Abstract

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are a novel class of metal alloys that are poised for widespread commercialization. Over 30 years of NASA and ESA (as well as other space agency) funding for both ground-based and microgravity experiments has resulted in fundamental science data that have enabled commercial production. This review focuses on the history of microgravity BMG research, which includes experiments on the space shuttle, the ISS, ground-based experiments, commercial fabrication and currently funded efforts.

摘要

大块金属玻璃（BMGs）是一类新型金属合金，有望实现广泛商业化。美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和欧洲航天局（ESA）（以及其他航天机构）30多年来为地面和微重力实验提供的资金，产生了有助于商业生产的基础科学数据。本综述聚焦于微重力下大块金属玻璃的研究历史，其中包括航天飞机、国际空间站上的实验、地面实验、商业制造以及目前获得资助的项目。
