Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with minor addition of Ag, Au or Pt elements were prepared by copper mold casting. The Microstructure of the as-cast samples was examined by TEM. Nanoparticles identified as cubic Pd3Ti with crystal planes of (111), (200), (220) and (311) are observed in all the alloys modified by the minor addition of Ag, Au or Pt. The results revealed that the glassy/nanoparticle composited alloys exhibited high strength about 2000 MPa and plastic strain between 1.5-10% due to the inhibition of propagation of shear band.

Fe -based bulk amorphous rods of 3 mm in diameter and a composition of Fe 41 Cr 15 Mo 14 C 15 B 6 Y 2 Co 7 were produced by copper mold casting. The as-cast amorphous rods contain a small (2%) fraction of pores. To close the pores, samples cut from the amorphous rods were hot isostatically pressed (hipped) at 863 K, which is in the supercooled liquid temperature range between the glass transition temperature and the crystallization temperature of the amorphous phase, and under a pressure of 200 Mpa. Microstructure examination of the hipped samples shows that hipping results in an increase of the density of the samples from 7.9 g/cm3 to 8.0 g/cm3, and a decrease of the porosity level from 2% to 1%, and that a very small fraction of unknown crystalline phase form. As a result of these microstructure change caused by hipping, the average room temperature compressive fracture strength of the bulk metallic glass (BMG) decrease from 3500 Mpa to 3000 MPa, while the strain to fracture changes little from 1.5% to 1.4%. The mechanisms of the effect of hipping on microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe -based BMG are discussed.

This study investigated the mechanical properties and microstructures of Er-containing Al–Mg alloys. The research found that the H114-T sheet of Er-containing Al–Mg alloys showed a relative good comprehensive performance in mechanical properties. With the special rolling and heat treatment process, this H114-T sheet showed different morphology of microstructures with the other sheets in Er-containing Al–Mg alloys. Grains in H114-T sheet performed irregular shape polygon, a number of subgrains appeared in grains, the amount of dislocations in grains decreased. H114-T sheet possessed a lot of Copper texture, this may be one of important factors influenced the mechanical properties.
