Laser welding of annealed Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 bulk metallic glass

Laser welding is one of the promising ways for manufacturing metallic glass products with complicated shape and geometry. In this work we focus on the effect of annealing treatment and welding parameters on laser welding of annealed Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Ni₅Al₁₀ bulk metallic glass as intended and unintended heat treatment occurs in the process. We find that laser welding can produce well welded specimen plates with no obvious welding defects in the joints and high welding speed may lead to better joints. Although higher annealing temperature or longer annealing time leads crystallization, bulk metallic glass material still remains largely amorphous in the heat affected zone. Compared with the welded joint without annealing, the micro-hardness and bending strength are enhanced due to the presence of the nanocrystals occurred in annealed welding joint. Therefore, appropriate annealing treatment with the annealing temperature near the glass transition temperature and annealing time as long as that in hot embossing of BMG parts may play a beneficial role in laser welding of metallic glasses.     

Influence of powder size on the crystallization behavior during laser solid forming Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk amorphous alloy

The Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were prepared using laser solid forming (LSF) process from the plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) powder. The effect of the powder size on the crystallization behavior of the remelted zone (RZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ) was investigated. It was found that the as-prepared powders were composed of the amorphous phase and Al₅Ni₃Zr₂-type phase. The RZ mainly kept the amorphous state after LSF. The residual Al₅Ni₃Zr₂-type phase could be observed in RZ only if the powder size was larger than 106 μm. Meanwhile, the NiZr₂-type nanocrystals at the boundary of RZ primarily formed from the solidification of remelted liquid. With the increase of the powder size, the lower overheating temperature and shorter existing time of the molten pool enhanced the heredity of Al₅Ni₃Zr₂ clusters and other intermetallic clusters in remelted alloy melt, which decreased the thermal stability of the already-deposited layer. The volume fraction of crystallization in the deposit increased with the increase in powder size. There was no crystallization occurred in the HAZ between the adjacent tracks and layers for the deposit prepared by the powder with the size range of 53–75 μm. However, the wide crystalline band with Al₅Ni₃Zr₂-type faceted phase, CuZr-type dendrite, CuZr₂-type spherulite and NiZr₂-type nanocrystal were observed in the entire HAZ for the deposit prepared by the powder with the size range of 106–150 μm. The finer powder was benefit to prepare the BMGs by LSF.

Characterization of free volume in cold-rolled Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 bulk metallic glasses

Cold-rolled Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Ni₅Al₁₀ bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) exhibited volume dilatation across the entire range of thickness reduction fractions from 5.7% to 63%. The dilatation was dominantly attributed to the free volume generated during cold-rolling, together with any open volumes, like the voids or microcracks, or both, which survived even after sufficiently annealing the rolled sample at the temperature in the supercooled liquid region. The relaxation of free volume formed during cold-rolling resulted in more heat evolution per unit volume than that of as-cast glass. The structural change during cold-rolling could be ascribed to the increased fluctuation of atomic-level hydrostatic stress, 〈p²〉, in the glass.     

On the crystalline equilibrium phases of the Zr57Cu15.4Ni12.6Al10Nb5 bulk metallic glass forming alloy

The concentration and structure of the five crystalline equilibrium phases of the Zr₅₇Cu_15.4Ni_12.6Al₁₀Nb₅ bulk metallic glass forming alloy were determined. All phases can be derived from binary compounds that contain the other elements as solutes. Large linked fluxes of Al and Nb are necessary to nucleate any of the equilibrium phases.     

Microstructural analysis of Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk metallic glasses by laser surface remelting and laser solid forming

The crystallization behavior of Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ bulk amorphous alloy during laser solid forming (LSF) was analyzed. Since laser surface remelting (LSM) is a key process for the LSF, the crystallization behavior of as-cast Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) during LSM was also investigated. It was found that the amorphous state of the as-cast BMGs was maintained when they were repeatedly remelted four times in a single-trace LSM, and as for the LSF of Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ bulk amorphous alloy, the crystallization primarily occurred in the HAZ between the adjacent traces and layers after the two layers were deposited. The as-deposited microstructure exhibited a series of phase evolutions from the molten pool to the HAZ as follows: the amorphous → NiZr₂–type nanocrystal + amorphous → NiZr₂–type equiaxed dendrite + amorphous → Cu₁₀Zr₇–type dendrite + NiZr₂–type nanocrystal. Among these microstructural patterns, the NiZr₂–type nanocrystals and equiaxed dendrites primarily formed from the rapid solidification of the remelted liquid in the laser processing process, and the Cu₁₀Zr₇–type dendrites in the HAZ primarily formed by the crystallization of pre-existed nuclei in the already-deposited amorphous substrate.     

Wetting behavior of Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 melt on alumina

The wetting behavior of molten Zr55 Cu30 Al10 Ni5 on Al2O3 was studied by the sessile drop method in high vacuum. The results show that wetting kinetic at 1 163 K is composed of three stages., incubation, quasi-steady decrease and trend constant. Precursor film forms surrounding the wetting tip when wetting temperature is above 1 163K. Formation of precursor film is related to the change of triple line configuration and results in good wettability.Chemical reaction dos not occur at the wetting interface. Al2O3 is an excellent reinforcement for Zr55 Cu30 Al10 Ni5 matrix composite in terms of wettability and reactivity. The kinetic relationship of spreading ratio with spreading timewas also investigated.     

Influence of temperature on viscous flow deformation of Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk glassy alloy in supercooled liquid region

We examined a viscous flow behavior of a Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ bulk glassy alloy as a function of deformation temperature in a supercooled liquid region by high-temperature compression test. Large relative displacement of over 75% was obtained when the temperature was in the range from 713 K to 733 K. The temperature dependence of viscosity accords with the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) formula at the temperature above 703 K. An incubation time for isothermal annealing crystallization was reduced during the viscous flow deformation. The thermal stability of the supercooled liquid decreased after viscous flow deformation. At the temperatures of 713 K and 723 K, nano-crystallization was recognized. The hardness increased slightly after deformation at low temperatures below 713 K and significantly at higher temperatures above 723 K.

Wettability of molten Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 on alumina and zirconia

The wetting behavior of molten Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 on Al2O3 and ZrO2 was studied using the sessile drop method. The results show that the nonwetting-to-wetting transition for the Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5/ZrO2 wetting system takes place at 1193 K. The wetting of molten Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 on Al2O3 is a non-reactive wetting. Owing to the formation of diffusion band at the front of the wetting tip in the Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5/Al2O3 system, the wettability of Al2O3 is better than that of ZrO2.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of dissimilar spot friction stir welded Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk metallic glass to pure copper

A Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ bulk metallic glass (BMG) plate with thickness of 2 mm was successfully spot friction stir welded to a commercial pure Cu plate. Microstructural characterization revealed that some serrations formed at the edge of the BMG plate and some nano-sized nucleuses were dispersed in the BMG side along the Cu/BMG joint interface. In the upper Cu side close to the keyhole, some blocky and strip-like BMG fragments were embedded in the Cu matrix. As a result, significantly elongated Cu grains with width of about 200 nm were formed between the strip-like BMG fragments. Shear tensile tests showed that the Cu/BMG spot joints fractured at a maximum load of about 2300 N through the stir zone pullout fracture mode.
