Continuous thermoplastic drawing of metallic glass wires and tubes
• Continuous thermoplastic drawing enables meter-scale BMG wires and tubes. • High-throughput fabrication achieved at strain rates of hundreds of s⁻¹. • Uniform wire diameters controlled precisely via draw ratio. • First scalable route for continuous hollow BMG tube fabrication. • Process preserves amorphous structure of Pd 35 Ni 45 P 17 B 3 and Zr 44 Ti 11 Ni 10 Cu 10 Be 25 alloys.
