Laser welding of Zr41Ti14Cu12Ni10Be23 bulk metallic glass and zirconium metal

The laser bonding technology between the Zr41 Ti14 Cu12 Ni10 Be23 bulk metallic glass and zirconium metal was investigated under welding parameters of 1.3 kW and 7 m/min. The welded bead, microstructure, and micro-hardness of the welded joint were examined by Keyence, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Vickers hardness, respectively. The experimental results showed that the Zr41 Ti14 Cu12 Ni10 Be2 bulk metallic glass and zirconium metal were successfully bonded together. The Zr41 Ti14 Cu12 Ni10 Be2 in the base material zone maintained amorphous structure, and the welding fusion zone kept the hardness as high as as-received BMG. Therefore, the laser welding technology can be used to achieve successful bonding of bulk metallic glasses and crystallization metal.

Formation and corrosion properties of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) formation was explored in the Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy system though combined use of the atomic cluster line approach and the minor alloying strategy. The basic ternary compositions in the Fe-B-Si system were determined by the intersection points of two cluster lines, namely, Fe-B cluster to Si and Fe-Si cluster to B. 3at%-4at% Nb was added to the quaternary Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy. The casting experiments revealed that good glass-forming ability (GFA) occurred at the (Fe73.4Si8.2B18.4)96Nb4 composition, and 3-mm diameter BMG samples were made. The glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tx, and supercooled liquid region (△Tx=Tx-Tg) of this BMG were measured to be 866, 889, and 23 K, respectively. The BMG shows a high Vickers hardness of about Hv 1164, a Young's modulus of 180 GPa, and a good corrosion resistance in the solutions of 1 mol/L HCl and 3 wt% NaCl.     

Effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of FeCoZrWB bulk metallic glass

A Fe61Co10Zr5W4B20 bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a diameter of 2 mm was prepared by using copper mould suction casting. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), micro-hardness and compression tests were adopted to investigate the structure, thermal stability, especially, the effect of heat treatment on the micro-hardness and compression strength of this BMG. The BMG exhibits micro-hardness of about 1 207 Hv and compression fracture strength of about 1 707.6 MPa. After being annealed below the onset of crystallization temperature, the micro-hardness almost keeps constant. But after being annealed above the peak of crystallization temperature, the micro-hardness increases firstly and then declines gradually with the elongation of annealing time. However, annealed for the same period of time, the micro-hardness will increase with the rise of annealing temperature, while the compression fracture strength will apparently decrease.

Porous bulk metallic glass fabricated by powder hot pressing

A synthesis method for the production of porous bulk metallic glass (BMG) was introduced. This method utilizes the su- perplastic forming ability of amorphous powder in the supercooled liquid (SCL) state and intenerating salt mixture as a placeholder to produce BMG foam by using a hot die pressing method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dif- ferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to characterize the morphologies of foaming structure, the crystallization and the percentage of crystallization of the as-produced porous BMG. The results suggested that the formation of porous structure by su- perplastic forming process is feasible. Good bonding effect was observed between amorphous powder particles. Less than 6.5% of crystalline phases were formed during hot pressing, and less than 5.5% of residual salt was enclosed in the foam. To remove any re- sidual salt particles, salt preforms with three-dimensional network and good connectivity is necessary.     

Formation and thermal stability of Cu-Zr-Al-Er bulk metallic glasses with high glass-forming ability

The formation and thermal stabilities of Cu46.25Zr46.25xAl7.5Erx (x=0 to 8) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were investigated. The addition of a small amount of Er (2at%) for replacing Zr effectively improves the glass-forming ability of Cu46.25Zr46.25Al7.5 alloy, and the glassy rod with a diameter of at least 12 mm can be formed. The glass transition temperature (Tg), temperature interval of su- percooled liquid region △Tx (=Tx-Tg), and reduced glass transition temperature Trg (=Tg/Tl) of Cu46.25Zr44.25Al7.5Er2 glassy alloy are 699 K, 62 K and 0.607, respectively.     

Equation of state of Zr41 Ti14 Cu12.5 Ni10 Be22.5 bulk metallic glass

The knowledge of the equation of state （EOS） and the compressibility of a solid are of central importance for the understanding of the behavior and the application of a condensed matter. The compression behavior of Zr41Ti14Cu12.5Ni10Be22. 5 bulk metallic glass （BMG） is investigated at room temperature up to 24 GPa using in-situ high pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation. A model of basic cell volume has been established and the equation of state of BMG is determined by the calculation of radial distribution function. The experimental results indicate that the BMG contains a large amount of vacancy-like free volume. Low pressure （ below 7 GPa） induces the collapse of the free volume to some extent and structure relaxation in the BMG.     

Effects of yttrium on the formation and magnetic properties of bulk metallic glassy （Fe, Co）-B-Si-Nb alloys

The bulk metallic glassy (BMG) rods of [(Fe0.5Co0.5)0.72B0.192Si0.048Nb0.04]100-xYx (x=0-6) and [(FexCo1-x)0.72B0.192Si0.04]Nb0.04]96Y4 (x=0.5-0.8) were prepared by copper mold casting. The structure, thermal stability,and magnetic properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Adding lat% to 6at% of yt-trium, the bulk glassy alloy rods of [(Fe0.5Co0.5)0.72B0.192Si0.048Nb0.04]100-xYx (x=0-6) with the diameter of 3 mm were not formed, and the sample with 4at% of yttrium showed less crystalline phase than others. When the Fe/Co atomic ratio was between 5:5 and 7:3, the bulk glassy alloy rods of [(Fe1-xCox)B0.192Si0.048Nb0.04]96Y4 (x=0.5-0.8) with the diameter of 2 mm were fabricated. In the (Fe, Co)-B-Si-Nb-Y BMGs, when the Fe content increased, the thermal stability, the supercooled liquid region, and the glass-forming ability (GFA) decreased, but the saturation magnetization (Ms) increased.     

Thermal stability and glass-forming ability of Y-Ce-Co-Al bulk metallic glasses

The thermal stability and glass-forming ability of Y56-xCexCo20Al24 (x=15, 20, 25, 28, 38, 41, 44) bulk metallic glasses with a diameter of 5 mm were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the thermal stability of the alloys decreases with the addition of Ce. It has the best glass-forming ability when x=25, whose calculated values can reach about 30 mm in diameter. The effect of Ce element could be explained on the view of Miedema’s theory and elec- tronegativity difference of amorphous alloys.

Critical serrated flow features during nanoindentation in La-based bulk metallic glasses

La57.6Al17.5(Cu,Ni)24.9 and La64Al14(Cu,Ni)22 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were prepared by copper-mould casting method. Plastic deformation behavior of the two BMGs at various loading rates was studied by nanoindentation. The results showed that the La57.6Al17.5(Cu,Ni)24.9 BMG with a glass transition temperature of 423 K exhibited prominent serrated flow at low loading rates, whereas less pronounced serrated flow at high rates during nanoindentation. In contrast, the La64Al14(Cu,Ni)22 BMG with a glass transition temperature of 401 K exhibited prominent serrated flow at high loading rates. The different rate dependency of serrated flow in the two La-based BMGs is related to the different glass transition temperature, and consequently the degree of viscous flow during indentation at room temperature. A smoother flow occurs in the alloy with relatively lower glass transition temperature, due to the relaxation of stress concentration.     

Room temperature plastic deformation behavior of ZrCuNiAl bulk metallic glasses

The Zr62.55Cu17.55Ni9.9Al10 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was prepared by using copper-mold suction-casting. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry were utilized to determine its structure and thermal stability. Uniaxial compression and Rockwell indenta-tion tests were adopted to study the plastic deformation behavior at room temperature. The results show that the glass transition temperature and the onset temperature of exothermic reaction of the BMG are 651.5 and 748 K, respectively. During the compression test, the BMGs undergo an engineering strain of about 2.5%, i.e., true strain of 2.8%, and then fracture. The BMGs deform via the formation and propagation of shear bands. Under indentation loading, the BMGs deform through the formation of radiation-like and circular shear bands. The circular shear bands form earlier than the radiation-like ones. The formation mechanism of shear bands in the BMGs was analyzed and discussed.     

Bulk metallic glass rings prepared by a modified water quenching method

Bulk metallic glass rings have the potential applications as annular gasket and active solder in special fields.The bulk me-tallic glass ring of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 with the outer diameter,the inner diameter,and the thickness of 38,36,and 5 mm,re-spectively,was prepared by using a special shaped quartz tube water quenching method.The mechanical properties along the whole cross section were investigated by a nanoindentation method,and no evident variation of the Young's modulus and hardness was found,further indicating the single amorphous structure.Amorphous ring and tube-shape parts with different dimensions can be produced by this method.     

Compositional dependence of thermal and elastic properties of Cu-Ti-Zr-Ni bulk metallic glasses

Starting from the quaternary Cu47Ti34Zr11Ni8 alloy, the compositional dependence of thermal and elastic properties of Cu-Ti-Zr-Ni alloys was systematically investigated. Quaternary Cu-Ti-Zr-Ni alloys can be cast directly from the melt into copper molds to form fully amorphous strips or rods with the thickness of 3-6 mm. The evidence of the amorphous nature of the cast rods was provided by X-ray spectra. The measured glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallization temperature (Tx) were obtained for the alloys using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at the heating rate of 20 K/s. In the results, the differences between the glass temperature and the crystallization tempera-ture (△Tx=Tx-Tg) are measured with values ranging up to 33-55 K. The reduced glass transition temperature (Trg), which is the ratio of the glass temperature to the liquidus temperature (T1), is often used as an indication of the glass-forming ability of metallic alloys. For the present Cu-Ti-Zr-Ni alloys, this ratio is typically in the range of 0.5838-0.5959, characteristic of metallic alloys with good glass-forming ability. The elastic constants for several selected alloys were measured using ultrasonic methods. The values of the elastic shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio were also given.

The glass transition temperature Tg and the onset crystallization temperature Tx of this alloy are respectively 579 and 640 K at a heating rate of 20 K/min.
