hard-surfacing material, Brenner's startling observation of the amorphous structure has gone relatively unnoticed. The discovery of amorphous metals is generally credited to P. Duwez, who in 1960 produced amorphous samples by rapid quenching an AU75Si25 alloy from the liquid state.

An amorphous metal has varying sizes of atoms in a random arrangement in the solid, which decreases the number of dislocation slip planes. One consequence of this atomic gridlock is that some amorphous metals are very hard.

In the 21st Century, scientists at Caltech and Liquidmetal® Technologies develop a technology where metals behave similar to plastics. This new class of alloys is called Liquidmetal, due to its amorphous or liquid atomic structure.

In order to use these materials the amorphous metals must usually be cast in thin ribbon form and then wrapped into the proper shape. This can lead to plastic deformation, often through the formation of shear bands, and result in permanent magnetization that interferes with device operation.

Some scientist types at Yale have developed a new fabrication process using bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), which are "amorphous metals" that can avoid crystalizing when cooled in a specific way. The upshot is that the metal -- while seeming solid -- acts as a slow-flowing liquid, with no structure beyond the atomic level.

Metal moulds are stronger than semiconductors, but patterning of metals on the nanometre scale is limited by their finite grain size. Amorphous metals (metallic glasses) exhibit superior mechanical properties and are intrinsically free from grain size limitations.
