MGs called also glassy metals, amorphous metals, liquid metals, are considered to be among the materials of the future. The classic methods for industrialization of MGs are: end-casting in copper molds and protected environment, die forging, atomization for obtaining MG powder,selective laser melting, imprinting in molds, thermoplastic shaping in the super-cooled temperature region. These methods are suitable for producing high value-added precision components but the problems still exists: expensive tools, limited lifetime of tools and the occurring of crystallization. Actually methods (thermoplastic shaping, casting and die forging) are limited by the low flexibility of production and by higher costs of tools and accessories. More suitable methods are greatly desired to machine MGs for their wider applications. © 2017 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2017 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85023638772&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f201711203003&partnerID=40&md5=172091d65947ee574cc3f575c9aaedbc id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/201711203003 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 112 refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Axinte, E. and Bofu, A. and Wang, Y. and Abdul-Rani, A.M. and Aliyu, A.A.A.
