Abstract
In this chapter, the various synthesizing methods of metallic amorphous materials/bulk metallic glasses (BMG) into light metal matrices are presented, and is a new topic of research. The currently existing literature on the properties of various light metal matrix—amorphous/BMG reinforced composite systems are discussed, particularly in terms of improvement in mechanical properties.
