Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Described herein is a method of selectively depositing molten bulk metallic glass (BMG). In one embodiment, a continuous stream or discrete droplets of molten BMG is deposited to selected positions. The deposition can be repeated as needed layer by layer. One or more layers of non-BMG can be used as needed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method comprising: melting a material having a composition configured to form a bulk metallic glass (BMG) on cooling, thereby forming a molten alloy; depositing one or more layers of the molten alloy; depositing one or more layers of a non-BMG metal material; and cooling the one or more layers of the molten alloy, thereby forming a unitary component comprising: one or more BMG layers corresponding to the one or more layers of the molten alloy; and the one o…
