metallic glass
(redirected from Amorphous metal)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

metallic glass

Substance produced from metallic materials (non-corrosive alloys rather than simple metals) in a liquid state which, by very rapid cooling, are prevented from reverting to their regular metallic structure. Instead they take on the properties of glass, while retaining the metallic properties of malleability and relatively good electrical conductivity.
