A Resistance Change Became a Glass-Finding Shortcut
Researchers used electrical-resistivity changes during crystallization to screen metallic-glass-forming alloys.
Summary
Researchers used electrical-resistivity changes during crystallization to screen metallic-glass-forming alloys.
A Sungkyunkwan University and Chinese Academy of Sciences team proposed the resistivity change that appears when an alloy crystallizes as a descriptor for metallic-glass-forming ability. Their measurement strategy can screen hundreds of alloy compositions in a single experimental run, reducing reliance on slower trial-by-trial discovery. It is a laboratory indicator that still requires confirmation for a candidate's processing window and useful properties.
