“…The maximum thickness of Al-based BMG is limited to 100 µm due to their relatively low glass forming ability, except recently synthesized amorphous Al 86 Ni 8 Y 6 alloy with 1 mm thickness [24]. Fe, Ni, Cu and Zr-based metallic amorphous/partially crystalline glassy coatings have been synthesized on a large scale by thermal spray techniques, but same is not true for Al based BMGs [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. This could be largely attributed to commercial nonavailability of aluminum based BMG powder and rapid crystallization during most of the…”
