Metallic glasses are a class of amorphous metals characterized by a disordered atomic structure, which results in unique mechanical and physical properties such as high strength, elasticity, and corrosion resistance. These materials are produced by rapidly cooling molten metal alloys, preventing the formation of a crystalline structure.

Elasticity measures the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable, often used in economics to assess how quantity demanded or supplied responds to price changes. It provides insights into consumer behavior, market dynamics, and helps in making pricing and policy decisions.

Elasticity

Corrosion resistance refers to the ability of a material, often a metal, to withstand damage caused by oxidization or other chemical reactions with its environment. It is a critical property for materials used in harsh environments to ensure longevity and structural integrity.
