To synthesize a crystalline-glass composite in a Cu-based bulk metallic glass, the monotectic reaction was used. The (Zr-Sn-Pb)-rich crystalline phase was found to coexist with the (Cu-Ti-Ni)-rich glassy phase during the process of quenching from the melt in the (Cu47Ti33Zr11Ni6Sn2Si1)100-x+Pbx=1,2 system. Microstructures consisting of uniformly dispersed crystalline particles in the amorphous matrix were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Compressive tests demonstrated that the fracture strain of the sample with a Pb content of 1 at% was three times higher than that of the sample with no Pb.

Gold based bulk metallic glass was synthesized at with different quenching rates. Au54Ag5Pd2Cu24.3Si14.7 alloy ingots were cast into wedge shape and cone shape samples. The critical casting thickness of this alloy composition was found to be 4 mm when cast in copper mold. Completely amorphous structure as found in sections thinner than 4 mm when considering a infinite copper plate geometry. In locations with slower cooling rates, there are small fractions of transformed nanocrystals. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) study of Au54Ag5Pd2Cu24.3Si14.7 solidified microstructure could offer snap shots of nucleation and growth of crystals from nanometer to micrometer length-scale as evolved with different cooling rates. The phase evolution was recorded by transmission electron microscope study, electron diffraction and metallography using scanning electron microscope. The specimens comprised of both fully amorphous solid and nanocomposites which were the combination of nano-crystals of controlled sizes in amorphous matrix. Vickers hardness values increased to 350-450 Hv, when compared to sub 100-150 Hv level of conventional 18-k gold alloys as cast. The study offers a revolutionary way to create ultrahigh strength bulk metals that comprise of large percentage of nano-crystals in amorphous matrix.

A new Pd79Au1.5Ag3Si16.5 bulk metallic glass was successfully synthesized in a maximum casting thickness range to 3 mm. Upon heating, the single glassy phase decomposed into Pd-rich crystalline phases and a Si-rich amorphous phase due to solute partitioning. In addition to high thermal stability, this bulk glassy alloy also exhibited a high degree of ductility and excellent corrosion resistance, showing potential applications as biomaterials.

Nanoscale dimples and periodic corrugations are observed on the fracture surface of Zr-based bulk metallic glass composite (BMGC). The nanoscale periodic corrugations display a curved shape, which is different from that observed in previous works. In addition, the crystallization behavior of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text] BMG was investigated. The second crystallization event of Zr-Cu-Ni-Al BMG can be controlled by annealing or tuning cooling rate. The in situ Zr-based BMGC was prepared via lowering cooling rate. The Zr-based BMGC displays completely brittleness.
