DEFINITION

Classification: 148/403

Amorphous, i.e., glassy:

(under subclass 400) Stock material which has no regular crystal structure, but rather has a series of noncrystalline areas much like a glass.

(1) Note. This structure usually is created by cooling certain alloys at extremely high rates of speed, such that the alloy can be solidified and cooled before having a chance to crystallize.
