Abstract
Provided in one embodiment is a method for producing a composition, comprising: heating a first material comprising an amorphous alloy to a first temperature; and contacting the first material with a second material comprising at least one fiber to form a composition comprising the first material and the second material; wherein the first temperature is higher than or equal to a glass transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous alloy.
Claims22
A method for producing a composite, comprising:
- heating a structure to a first temperature, wherein the structure comprises a first material comprising an amorphous alloy and a second material comprising at least one fiber,
- pressurizing the structure to cause the first material to flow into the second material, and
- cooling the structure to form the composite,
- wherein the first temperature is higher than or equal to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous alloy and less than the crystallization temperature (Tx) of the amorphous alloy.
A method for producing a composite, comprising:
- heating a structure to a first temperature, wherein the structure comprises a first material and a second material comprising at least one fiber,
- pressurizing the structure to cause the first material to flow into the second material, and
- cooling the structure to form the composite,
- wherein the cooling the first material is at a first cooling rate sufficient to form an amorphous alloy in the first material and the first temperature is greater than the crystallization temperature (Tx) of the amorphous alloy.
A composite comprising a first material and a second material, wherein at least a portion of the first material is in contact and bonded with the second material, the first material comprises an amorphous alloy, and the second material comprises at least one fiber.
