[TheForge] Metallic glass

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

The last article of the 3 articles infers that it might depend on the alloy and  how hot and how fast it was cooled. 
Sounds like it might be ductile in some alloys and even annealable.
Ain't gonna do it with superquench, that's for sure.
Before that i was guessing that when one heated it to forging temperature it would form back into a crystal structure and the amorphous glass properties would be lost.
But i know diddle.

I wonder if its forgeable or do you knap it into a knife. :-)
