Amorphous metal, also known as metallic glass, is a type of metal that lacks a well-defined crystalline structure. Unlike traditional metals, which have atoms arranged in an orderly, repeating pattern, amorphous metals display a disordered arrangement of atoms. This unique structure is typically achieved through rapid cooling, a process known as quenching, which prevents the atoms from forming a regular crystalline lattice.
