Castable Bulk Metallic Glass Strain Wave Gears: Towards Decreasing the Cost of High-Performance Robotics
The use of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) as the flexspline in strain wave gears (SWGs), also known as harmonic drives, is presented. SWGs are unique, ultra-precision gearboxes that function through the elastic flexing of a thin-walled cup, called a flexspline. The current research demonstrates that BMGs can be cast at extremely low cost relative to machining and can be implemented into SWGs as a...
متن کاملDuctile bulk metallic glass.
We report on experimental evidence of pronounced global plasticity measured in monolithic Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5 bulk metallic glass under both bending and unconfined compression loading conditions. A plastic strain of 20% is measured, never before seen in metallic glasses. Also, permanent deformation and a strain exceeding 3% before failure is observed during bending of 4 mm thick samples. To ...
متن کاملStrain rate induced crystallization in bulk metallic glass-forming liquid.
We report on the solidification of Au49, Ag5.5, Pd2.3, Cu26.9, Si16.3 bulk metallic glass under various strain rates. Using a copper mold casting technique with a low strain rate during solidification, this alloy is capable of forming glassy rods of at least 5 mm in diameter. Surprisingly, when the liquid alloy is splat cooled at much higher cooling rates and large strain rates, the solidified ...
متن کاملEffect of high strain rates on peak stress in a Zr-based bulk metallic glass
The mechanical behavior of Zr41.25Ti13.75Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 LM-1 has been extensively characterized under quasistatic loading conditions; however, its mechanical behavior under dynamic loading conditions is currently not well understood. A Split–Hopkinson pressure bar SHPB and a single-stage gas gun are employed to characterize the mechanical behavior of LM-1 in the strain-rate regime of 102–105 ...
متن کاملMechanical performance and fracture behavior of Fe41Co7Cr15Mo14Y2C15B6 bulk metallic glass
The mechanical properties of a new Fe41Co7Cr15Mo14Y2C15B6 bulk glassy alloy were studied by impact bending, compression, and hardness tests carried out at room temperature. The compressive fracture strength, elastic strain to fracture, Young’s modulus and Vickers hardness were measured to be 3.5 GPa, 1.5%, 265 GPa, and 1253 kg mm, respectively. The fracture mode of the glassy alloy under uniaxi...
