In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses. Here, new insights were gained into the composition of alloys in order to achieve a better glass forming ability and thus enable larger components. While the first amorphous alloys usually consisted of two elements, the currently most promising amorphous alloys often consist of four to five elements. Occasionally zirconium-based alloys show the best glass-forming ability, with which the largest component dimensions can be realized.

Crises, for better or worse, bring profound changes to industry and society. Since 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced industries to reassess their business continuity plans (BCPs) and reprioritize corporate decisions and investments. Our new normal, in a Covid19-saturated world, continues to evolve. Businesses are now more complex, uncertain, and opportunity-driven. Organizations must adopt lean and agile strategies to remain resilient, seize opportunities that will enable progress and prevent regress, and future-proof their products and services.

The manufacturing industry is undergoing tremendous change. The industrial revolution brought us assembly lines and mass production. The result was a dramatic increase in worker productivity. The digital revolution brings a host of new opportunities, enabled by data and the power and intelligence of cloud computing. However, it’s the talent, skill, and creativity of your people that determine success.

One of the most important decisions that an asset-intensive enterprise must make is how to manage and care for its assets (i.e. equipment, buildings, plants and machinery). This is a decision that affects everyone in the organization, from the plant operators, to the engineers and all the way to executives in the C-suite. The solution will be different depending on the needs of the business and how each uses its assets.

The fourth industrial revolution is transforming the manufacturing industry as we speak. Industry 4.0 is digitally driven, and like all other revolutions, the transformation did not happen overnight. Since the first personal computer on a factory floor in 1970s, computer-aided design has developed and matured exponentially. Strategically eective evolutionary steps has resulted in productivity and eciency gains in manufacturing. We live in the Industry 4.0 era, characterized by the digitization of manufacturing processes. Inevitably, today, information plays a significant role for an enterprise transformation. Data on how the product’s design and manufacturing information is authored, exchanged, and processed is critical to competitiveness. Information ‘silos’ for various life cycle processes are gradually connected to form a digital thread of information, envisioned to integrate and drive modern product design, manufacturing, and product support service processes.
