Amorphous alloys technological applications

The amorphous alloys have attracted widespread research interests because of their technological promise for practical applications due to execellent properties and scientific... 

Metals are very commonly used materials in various technologies and applications. Properties of metallic materials are shaped by their composition and structure. Moreover, most natural metals are foxmd in chemical combination with other elements. In the current study, resistance to electrochemical corrosion tests were applied to metallic materials with different properties and structures aluminum (Al), aluminum with a surface layer of oxide aluminum (AI2O3), iron (Fe), S235JR steel, nickel (Ni), microcrystalline nickel (Nim), nanocrystaUine nickel (Nin), and amorphous alloy of phosphorus-nickel (NiP). The choice of these materials was due to the universality of their applications in technology. 

Electroless plating is applicable to the deposition of metals and of alloys. Indeed electroless plating of a Ni-P alloy, developed by Brenner in 1946, was the first example of formation of an amorphous alloy, often referred to as a glassy metal. Since then several methods have been developed for the deposition of different amorphous alloys, both by electroless and electroplating technologies, in addition to metallographic methods of preparing such alloys, which will not be discussed here,... 

Selected amorphous membranes without noble metals (Zirconium-Nickel [Zr-Ni] alloy), dry fluorinated metal hydrides and the application of this fluorinated metal hydride in a slurry as the three most promising non-DOE funded purification technologies...
