Documents / Report
The Defense Intelligence Agency issued this Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIA-08-0911-012), dated 14 December 2009, as one of its FY 2009 advanced technology reports under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews how metallic glasses are structured and processed, their mechanical properties, and metallic glass matrix composites. It concludes that dendritic composites could replace high-strength steels in some aerospace parts. It adds that wide aerospace use depends critically on developing new lightweight glass-forming alloys.

It is highly likely that continued work over the next 20-50 years will result in significant
advances in all these areas, and that metallic glasses and metallic glass matrix
composites will see increasing acceptance as structural materials. Whether or not they
achieve widespread use in aerospace applications, however, depends critically on the
development of new, lightweight alloys.
