The oxidation behavior of Y56Al24Co20 bulk metallic glass containing ~4.2% Y-rich particles was studied over the temperature range of 325-450oC in dry air. The results showed that the oxidation kinetics of the alloy followed the parabolic rate law at T≤375oC, with rate constants generally increased with temperature. Conversely, para-linear kinetics were observed at higher temperatures (T≥400oC). The scales formed on the Y-base amorphous composite were temperature dependent, consisting of exclusively yttrium oxides (Y2O3) at T≤375oC and of mostly Y2O3 and alumina (Al2O3) at temperatures. No evidence of any cobalt-containing oxide was found in the scale.

The isothermal oxidation behavior of Zr58Nb3Cu16Ni13Al10 bulk metallic glass (BMG) under dry air in the glassy state and the supercooled liquid state (SLS) was studied by the thermogravimetric method. The oxidation rate and thickness growth speed in the SLS were both hugely higher than in the glassy state. The oxidation kinetics of BMG in both states for 1.5 hours was different, the parabolic law was followed in the glassy state at 300°C and 350°C, contrarily the linear law was followed in SLS at 400 °C. After the oxidation for 126 hours in SLS, the oxidation kinetics possessed two stages, the linear stage and the parabolic stage. The diffusion of the Cu2+ ion and CuZr intermetallic alloys were detected by GIXRD.

AbstractThe compression behavior of Zr15Al5Ni57Y23bulk metallic glass is investigated at room temperature usingin-situhigh pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction with a synchrotron radiation source. The structural information of the atomic configuration about Zr15Al5Ni57Y23bulk amorphous alloy such as coordination number (CN), neighbor atomic distance is gained by Fourier transformation under different pressure. The investigation shows that the structure of Zr15Al5Ni57Y23bulk metallic glass is stable under the pressure ranging from zero to 31.7 GPa, but the degree of short-range order changes by the pressure altering the second and the third nearest neighbor local atomic configuration of the amorphous alloy.

The isothermal initial oxidation kinetics of Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk metallic glass in glassy state (lower than Tg = 685K) and in surpercooled liquid state (Tg = 685 K < T < Tx=774 K) is investigated under dry air by thermogravimetric method in short-term stage (for 1.5 hours). A protective parabolic law is followed in glassy state, except at 573 K where a linear law is followed. The self-limiting oxidation kinetics evolves from a short linear stage to a steady mild growth stage in supercooled liquid state at 723 K, which is induced mainly by crystallization and by the fast growth of dense scale. The growth of the scale is dominated by the formation of tetragonal-ZrO2 (t- ZrO2) in the range of 623 K - 673 K in glassy state for 1.5 hours. The activation energy of oxidation is mainly piloted by the diffusion of oxygen ions.

The oxidation kinetics of Cu60Zr30Ti10 bulk metallic glass and its crystalline counterpart were studied in oxygen environment over the temperature range of 573–773 K. The oxidation kinetics, measured with thermogravimetric analysis, of the metallic glass follows a linear rate law between 573 and 653 K and a parabolic rate law between 673 and 733 K. It was also found that the oxidation activation energy of metallic glass is lower than that of its crystalline counterpart. The x-ray diffraction pattern showed that the oxide layer is composed of Cu2O, CuO, ZrO2, and metallic Cu. Cu enrichment on the topmost oxide layer of the metallic glass oxidized at 573 K was revealed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy while there was a decrease in Cu content in the innermost oxide layer. The oxide surface morphologies observed from scanning electron microscopy showed that ZrO2 granules formed at low temperatures while whiskerlike copper oxides formed at higher temperatures.
