Friction Welding of Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 Bulk Metallic Glasses

The friction welding of Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 bulk metallic glasses (BMG) has been tried. An apparatus for the friction welding of BMGs adopting a pneumatic cylinder and gripper based on a conventional lathe, and a welding process which provides a sufficient cooling rate after welding were devised. Friction time and friction pressure were chosen as the control parameters in the friction welding proce...

Extraordinary plasticity of ductile bulk metallic glasses.

Shear bands generally initiate strain softening and result in low ductility of metallic glasses. In this Letter, we report high-resolution electron microscope observations of shear bands in a ductile metallic glass. Strain softening caused by localized shearing was found to be effectively prevented by nanocrystallization that is in situ produced by plastic flow within the shear bands, leading t...

Liquid-solid joining of bulk metallic glasses

Here, we successfully welded two bulk metallic glass (BMG) materials, Zr51Ti5Ni10Cu25Al9 and Zr50.7Cu28Ni9Al12.3 (at. %), using a liquid-solid joining process. An atomic-scale metallurgical bonding between two BMGs can be achieved. The interface has a transition layer of ~50 μm thick. The liquid-solid joining of BMGs can shed more insights on overcoming their size limitation resulting from thei...
