Abstract
Flexible BMG elements and methods for making the flexible BMG elements. The BMG element contains a main body made from a BMG material and may further contain a flange. The main body may contain at least one opening. The main body may be a thin-walled structure that is compressible, extendable, and/or bendable. A surface of the main body may be corrugated with a series of ridges and furrows.
Claims21
A flexible BMG element, the flexible element comprising:
- a main body with at least one opening, wherein the main body is made from a BMG material, wherein the main body comprises a thin-walled structure that is compressible, extendable, and/or bendable, and wherein the thin wall is a closed surface such that neither gas nor liquid passes through the thin wall.
A flexible BMG element, the flexible element comprising:
- a main body with at least one opening, wherein the main body is made from a BMG material, wherein the main body comprises a thin-walled structure that is compressible, extendable, and/or bendable, and wherein a wall thickness uniformity of the main body is under 35% or above 50%, wherein the wall thickness uniformity is defined by [(tmax−tmin)/tmin]*100, wherein tmax and tmin are the maximum and the minimum wall thickness, respectively.
