The article deals with the state of production of bulk amorphous and nanocrystalline materials. Conditions for the preservation of the “X-ray” amorphous state in compact materials obtained by explosive pressing of amorphous alloy powders are formulated. The two-front Stefan problem is solved and it is shown that the cooling rate of liquid layers on the contact surfaces of powder particles under explosive loading corresponds to the critical quenching rate of the formation of amorphous structures in metal alloys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
