Recently, novel fabrication methods have led to the production of metallic glass specimens with sizes on the order of 8 cm, which are aptly called bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Importantly, BMGs could possess high fracture strengths, great fracture toughness and elasticity, and have the near-net-shaping fabrication potential. As such, there is a great interest in the industrial and additive manufacturing applications of BMGs with regards to mechanical, structural, and biomedical properties.

Some of the important topics to be explored:
(1) Essential links among theory, modeling, and experimental methods
(2) Applications of amorphous alloy catalysts in industry
(3) Additive manufacturing and three dimensional (3-D) printing techniques
(4) Nanoglasses and other composite bulk amorphous alloy nanostructures
(5) Bio-applications of BMGs
(6) Mechanical, corrosion, magnetic, electric, and thermal behavior
(7) Other industrial applications
