Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with 5 mm in diameter were synthesized by copper mold casting. The effects of tin (Sn) addition on glass-forming ability (GFA), thermal stability of BMGs were investigated. It was found the addition of 4 at. % Sn is effective for an increase in GFA. The crystallization behaviors of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses during continuous heating are investigated mainly by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC).The results show that the characteristic temperatures(Tg,Tx and Tp) shifted to high temperature region with increasing of heating rates. The activation energies Eg, Ex and Ep, corresponding to characteristic temperatures Tg, Tx, and Tp, respectively, were obtained from Kissinger and Ozawa equations. The calculated activation energies agree well with Kissinger or Ozawa equations due to the almost invariability of the crystallization volume fraction at the characteristic temperatures for different heating rates.

AbstractTwo Zr-base bulk metallic glasses were investigated in the present work. DSC experiments were performed at different heating rates (dT/dt). Evolution of the characteristic temperatures, glass transition and onset of crystallisation, were determined as a function of dT/dt. Evolution of shear elastic modulus and internal friction are measured as a function of temperature and resulting microstructural evolution; these evolutions are related to variation of the atomic mobility.

We have investigated the compression stress–strain behaviors of Ti40Zr25Cu12Ni3Be20 bulk metallic glasses prepared by Cu mold casting from various melt temperatures. Plastic strain was found to vary sensitively on the temperature of melts and subsequent annealing conditions. To understand the origin of the plasticity change, the microstructures were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and a laser-assisted three-dimensional atom probe. The fully amorphous sample cast from 1273 K showed 0.6% plastic strain, and it was enhanced to 1.3% after isothermal annealing at 573 K. The sample cast from 1423 K showed 3.0% plastic strain, from which the presence of nanocrystals with a volume fraction of about 12% was confirmed. The sample cast from a higher temperature (1573 K) contained a larger fraction of crystals, which showed limited plastic strain. The effect of the volume fraction of the nanocrystals on the plasticity of bulk metallic glasses is discussed based on the experimental results.

In this research, the effect of Ta addition on the formation, thermal stability and corrosion behavior of Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd bulk metallic glasses were investigated. The results revealed with minor addition of Ta, higher corrosion resistance and compressive strength as well as large plastic deformation were achieved. Minor addition Ta is effective for the formation of more protectively passive film during the process of anodic polarization. In addition, proper volume fraction nanoparticle with small size is responsible for the large plastic deformation of the as-cast Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with 1% Ta addition.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with high thermal stability and good corrosion resistance were synthesized in the (Cu0.6Hf0.25Ti0.15)100−x−yNiyNbx system by copper mold casting. The addition of Ni element causes an extension of a supercooled liquid region (ΔTx = Tx – Tg) from 60 K for Cu60Hf25Ti15 to 70 K for (Cu0.6Hf0.25Ti0.15)95Ni5. The simultaneous addition of Ni and Nb to the alloy is effective in improving synergistically the corrosion resistance in 1 N HCl, 3 mass% NaCl, and 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl solutions. The highly protective Hf-, Ti-, and Nb-enriched surface film is formed by the rapid initial preferential dissolution of Cu and Ni, which is responsible for the high corrosion resistance of the alloys in the solutions examined.

The crystallization kinetics of amorphous alloy Mg65Cu15Ag10Y10has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry in the mode of continuous heating annealing. It is found that both DSC curves and activation energy show a strong dependence on the heating rate. The activation energy for crystallization are determined as 186.1 and 184.4 KJ mol−1for the heating rates β=5-20 Kmin−1, and 107.5 and 110.0 KJmol−1for the heating rates β=20-80Kmin−1, when using the Kissinger equation and the Ozawa equation, respectively. Local activation energy at any volume fraction crystallized was obtained by the general Ozawa's isoconversional method. The average value of local activation energy for heating rates ranging from 5 to 20Kmin−1is 180.9 KJ mol−1and for heating rates ranging between 20 and 80Kmin−1is 110.2 KJ mol−1. Using the Suriñach curve fitting procedure, the kinetics mode was specified. The JMA kinetics is manifested as a rule in the early stages of the crystallization. The JMA exponent,n, initially being larger than 4 and continuously decreases to about 2 along with the development of crystallization. The NGG-like mode dominates in the advanced stages of the transformation. These two modes are mutually independent. The proportion between the JMA-like and the NGG-like modes is related to the heating rate.

Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with minor addition of Ag, Au or Pt elements were prepared by copper mold casting. The Microstructure of the as-cast samples was examined by TEM. Nanoparticles identified as cubic Pd3Ti with crystal planes of (111), (200), (220) and (311) are observed in all the alloys modified by the minor addition of Ag, Au or Pt. The results revealed that the glassy/nanoparticle composited alloys exhibited high strength about 2000 MPa and plastic strain between 1.5-10% due to the inhibition of propagation of shear band.
