The effect of Co substitution for Be on the glass-forming ability and mechanical properties was investigated in Ti35Zr30Be27.5-xCu7.5Cox (x=0, 3.5, 7.5, 11.5 at.%) alloys by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and compression test. With the substitution of Co for Be, glass-forming ability (GFA) is significantly enhanced and fully amorphous rods with a diameter of up to 12 mm were produced in the alloy with 3.5 and 7.5 at.% Co. The Ti35Zr30Be24Cu7.5Co3.5 bulk glassy alloy exhibits good plasticity of 4% during compressive applied load at ambient temperature in conjunction with distinct yield strain of 2% and high fracture strength of 2196 MPa. The effect of the addition of Co on the structure and deformation behavior of the Ti35Zr30Be27.5-xCu7.5Cox (x=0, 3.5, 7.5, 11.5 at.%) alloys is discussed.

The addition of Ag to Cu–Zr alloys is very effective for the increase in the stability of supercooled liquid as well as the glass-forming ability (GFA). The large supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) exceeding 60 K in Cu–Zr–Ag ternary system was obtained in a wide range of 25–55 at.% Cu, 40–65 at.% Zr, and 5–25 at.% Ag. The best GFA was obtained around Cu45Zr45Ag10, and glassy alloy rods with diameters up to 6.0 mm were formed by copper mold casting. The bulk glassy alloys exhibit good mechanical properties, i.e., compressive fracture strength of 1780–1940 MPa, Young's modulus of 106–112 GPa, compressive plastic elongation of 0.2–2.9%, and Vickers hardness of 534–599. The finding of the new Cu–Zr–Ag ternary glassy alloy system with high GFA and good mechanical properties is important for development and scientific studies of bulk glassy alloys.

The effect of zirconium (Zr) addition on the glass-forming ability (GFA) and mechanical properties of the Ni61.5Nb38.5 alloy has been studied. The addition of Zr improves the GFA. When x = 5 for Ni61.5Nb38.5−xZrx (in at.%) alloys, the alloy exhibits the best GFA and can be cast into 3-mm-diameter amorphous samples by using the copper mold injection-casting method. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements indicated that the thermal parameters, such as Trg and γ, have not a good correlation with the GFA in the Ni–Nb–Zr alloys. Compression tests reveal that the addition of Zr just decreases the fracture strength slightly from 3.4 to 3 GPa and that all of the tested samples exhibit a little compressive plasticity of about 2%. When x = 9, the feature of the fracture surface indicates that the alloy has a tendency for transition from the ductile to the brittle. And delicate “dimple” and microscale vein pattern structures have been observed on it.

Ti -based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have great potential for use as structural materials due to their excellent mechanical properties. How to fabricate Ti -based metallic glasses with sufficient large size has always been the key issue in both the theoretic and technology aspects since finding the BMG. In this paper, we try to fabricate Ti -based metallic glasses with high glass-forming ability (GFA) through composition design based on various empirical ideas. BMG alloy with composition of Ti 43.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.75 Ni 5.76 was synthesized based on the deep eutectic idea, and the critical diameter of this glassy alloy reaches to 2 mm. The GFA of this alloy was further improved by small addition of Si (0.5-1 at %). BMG rods with diameters up to 3mm were synthesized for compositions of Ti 42.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.75 Ni 5.76 Si 1, Ti 43.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.25 Ni 5.76 Si 0.5 and Ti 43.89 Cu 43.60 Zr 6.75 Ni 4.76 Si 1. The amorphous structure of all the samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The thermal stability associated with glass transition, supercooled liquid region and crystallization was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Possible mechanisms for the improvement of GFA were discussed.

The Al70Fe12.5V12.5Ni5, Al70Fe12.5V12.5Zr5 and Al70Fe12.5V12.5Nb5 alloys were prepared via mechanical alloying. The influence of Zr, Nb or Ni addition on the glass-forming ability of Al-Fe-V amorphous alloys have been investigated. The structure of Al70Fe12.5V12.5Ni5 was amorphous and Al70Fe12.5V12.5Zr5 was not completely amorphous by transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Different criteria were used to evaluate the influence of the addition of alloy elements on the Glass-forming ability. The Al70Fe12.5V12.5Ni5 amorphous alloys exhibits higher glass-forming ability and activation energies of crystallization. Comparison of the effective atomic size ratio and mixture enthalpy on the glass-forming ability of these amorphous alloys demonstrates that the effective atomic size ratio value becomes more significant than the values of mixture enthalpy.

Nd 55 Al 20 Fe 25 bulk sample was prepared in the shape of rods 3 mm in diameter by suction casting. The sample exhibits typical amorphous characters in XRD pattern, distinct glass transition in DSC traces and hard magnetic properties. The distinct glass transition, which is invisible in DSC traces of previously reported Nd — Al — Fe ternary BMGs, allows us to investigate the glass forming ability (GFA) of Nd 55 Al 20 Fe 25 alloy using the reduced glass transition temperature Trg and the recently defined parameter γ. However, it is found that the obtained diameter of the Nd 55 Al 20 Fe 25 glassy rod is much larger than the critical section thickness of the BMG predicted by either Trg or γ. The microstructure of Nd 55 Al 20 Fe 25 as-cast rod was studied and the apparent GFA of the alloy was supposed to be enhanced by the metastable nano-precipitates dispersed within the glassy matrix.

Bulk metallic glasses have interesting mechanical properties, such as high strength up to 5 GPa, high elastic strain and many other additional desirable properties. However, BMGs beyond the elastic region fail catastrophically on one dominant shear band and show little macroscopic plasticity in an apparently brittle manner. Nano-crystallized BMGs have been found to possess better ductility comparing with brittle parent BMGs. Annealing treatment of glassy alloys is a useful method to prepare bulk nano-crystalline alloys. In the present study, the crystallization trend of the FeCoCrMoCBY alloy which is claimed to have the best glass forming ability was studied in various times in temperature ranges of a) between Tg (glassy temp.) and Tx1 (first crystallization temp.), and b) between Tx1 and Tx2 (second crystallization temp.). The influences of different annealing time and temperatures on the microstructure and microhardness of Fe41Co7Cr15Mo14Y2C15B6BMG are reported in this paper.
