It sounds like amorphous metals may be a fruitful avenue of research.
Yes, I imagine abrasion would cause lots of surface cracks on an amorphous
metal - if it behaves like glass.
I had wondered in the past whether the surface preparation of the palladium
electrodes was one of the keys.
Don't know how to develop cracks in a powdered material. I suppose that if the
material is not too ductile, just the
formation of the powder in a ball mill would do it. SO experimenting with the
ball mill might be one possibility.
