The thermodynamic and kinetic fragilities of two near-eutectic Mg-based bulk metallic glass (BMG)-forming liquids, Mg61Cu28Gd11 and Mg59.5Cu22.9Ag6.6Gd11, were investigated using high-precision differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The thermodynamic fragility denoted as F3/4 was determined by evaluating the temperature dependence of the excess entropy Sex. The heating rate dependence of the relaxation time at the glass transition temperature was investigated to measure the kinetic fragility. A positive correlation between the thermodynamic and kinetic fragilities could be established in Mg-based BMG-forming liquids on the basis of Adam-Gibbs equation in contrast to a number of other BMGs.

We report a new Mg-based bulk metallic glass-forming alloy: Mg65Cu7.5Ni7.5Zn5 Ag5Y10. The alloy exhibits a glass-forming ability significantly stronger than all previously discovered Mg-based glass formers. Fully glassy rods 9 mm in diameter can be obtained by using copper mold casting. The critical cooling rate for glass formation was estimated to be <50 Ks−1. The reduced glass-transition temperature (Trg) of the glass was determined to be 0.59.

The stress relaxation results below the glass-transition temperatureTgare a continuation of the viscoelastic relaxation aboveTg. This means that the dynamic glass transition and not a secondary relaxation is the reason for the observed effects.

ABSTRACTA new method is developed to directly exhibit glass transition in Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be bulk glass-forming alloy under high pressure in metallic glass. Via the method, we derive an increase of glass transition temperature, Tg with pressure of 5.6 K/GPa, and a formation volume (ΔVf) of 6.5 Å3 for diffusion and the migration volume (ΔVm) of 6.5 Å3. The glass transition under high pressure is simulated based on the free-volume theory, and the simulations are consistent with the experimental observations.

Structural relaxation and nanomechanical behaviors of La65Al14Ni5Co5Cu9.2Ag1.8 bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a low glass transition temperature during annealing have been investigated by calorimetry and nanoindentation measurement. The enthalpy release of this metallic glass is deduced by annealing near glass transition. When annealed below glass transition temperature for 5 min, the recovered enthalpy increases with annealing temperature and reaches the maximum value at 403 K. After annealed in supercooled liquid region, the recovered enthalpy obviously decreases. For a given annealing at 393 K, the relaxation behaviors of La-based BMG can be well described by the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) function. The hardness, Young’s modulus, and serrated flow are sensitive to structural relaxation of this metallic glass, which can be well explained by the theory of solid-like region and liquid-like region. The decrease of ductility and the enhancement of homogeneity can be ascribed to the transformation from liquid-like region into solid-like region and the reduction of the shear transition zone (STZ).

The diffusion coefficient in the metallic glass-forming systems such as Pd-Cu-Ni-P exhibits a marked deviation from the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation in the proximity of the glass transition temperature. Such a deviation is characterized by the fractional exponent p of the modified SE expression. For the material Pd43Cu27Ni10P20, it has been reported that it takes the value p = 0.75. In this work, it is shown that the value of p is highly correlated with the ratio ED / ENB, where ED and ENB are the activation energies for diffusion coefficient D and cooperativity NB defined by the Bond Strength-Coordination Number Fluctuation (BSCNF) model. The present paper reports that for the metallic glass-forming melt Pd43Cu27Ni10P20, the fractional exponent p can be calculated accurately within the framework of the BSCNF model.

The stability of Zr41Ti14Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) upon isothermal annealing near the glass transition temperature has been investigated by using x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and the pulse echo overlap method. The density, elastic constants, and thermodynamic parameters as well as their annealing time dependence have been determined. The microstructural and properties changes of the annealed BMG were checked by acoustic measurement. Obvious structural and property changes were observed with prolonged annealing of the BMG near the glass transition temperature.
