Abstract This paper surveys the present state of knowledge concerning the production, stability and structure of metallic glasses made by rapid quenching from the melt, and outlines their principal magnetic, electrical and mechanical properties. Emphasis is placed on the influence of annealing, at temperatures below the glass transition, on a range of properties. The prospect for practical applications is examined, with special reference to those exploiting magnetic and mechanical properties.
