Abstract
Methods and apparatus for forming high aspect ratio metallic glass objects, including metallic glass sheets and tubes, by a melt deposition process are provided. In some methods and apparatus a molten alloy is deposited inside a channel formed by two substrates moving relative to each other, and shaped and quenched by conduction to the substrates in a manner that enables the molten alloy to vitrify without undergoing substantial shear flow.
