The thermal properties of a Pd40Ni40Si20 glassy alloy with the largest supercooled liquid region among the glassy alloys containing Si as a metalloid element are studied using static and dynamic measurement methods. The relatively wide supercooled liquid region of 45 K, defined by the temperature interval between the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the onset temperature of crystallization (Tx), and the viscosity of the supercooled liquid, varying from 2.7 × 1010 to 3.2 × 1011 Pa·s, make this glass suitable for the introduction of controlled pores by a viscous flow in the temperature range Tg~Tx. The obtained activation energy for crystallization, 272 ± 19 kJ/mol, is slightly higher than that of Tg (228 ± 11 kJ/mol), indicating the dominant contribution of the atomic transport barrier in the overall energy barrier for crystallization.

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.

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.

High-strength Cu-based bulk glassy alloys with a large supercooled liquid region in Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni systems were prepared by means of copper mold casting. The Cu-based bulk glassy alloys samples were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Instron testing machine. The result indicates, the maximum diameter was 5.0 mm for the Cu55Zr25Ti15Ni5 bulk glassy alloy. The temperature interval of supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) is as large as 45.48-70.98 K for the Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni alloy. The Cu-based glassy alloys rods exhibited the very high mechanical properties and the distinct plastic strains. The compressive fracture strength is 2155 MPa, 2026 MPa and 1904 MPa respectively for Cu50Zr25Ti15Ni10, Cu55Zr25Ti15Ni5 and Cu54Zr22Ti18Ni6 bulk glassy alloys. The Vickers hardness is respectively 674, 678 and 685 for the Cu50Zr25Ti15Ni10, Cu55Zr25Ti15Ni5 and Cu54Zr22Ti18Ni6 bulk glassy alloys. The addition Co element to Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni alloy expand the ΔTx, the ΔTx is 74.5 K for Cu50Zr22Ti18Ni6Co4 bulk glassy alloys.

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.

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.

The addition of Ti and Zr to Ni-Ta binary alloys is effective for the increase in stabilization of supercooled liquid and glass-forming ability (GFA). As the Ti content increases, the supercooled liquid region Tx and reduced glass transition temperature (Tg/Tl) of Ni60Ta40-xTix glassy alloys increase, show maximum values of 63 K at 20 at.%Ti and 0.589 at 25 at.%Ti, respectively, and then gradually decrease. The addition of 5 at.% Zr to Ni-Ta-Ti alloys lowers liquidus temperature (Tl), resulting in the higher Tg/Tl values of 0.600. The best GFA were obtained for Ni60Ta15Ti20Zr5 and Ni60Ta20Ti15Zr5 alloys and the glassy alloy samples with a diameter of 1.0 mm were fabricated. The new Ni-Ta-based bulk glassy alloys exhibit high Tg of ~897 K, large ΔTx of ~74 K, high strength of over 3180 MPa with plastic strains of ~0.4% and excellent corrosion resistance in 1 N HCl solution.

A new kind of composite with a bi -continuous structure was produced by pressure infiltrating melt Zr 41.2 Ti 13.8 Cu 12.5 Ni 10 Be 22.5 into porous SiC which was made by powder metallurgy. Microstructure investigations of the composite show that the melt alloy was fully infiltrated into the voids of porous SiC and quenched into amorphous state. Both the amorphous alloy and the porous SiC exhibit a three-dimensional interconnected net structure. The study of thermal properties reveals that the addition of porous SiC reduces the width of supercooled liquid region of the composite. The bi -continuous composite presents 2% plastic strain and ultimate strength of 1250MPa.

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.
