AbstractNew Ni-based bulk amorphous alloys in the alloy system Ni-Zr-Ti-X (X=Al, Si, P) and Ni-Zr- Ti-Si-Y (Y=Sn, Mo, Y) were developed through systematic alloy design based upon the empirical rules for high glass forming ability (GFA). Additions of a small amount of Si and/or Sn to a ternary Ni-Ti-Zr alloy are very effective to increase GFA as well as the undercooled liquid region (ΔTX). Changes in crystallization mode during continuous heating of amorphous phase and lowered liquidus temperature by quaternary and quinary additions are associated with the enhanced GFA and the enlarged ΔTx. Development of new Ni-based amorphous alloys with high GFA and large ΔTx expands structural application of amorphous alloys.

New Ni-based bulk amorphous alloys in the alloy system Ni–Ti–Zr–(Si,Sn) were developed through systematic alloy design based upon the empirical rules for high glass forming alloys. Small additions of Si and/or Sn significantly improved the glass forming ability (GFA) of the alloys Ni57Ti23−xZr20 (Si,Sn)x leading to a Ni-based bulk amorphous alloy. The amorphous ribbons of the alloys Ni57Ti23−xZr20 (Si,Sn)x exhibited very high glass transition temperatures (Tg > 823 K), crystallization temperatures (Tx > 883 K), and large undercooled liquid regions (δTx > 50 K) implying the high GFA of the alloys. Fully amorphous rods with the diameter of up to 2 mm can be fabricated by a copper mold casting method. Development of the new Ni-based bulk amorphous alloys having high Tg,Tx, and δTx expands the practical applications of amorphous alloys as structural materials.

The effects of partial replacements of Zr by Y in the alloy Ni60Zr25-xAl8Yx(x=0 and 7 at %) on the crystallization behaviors of amorphous alloys were studied using isothermally heattreated ribbons. With the partial replacement, the supercooled liquid region upon continuous heating was significantly extended indicating that crystallization can be effectively suppressed by the optimum amount of Zr replacement by Y. The first phase appeared during crystallization was identified as the ternary compound AlNi2Zr while the single exothermic event could be observed upon heating the amorphous ribbons. The AlNi2Zr phase was decomposed into binary compounds upon further heating. Therefore, the extended supercooled liquid region of the alloy Ni60Zr25Al8Y7was attributed to the suppression of AlNi2Zr phase formation by the partial replacement of Zr by Y. The effects of Y on the crystallization behaviors were discussed on the basis of atomic configuration of the supercooled liquid.

To verify the effect of composition on the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Cu-based alloys, properties have been collected from the literature (~100 papers, more than 200 alloys). Surveying the BGFA criteria published so far, it has been found that the atomic mismatch condition of Egami-Waseda is fulfilled for all the Cu-based BGFAs, the value being above 0,3. The Zhang Bangwei criterion could be applied for the binary Cu-based alloys. The Miracle and Senkov criteria do not necessarily apply for Cu based bulk amorphous alloys. The critical thickness versus plot of Lu and Liu extrapolates to , somewhat higher than the 0.33 value found in other BGFA alloys. The Park and Kim parameter correlates rather poorly with the critical thickness for Cu based alloys. The Cheney and Vecchino parameter is a good indicator to find the best glass former if it is possible to calculate the exact liquids projection. In 2009 Xiu-lin and Pan defined a new parameter which correlates a bit better with the critical thickness. Based on this survey it is still very difficult to find one parameter in order to characterize the real GFA without an unrealized mechanism of crystallization.

In this study, the formation and crystallization of the Al70Fe12.5V12.5Nb5 amorphous alloys has been investigated. The addition of Nb enhances the supercooled liquid region and glass forming ability of the Al-Fe-V amorphous alloys. The Al70Fe12.5V12.5Nb5 amorphous alloy exhibits two distinct crystallization steps and a large supercooled liquid region at more than 100 K. Kissinger and Ozawa analyses showed that the two activation energies for crystallization (Ex) were estimated to be 366.3 ± 23.9 and 380.5 ± 23.9 kJ/mol. Large supercooled liquid regions are expected to gain an application field of Al-based amorphous alloys.

The glass forming ability and magnetic properties were investigated for adding neodymium to the Fe71-xNb4B25Ndx (x=0, 3, 5, 7,10) alloys prepared by copper suction casting. It was found that proper neodymium (x=5~10 at.%) could improve glass forming ability of Fe-Nb-B alloys effectively. Bulk amorphous Fe66Nd5B25Nb4 and Fe64Nd7B25Nb4 samples were obtained and presented high thermal stability and good soft magnetic properties. The value of activation energy of the first crystallization peak for the bulk amorphous alloy Fe64Nd7B25Nb4 is 683 kJ/mol.

The development of Mg–Ca–Zn metallic glasses with improved bulk glass forming ability, high strength, and significant ductility is reported. A typical size of at least 3–4 mm amorphous samples can be prepared using conventional casting techniques. By varying the composition, the mass density of these light metal based bulk amorphous alloys ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 g/cm3. The typical measured microhardness is 2.16 GPa, corresponding to a fracture strength of about 700 MPa and specific strength of around 250–300 MPa cm3/g. Unlike other Mg- or Ca-based metallic glasses, the present Mg–Ca–Zn amorphous alloys show significant ductility.

Several new bulk metallic glasses based on Fe–Y–Zr–(Co, Cr, Al)–Mo–B, which have a glass-forming ability superior to the best composition Fe61Zr10Co7Mo5W2B15 reported recently, have been successfully developed. The as-cast bulk amorphous alloys showed a distinctly high thermal stability with glass-transition temperatures above 900 K, supercooled liquid regions above 60 K, and high strength with Vickers hardness values larger than HV 1200. The suppression of the growth of primary phases in the molten liquids and the resultant low liquidus temperatures were found to be responsible for the superior glass-forming ability in these new alloys. It was found that the addition of 2% Y not only facilitated bulk glass formation, but the neutralizing effect of Y with oxygen in the molten liquids also improved the manufacturability of these amorphous alloys.
