Abstract

The article focuses on the effort of Douglas Hofmann to produce a new class of resistive bulk metallic glasses. In 2003, he studied the materials engineering program together with his college teacher William Johnson at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in California. He further knew the concept of ductility to the glasses. He decided to apply the induction coil, an instrument which conducts heat over a lower range of temperature. Based on the subsequent analysis, he learned that two phases are formed when the glass composites are heated in the temperature range above the melting point of glass and below the dendrite's temperature.
