Formation of bulk Fe-based glassy alloys with high corrosion resistance was succeeded in the Fe75–x–yCrxMoyC15B10 alloy system. A large temperature interval of supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) of 40–90 K was obtained over a wide composition range for the Fe75?x–yCrxMoyC15B10 alloys. The Fe75–x–yCrxMoyC15B10 alloys were prepared in a bulk glassy form with diameters of 1.0–2.5 mm by copper mold casting. The bulk glassy Fe75–x–yCrxMoyC15B10 alloys exhibited high corrosion resistance in 1 N HCl solution. The glassy alloys containing Cr were spontaneously passivated with a wide passive region before the transpassive dissolution of Cr. The passive current density decreased significantly with an increase of alloying Cr content, indicating that the addition of Cr was effective on enhancing the corrosion resistance. Excess addition of Mo for replacing Fe in the present alloys was detrimental for the corrosion resistance.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with high thermal stability and good corrosion resistance were synthesized in the (Cu0.6Hf0.25Ti0.15)100−x−yNiyNbx system by copper mold casting. The addition of Ni element causes an extension of a supercooled liquid region (ΔTx = Tx – Tg) from 60 K for Cu60Hf25Ti15 to 70 K for (Cu0.6Hf0.25Ti0.15)95Ni5. The simultaneous addition of Ni and Nb to the alloy is effective in improving synergistically the corrosion resistance in 1 N HCl, 3 mass% NaCl, and 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl solutions. The highly protective Hf-, Ti-, and Nb-enriched surface film is formed by the rapid initial preferential dissolution of Cu and Ni, which is responsible for the high corrosion resistance of the alloys in the solutions examined.

The melting behavior, thermal stability, and glass-forming ability (GFA) of Cu84−xZrxAg8Al8 (x = 42 to 50) glassy alloys were investigated. The alloy with x = 46 exhibits the highest reduced glass transition temperature (Trg). However, the best GFA was obtained for alloy with x = 48 corresponding to the largest supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) and a deep eutectic composition. At the best GFA composition, full glassy samples with diameters of over 20 mm could be fabricated by injection copper mold casting and water quenching without flux. The underlying mechanism of the unusual GFA of the alloy is discussed.

New Cu-based bulk glassy alloys (BGAs) with high glass-forming ability (GFA) were synthesized in a Cu-Zr-Al-Ag system. As the compositions of Cu-Zr-Al-Ag alloys with lower Ag and Al content shifted to the Cu-rich range, the supercooled liquid region, reduced glass transition temperature, and γ value increased, leading to the improvement of GFA. The best GFA is located around Cu47Zr45Al5Ag3, which is close to eutectic. Fully glassy samples with diameters up to 15 mm were fabricated by copper mold casting. These Cu-based BGAs exhibit excellent mechanical properties under compression. A large Young's modulus of 104–111 GPa, high fracture strength of 1905–1942 MPa, and distinct plastic strain of 0.002–0.011 were obtained. Additionally, the BGAs also show good corrosion resistance in 1 N H2SO4 solution.

Mold Casting

New Cu-based bulk glassy alloys with large supercooled liquid regions and high mechanical strength were formed in Cu–Hf–Al ternary systems. The large supercooled liquid region exceeding 70 K was obtained in the composition range of 40 at.% Hf at 2.5% Al, 37.5–50% Hf at 5% Al, and 45% Hf at 7.5% Al. The largest supercooled liquid region ΔTx(= Tx – Tg) was 91 K for Cu50Hf45Al5 alloy, and the highest reduced glass-transition temperature was 0.63 for Cu50Hf42.5Al7.5 and Cu52.5Hf40Al7.5 alloys. The alloys with large ΔTx values above 50 K were formed into bulk glassy rods with diameters up to 3 mm by copper mold casting, and the glassy alloy rods exhibited high compressive fracture strength of 2260 to 2370 MPa and Young's modulus of 121 to 128 GPa combined with elastic elongation of 1.9% to 2.0% and plastic elongation of 0.2% to 0.6%. No bulk glassy alloys were formed in the Cu–Hf binary system by copper mold casting, and, hence, the addition of 2.5% to 7.5% Al to Cu–Hf alloys was very effective for increasing glass-forming ability as well as the stabilization of supercooled liquid. The effectiveness can be interpreted on the basis of the concept of the formation of a unique glassy structure in special multicomponent alloys with the three component rules.

Si Addition

We investigated the effects of addition elements (Sn, Al, Si, Ag, Fe, Cr) with a small amount on the glass-forming ability, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd glassy alloy system. The results revealed that minor Sn addition improved the glass-forming ability, thermal stability and plasticity, Si addition enlarged the supercooled liquid region, and Fe addition improved the plasticity, while minor additions of Si, Ag, Fe, and Cr lowered the glass-forming ability, and Al and Cr additions were harmful to the plasticity of the Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd glassy alloy system.

Corrosion Performance

This study investigated the structural heterogeneity, mechanical property, electrochemical behavior, and passive film characteristics of Fe–Cr–Mo–W–C–B–Y metallic glasses (MGs), which were modified through annealing at different temperatures. Results showed that annealing MGs below the glass transition temperature enhanced corrosion resistance in HCl solution owing to a highly protective passive film formed, originating from the decreased free volume and the shrinkage of the first coordination shell, which was found by pair distribution function analysis. In contrast, the enlarged first coordination shell and nanoscale crystal-like clusters were identified for MGs annealed in the supercooled liquid region, which led to a destabilized passive film and thereby deteriorated corrosion resistance. This finding reveals the crucial role of structural heterogeneity in tuning the corrosion performance of MGs.

Bulk glassy Zr55Al20–xCo25Nbx (x = 0 to 5 at.%) alloys with critical diameters of 2.5–5 mm and supercooled liquid region of 48–75 K were produced by copper-mold casting. These alloys were spontaneously passivated in 3 mass% NaCl and 1 N H2SO4 solutions. The addition of Nb to the alloy enhanced the pitting corrosion resistance in the NaCl solution and enabled the open-circuit potential in the H2SO4 solution. Zr- and Al-enriched passive films formed on the bulk glassy Zr–Al–Co–Nb alloys exposed to air and on those immersed in the solutions. The increase in Nb content of the alloys resulted in an increase in Zr and Nb concentrations and a decrease in Al concentration of the passive film. The Vickers hardness, Young's modulus, compressive fracture strength, fracture strain, and plastic strain of the bulk glassy Zr–Al–Co–Nb alloys were 550, 98 GPa, 2100 MPa, 2.9%, and 0.9%, respectively.

Glassy [(Fe0.8Co0.1Ni0.1)0.75B0.2Si0.05]96Nb4 alloy rods with glass transition temperature of 835 K, followed by a large supercooled liquid region of 55 K were produced in the diameter range up to 2 mm by copper mold casting. The glassy alloy rods exhibit super-high true fracture strength of 4225 MPa combined with elastic strain of 0.02 and true plastic strain of 0.005. The super-high strength alloy simultaneously exhibits high magnetization of 1.1 T, low coercivity of 3 A/m, and high permeability of 1.8 × 104 at 1 kHz. The success of synthesizing a super-high strength Fe-based bulk glassy alloy with some compressive plastic strain and good soft magnetic properties is encouraging for future development of Fe-based bulk glassy alloys as new engineering and functional materials.
