CONT

Les techniques d'hypertrempe [...] permettent de solidifier brutalement un matériau fondu en le refroidissant à des vitesses qui peuvent dépasser un million de degrés par seconde. Elles ont ouvert un nouveau champ d'investigation, celui des métaux amorphes [...] La trempe ultra-rapide est obtenue en projetant violemment l'oxyde fondu contre une paroi froide, afin de l'écraser et de créer un contact thermique aussi étroit que possible.
