Abstract:
Amorphous metal technology represents the next quantum leap in materials science. They are a new class of materials that have a disordered, non-crystalline, glassy structure, that are created when metals or their alloys are either cooled very quickly or because of an alloy combination, bypassing crystallization during solidification. Due to their unique microstructure, amorphous metals combine ultrahigh strength, high hardness and ductility in one single structure. They are more corrosion resistant compared to conventional metals due to the lack of long-range periodicity, related grain boundaries and crystal defects such as dislocations. In addition, they are stronger than crystalline metals and they can sustain larger reversible deformations than crystalline alloys.
LiquidMetal Group Holding (LMGH) has been the first company to develop and commercialize amorphous metal coatings and it specializes in developing a complete line of coatings using this revolutionary technology.

Bio:
Evelina Vogli, VP, Research and Development at LMGH, has 20+ years of experience in R&D and 15+ years of experience in management. She has expert knowledge in materials science, ceramics, metals and coatings. She currently works in advancing the amorphous metals in developing new coatings and bulk materials. Prior to LMGH, she worked at MesoCoat Inc. as Director of R&D in advancing the PComP (Powder Composite Powders) line in developing new coatings. Prior to that, she worked at the University of Maryland on various research projects including plasma surface treatment for carbon-based materials. She was the head of the coating technologies division and Chief Technology Officer at the Dortmund University of Technology in Germany between 2003 and 2010. She has worked and managed more than 30 research projects for thermal sprayed coatings, carbon based materials, energy saved materials, isolation, and sensor materials. The results of her works are published in more than 80 peer-reviewed papers and two international patents She is a reviewer of Surface and Coatings Technology Journal, Journal of European Ceramic Society, ASME Journals and Thermal Spraying Bulletin, as well as an Editorial Board member of ISRN Materials Science. Dr. Vogli studied Chemical Engineering in Tirana University (Albania) and earned her PhD in 2003 from the University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany). She was habilitated in 2011 (Priv.-Doz.) and received the Venia Legendi in Surface and Coating Technologies at Dortmund University of Technology (Germany).
