Production methods, glass-forming conditions and fundamental properties of amorphous alloys that are produced by melt-spinning methods are reviewed, and the application of amorphous alloys to joining fields is surveyed. The merits of amorphous alloys are discussed in comparison with crystalline alloys. In particular, amorphous alloys are applied to the brazing and soldering fillers that impart the high reliability to joints. Bulky amorphous materials are tried to be prepared by laser, electron-beam melting and sputtering etc.
