basic information
**Lecture Summary** Metallic glass (amorphous alloy) possesses unique mechanical properties such as high strength, low Young's modulus, and a large elastic limit strain (2%). Additionally, it has properties like exceptional corrosion resistance, electromagnetic characteristics, and ultra-precise/nano-fine molding capabilities, making it one of the most anticipated new metallic materials of the 21st century. Approximately 20 years have passed since the discovery of this alloy, and practical applications based on previous fundamental research are about to begin in earnest. Last year, a U.S. venture company made headlines by signing a comprehensive contract with Apple Inc. In this lecture, I will introduce the potential of metallic glass, along with examples of successful and failed product developments, and propose a business model based on the current state of metallic glass.
