Glass Forming

A new series of bulk metallic glasses were developed by addition of Fe into the ternary Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy. Although Fe-Cu element pair shows distinct immiscibility with a large positive heat of mixing, substitution of Fe for Cu significantly improves the glass-forming ability of the ternary Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy. The critical diameter for glass-formation increases from 8 mm for Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy to 20 mm for Zr60Cu25Fe5Al10 and Zr62.5Cu22.5Fe5Al10 alloys. As compared with the ternary Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy, the new quaternary Zr-Cu-Fe-Al alloys show lower liquidus temperatures. The Zr60Cu25Fe5Al10 and Zr62.5Cu22.5Fe5Al10 alloys, the best BMG-formers in this alloy system, are found to locate very near a Zr-Cu-Fe-Al eutectic point. The new Zr-Fe-Cu-Al bulk metallic glasses exhibit high strength of about 1700 MPa. The plastic strain increases from 7.8% to 11.3% with increasing the content of Fe from 0 to 12.5%. The finding of a Ni-free Zr-based bulk glassy alloy with the extremely high glass-forming ability is expected to extend the future application of bulk metallic glasses.

Co Addition

We developed novel Ti-Zr-Be-Co bulk metallic glasses through Co addition based on a ternary Ti45Zr20Be35 alloy. By altering the alloying routes and alloying contents, the influence of Co alloying on glass-forming ability, thermal stability, thermoplastic formability, crystallization behavior, and corrosion resistance has been investigated systematically. It was found that the best alloying route for enhancing the glass-forming ability, thermoplastic formability, compressive plasticity, and corrosion resistance is to replace Be by Co. Ti45Zr20Be23Co12 possesses the largest critical diameter of 15 mm for glass formation. Ti45Zr20Be27Co8 possesses the highest thermoplastic formability which is comparable to that of Vitreloy alloys. Ti45Zr20Be25Co10 exhibits the largest room temperature plasticity of 15.7% together with a high specific strength of 3.90 × 105 Nm/kg. The addition of Co also strongly affects the crystallization behavior of the base alloy, resulting in a more complex crystallization process. The corrosion resistance of Ti-Zr-Be alloy in 1 mol/L HCl solution can also be enhanced by Co alloying. The related mechanisms have been explained in detail, which provide guidance for the composition design of Ti-based metallic glasses with improved properties.

Glass Forming

Ti -based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have great potential for use as structural materials due to their excellent mechanical properties. How to fabricate Ti -based metallic glasses with sufficient large size has always been the key issue in both the theoretic and technology aspects since finding the BMG. In this paper, we try to fabricate Ti -based metallic glasses with high glass-forming ability (GFA) through composition design based on various empirical ideas. BMG alloy with composition of Ti 43.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.75 Ni 5.76 was synthesized based on the deep eutectic idea, and the critical diameter of this glassy alloy reaches to 2 mm. The GFA of this alloy was further improved by small addition of Si (0.5-1 at %). BMG rods with diameters up to 3mm were synthesized for compositions of Ti 42.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.75 Ni 5.76 Si 1, Ti 43.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.25 Ni 5.76 Si 0.5 and Ti 43.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.75 Ni 4.76 Si 1. The amorphous structure of all the samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The thermal stability associated with glass transition, supercooled liquid region and crystallization was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Possible mechanisms for the improvement of GFA were discussed.

In this work, we propose a simple approach for designing plastic bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) by exploiting the ductility of intermetallic compounds involved in the BMG-forming system. Its validity was examined by investigating a series of quaternary Cu-Zr-Y-Al alloys along the composition tie-line between Cu42Zr44.4Y3.6Al10 (Y1) and the B2 CuZr phase, expressed as (Cu0.5Zr0.5)x(M)100-x (M = Zr0.15Y0.225Al0.625, 84≤x≤93). When tuning the composition towards the CuZr, the glass-forming ability of alloys is dramatically degraded, showing a reduction of critical diameter Dc for BMG formation from 16 mm at x = 84 (Y1) to 2 mm at x = 93. As the composition of BMGs shifts to the CuZr terminal, the shear modulus μ of the BMGs decreases, whereas the Poisson's ratio ν increases. With respect to the Y1 BMG, compressive plasticity and toughness of the Y2 BMG (x = 92, Dc = 4 mm) with a higher concentration of the CuZr are improved, which is consistent with its lower μ and higher ν values.

Peak Value

The internal friction (IF) behaviors of a series of LaCe-, Zr-, and La-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were studied by a computer-controlled, conventional inverted torsion pendulum. The results indicate that with an increasing temperature, the IF also increases gradually in the supercooled liquid region, followed by a decrease caused by crystallization. BMGs with a good glass forming ability (GFA) usually possess a high IF peak value for an alloy system with the same constituent elements. Furthermore, the magnitude of the IF value (Qi−1) of the inflection point is an efficient criterion of GFA. The Qi−1 value is a valid criterion under the conditions of identical constituent elements and different element contents. However, Qi−1 and GFA have no relationship among different alloy systems.
