“…Particularly for BMGs, the metastable nature and resulting incompatibility with conventional processing and joining methods have become stumbling blocks for their practical applications 7, 8 . To address the ability to join BMGs, various techniques that have been developed specifically or tailored for BMGs based on liquid-state processing including electron beam welding 9, 10 , laser beam welding 11, 12 , gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding 13 , and pulse current method 14, 15 ; or solid-state processing including friction welding 16, 17 , explosion welding 18 , ultrasonic welding 19, 20 , diffusion bonding 21 , spark welding 22 , and resistance spot welding 23 . Recently, a thermoplastic-based method 24 and a liquid-solid joining method 7 were introduced.…”
