Well crusty, I wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with someone like you who is obviously incapable of abstract thought and unable to take a joke - so the feeling is mutual.

Amorphous alloys have a variety of potentially useful properties. In particular, they tend to be stronger than crystalline alloys of similar chemical composition, and they can sustain larger reversible ("elastic") deformations than crystalline alloys. Amorphous metals derive their strength directly from their non-crystalline structure, which does not have any of the defects (such as dislocations) that limit the strength of crystalline alloys. One modern amorphous metal, known as Vitreloy, has a tensile strength that is almost twice that of high-grade titanium.

Jackass...

Blah, blah, blah. I am impressed you can cut and paste from Wikipedia.
