorphous alloys by utilizing this technique.

follwing is shown the mechanical alloying mill and the general mechanism behind the process
