Incredible glass

The Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of Warsaw University of Technology, Wołoska 141
Jerzy Latuch, Ph.D.

Modern technology enables production of new materials of unique properties. Such a group of materials are metallic glasses, i.e. metallic alloys of the structure of normal window glass, exhibiting extraordinary magnetic or mechanical properties. At the same time, they are a basic material for obtaining nanocrystalline materials. The participants of the show will witness subsequent stages of the process of manufacturing metallic glass and then they will evaluate their basic physical properties themselves. They will all take home a-few-centimetre-long parts of the produced metallic glass.
