Ductile Bulk Metallic Glass Composites

结构材料是现代社会的基本组成部分，即使是一个小小的进步也会对我们的社会产生巨大的影响。钢的性能已接近极限。大块金属玻璃（BMG）的发展为结构材料领域的革命性变革提供了机会，其强度是钢的3或4倍。拟议项目旨在克服BMG延展性不足的主要技术障碍。韧性和高强度BMG的发展将使澳大利亚及其研究人员处于这一令人兴奋的材料创新的最前沿。该项目将发展和加强澳大利亚与海外英才中心的国际研究联系。

Structural materials are the basic building blocks of modern society, even a small advancement can have a strong impact on our society. The properties of steel have been pushed close to the limit. The development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) offers the opportunity to revolutionize the field of structural materials with strengths 3 or 4 time that of steel. The proposed project, aims to overcome the major technical barrier for BMGs of insufficient ductility. The development of ductile and high strength BMGs, will position Australia and its researchers at the forefront of this exciting material innovation. The project will develop and strengthen Australia's international research linkages with overseas centres of excellence.
