在大多数人想到玻璃时,玻璃板的概念便迅速跃入我们的脑海中。但在一定的条件下,金属也能做成玻璃,例如:这种玻璃可作为电力变压器和高尔夫球棍的理想材料。巴尔的摩港,约翰斯·郝彼科恩斯(Johns Hopkins)大学研究员rodd Hufnagel正在研究一种生产超强,富有弹性和磁性特点的金属玻璃的方法。Hufnagel希望了解,金属玻璃形成时,发生溶化金属冷却成固体时的金相转变。 对科学家来讲,玻璃是任何能从液体冷却成固体而无结晶的材料。大多数金属冷却时就结晶,原子排列成有规则的形式称作品格。如果不 When most people think of glass, the concept of glass quickly jumped into our minds. But under certain conditions, the metal can be made of glass, for example: This glass can be used as ideal material for power transformers and golf clubs. Rodd Hufnagel, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins University in the Port of Baltimore, is working on a method for producing metallic glasses that are superb, elastic and magnetic. Hufnagel wanted to understand the metallurgical transformation that takes place when the molten metal cools to a solid state when the metallic glass is formed. To scientists, glass is any material that can cool from a liquid to a solid without crystallization. Most metals crystallize on cooling and the atoms are arranged in a regular pattern called character. if not
