块体金属玻璃及其衍生物金属基复合材料是一种新兴的高性能工程材料，正处于广泛商业化的边缘。这篇综述文章讨论了这些材料的起源，以及它们的应用和研究重点如何分为两个不同的领域，一个主要集中在BMG的类塑料加工性和另一个BMGMCs的增强断裂力学。虽然这些材料的成分和来源相似，但有人认为，由于它们的加工要求和预期用途不同，它们的实施方式将有很大差异。BMG将可能用作化妆品应用中的塑料替代组分（例如，手表、手机、生物医学植入物），而BMGMC将用于结构应用（例如，高尔夫球杆、用于防御的硬件、能量吸收结构）。
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and their derivative metal matrix composites (BMGMCs) are emerging high-performance engineering materials that are on the precipice of widespread commercialization. This review article discusses the origin of these materials and how their applications and research focus have divided into two distinct fields, one primarily focused on the plastic-like processability of BMGs and the other on the enhanced fracture mechanics of BMGMCs. Although the materials are of similar composition and origin, it is argued that their implementation will be widely varying due to their different processing requirements and intended uses. BMGs will likely find use as plastic-replacement components in cosmetic applications (e.g., watches, cell phones, biomedical implants) while BMGMCs will be used in structural applications (e.g., golf clubs, hardware for defense, energy absorbing structures).
