Ti-based metallic glasses (MGs) possess high specific strength, low elastic modulus, high elasticity, high wear and corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility, which make them highly attractive as lightweight high-strength materials as well as biomaterials. However, the glass forming ability (GFA) of Ti-based MGs, particularly those bearing no toxic, noble, or heavy metals, that is, Be, Pd, or Cu alike, largely sets back their wide applications for the restricted critical glass forming size of these Ti-based MGs. In this review, the outlines in developing Ti-based MGs are delineated in order to provide an overall view on the efforts ever made to fabricate bulk size Ti-based MGs. The state of the art in the knowledge on the GFA of Ti-based MGs is briefly introduced, and possible directions for fabricating bulk size toxic and noble element free Ti-based MGs are discussed.

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.

Recently, Ti-based metallic glasses aim at biomaterials with their high specific strength and superior corrosion resistance. Their high workability also shows a good performance for mass production under the energy saving environment. In this study, we started investigation of the design of Ti-based metallic glasses with the restricted alloying elements for biocompatibility and characteristic evaluation of the optimized Ti-based metallic glasses with higher glass forming ability for dental implants. These Ti-based metallic glasses do not contain Al, V and Ni elements which are well known to be neurotoxicity and cytotoxicity for human body. Current medical reports of impracticability by these elements have been a hot issue in biomaterials science. Newly designed Ti-based metallic glasses exhibit good performances. Especially, the optimized Ti-based metallic glass has high corrosion resistance with better passivity in a wide passivation range in simulated body fluids at 310K. In addition, biocompatibility of Ti-based metallic glass was also evaluated by cell culture in vitro. Excellent biocompatibility of Ti-based metallic glass show high potentials to be applied as biomaterials that necrosis of osteoblast (SaOS2) was not detected in this study.

In this work, we report a new Mg-based glass-forming system of Mg–Ni–(Gd,Nd), which can be produced into glassy rods with maximum diameters of 2–5 mm by copper mold casting. The Mg75Ni15Gd10–xNdx(x = 0–10) BMGs simultaneously possess a high level of glass transition temperatures, high specific strength up to 2.75 × 105 Nm/kg, and enhanced malleability with plastic strains over 1%. In particular, the Mg75Ni15Gd5Nd5 BMG with the glass-forming ability (GFA) up to 5 mm, exhibited compressive yield strength over 900 MPa and plastic strain up to 50% without failure for the specimen with an aspect ratio of 0.5. The improved GFA and malleability for the Mg75Ni15Gd10–x Ndx(x = 0–10) BMGs were discussed, which exhibited their promising potentials for the application as lightweight engineering materials.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have exceptional biomechanical characteristics like low elastic modulus, outstanding fracture strength, superior wear and corrosion resistance compared to routinely used biomaterials. The major downside of BMG is its inability to osteointegrate to the surrounding living tissues. To solve this problem, a biocompatible and bone-like nanoporous layer are normally imparted on the implant surface. In this study, a very hard, biocompatible and nano-porous layer was deposited on the Zr-based metallic glass surface, by hydroxyapatite mixed electrical discharge machining (HA-EDM). FESEM was employed to observe the pore distribution, geometry, and sizes. The result reveals the formation of rough, narrow craters and interconnected nanoporosities in the range of 558.2 nm to 893 nm in diameter and surface area of 244764 nm2 to 626596 nm2. However, the XRD and EDX characterization revealed the deposition of ZrC, TiC and CaTiO3 on the HA-EDMed surface. The surface produced by HA-EDM is expected to facilitate higher tissue in-growth and bone-implant adhesion.

Zur Ausnutzung der hohen spezifischen Festigkeit und folglich Eignung als Leichtbauwerkstoff von EN AW-7075 bedarf es neben den Umform- auch Wärmebehandlungsprozessen, die im Folgenden in den Umformprozess integriert werden und die Prozesskette somit deutlich kürzer und effizienter gestalten. Dieser Fachbeitrag zeigt, welches Produktivitäts- und Leichtbaupotenzial durch eine Inline-Wärmebehandlung erschlossen werden kann.   To be able to exploit the high specific strength and thus suitability of EN AW-7075 as a lightweight construction material, it requires not only forming but also heat treatment processes. The latter become integrated into the forming process and thus make the process chain significantly shorter and more efficient. This paper points out the potential for productivity and lightweight construction to be tapped by inline heat treatment.

Mg-based metallic glasses (MGs) are widely studied due to their high elasticity and high strength originating from their amorphous nature. However, their further application in many potential fields is limited by poor corrosion resistance. In order to improve this property, an MgO nanoplate array layer is first constructed on the surface of Mg-based MGs by cyclic voltammetry (CV) treatments. In this situation, the corrosion resistance and hydrophilicity of the material are enhanced. Then, stearic acid (SA) can effectively adhere onto the surface of the MgO layer to form a superficial hydrophobic film with a water contact angle (WCA) of 131°. As a result, the SA coated MgO hydrophobic film improves the corrosion resistance of Mg-based MGs in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution obviously. In addition, the effects of four technological parameters (solution concentration, sweep rate, cycle number, and reaction temperature) in the CV process on the morphology and size of nano-products are investigated in detail. The work proposes a new method for the creation of nanostructures on the surface of materials and provides a new idea to increase the corrosion resistance of MGs. The related method is expected to be applied in wider fields in future.

Bamboo is a kind of green material with high specific strength, while the hollow tubular structure makes it rather hard to be utilized in structure. Glue and hot-pressing processes make laminated bamboo lumber rectangular cross section and with high strength properties. The dowel-type connection can be used in I-joist instead of the costly adhesive, while the behaviors of which are extremely complicated. European yield model is confirmed to be an effective method to estimate loading capacity of connection and is adopted by various standard and design codes. This article focused on a kind of connection innovatively with laminated bamboo lumber dowel. The embedment tests were carried out to study the embedment strength of laminated bamboo lumber members. Connection tests under lateral load were conducted to investigate the performance and loading capacity. Finally, theoretical results determined by design rules in current codes were compared with experimental results

The microstructure and mechanical properties of rapidly solidified β-type Ti–Fe–Sn–Mo alloys with high specific strength and low elastic modulus were investigated. The results show that the phases of Ti–Fe–Sn–Mo alloys are composed of the β-Ti, α-Ti, and TiFe phases; the volume fraction of TiFe phase decreases with the increase of Mo content. The high Fe content results in the deposition of TiFe phase along the grain boundary of the Ti phase. The Ti75Fe19Sn5Mo1 alloy exhibits the high yield strength, maximum compressive strength, large plastic deformation, high specific strength, high Vickers hardness, and large toughness value, which is a superior new engineering material. The elastic modulus (42.1 GPa) of Ti75Fe15Sn5Mo5 alloy is very close to the elastic modulus of human bone (10–30 GPa), which indicating that the alloy can be used as a good biomedical alloy. In addition, the large H/Er and H3/Er2 values of Ti75Fe19Sn5Mo1 alloy indicate the good wear resistance and long service life as biomedical materials.
