TL;DR: In this article, the effect of annealing on microstructure and related tensile properties is examined and the results demonstrate that the mechanical behavior of the Al-12Si SLM samples can be tuned within a wide range of strength and ductility through proper annesaling treatment.

TL;DR: The precipitation of nanocrystals and their subsequent twinning can be understood in terms of a deformation-induced softening of the instantaneous shear modulus and is believed to be not just limited to CuZr-based B MGs but also to promote ductility in other BMGs.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that selective laser melting (SLM) can be applied to implement complex geometries and components from an Fe-base metallic glass, which is in principle viable for a large variety of metallic alloys and paves the way for the novel synthesis of materials and the development of parts with advanced functional and structural properties.

TL;DR: The main issues regarding glass strength are discussed, with an emphasis on the underlying microscopic mechanisms that are responsible for mechanical properties, and comments are given on several toughening strategies for increasing the damage resistance of glass products.

TL;DR: In this article, the phase formation of a multicomponent Zr66.4Nb6.4Cu10.5Ni8.7Al8 glass-forming alloy upon copper mold casting is reported.
