Laser Amorphization Technology

Laser amorphization (also known as laser glazing) is a process that uses laser irradiation to heat the material surface above its melting point and form a molten pool on the surface. After the laser beam moves away, the rapid solidification of the melt causes changes in the microstructure and properties of the surface layer.Application ProspectLiquid metal, also referred to as amorphous alloy or metallic glass, is a solid material with an atomic structure similar to that of liquid state. Featuring unique structure and superior properties, it is regarded as a revolutionary new material.

Compared with traditional crystalline materials, liquid metals are free of defects such as vacancies, dislocations and grain boundaries, and possess outstanding comprehensive properties including high strength, high hardness, high surface finish, high elasticity, excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. At present, globally developed liquid metal materials outperform graphene — known as the "King of Materials" — in many performance aspects.

The lightweight liquid metals developed in research exhibit numerous excellent characteristics, such as high electrical conductivity, magnetism, deformability, stackable assemblability, high thermal conductivity, and reversible transition between liquid and solid states. These are also the advantages of graphene. However, graphene is difficult to liquefy, which limits its application scope and makes it less versatile than liquid metals in many application scenarios.
