-
□The effect of alloy composition and structure on plastic deformation.
-
0Microstructural design of composites for optimal toughness.
•
Development of processing techniques, including thermophysical
processing of complex and/or nanoscale features as well as production of
metallic glass foams.
It is highly likely that continued work over the next 20-50 years will result in
significant advances in all these areas, and that metallic glasses and metallic
glass matrix composites will see increasing acceptance as structural materials.
Whether or not they achieve widespread use in aerospace applications,
however, depends critically on the development of new, lightweight alloys.
