Primes¶
- Quenching
- Cooling a melt faster than its crystallization rate traps it as a glass, the disordered liquid structure made permanent because diffusion has stopped.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract states glass is most commonly made by cooling a liquid fast enough to avoid crystallization, backing the glass half of the claim; it says nothing about steel martensite or diffusion arrest.
“The most common way of making a glass is by cooling a viscous liquid fast enough to avoid crystallization.”
- Cooling a melt faster than its crystallization rate traps it as a glass, the disordered liquid structure made permanent because diffusion has stopped.
Mechanisms¶
- Temperature or Composition Quench
- Its failure mode is that it is easy to over- or under-quench: plunge so deep or so fast that the system is trapped in a metastable or vitrified state far from the intended domains, or so shallow that nucleation stalls and nothing separates on any useful timescale.
This sourceExplains that cooling fast enough to bypass crystallization can kinetically arrest a liquid in an amorphous glass.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
