Improve the Forming Ability of Al-Based Metallic Glass Under Ultrasonic Vibration at Room Temperature

In this work, a rapid and controllable ultrasonic vibration method for forming Al-based metallic glass at room temperature is proposed. This method can dramatically improve the forming ability of Al-based metallic glasses, which are virtually brittle at room temperature and have almost no supercoole...
