    Amorphous metal

    In 1992, the first commercial amorphous alloy, Vitreloy 1 (41.2% Zr, 13.8% Ti, 12.5% Cu, 10% Ni, and 22.5% Be), was developed at Caltech, as a part of Department of Energy and NASA research of new aerospace materials. ... As a result, amorphous alloys have been commercialized for use in sports equipment, medical devices, and as cases for electronic equipment.
