Can you glassify Aluminium?


Plain aluminum? Sure, in ultra-thin foils by splat cooling and other
ultra-fast cooling techniques. Pure elemental metals and lightly
alloyed materials crystallize very, very fast. You need cooling rates
on the order of 1 million degrees per second to glassify them.


Has any work been done on CVD of glassy metals?
