Bulk metallic glass matrix composites
Composites with a bulk metallic glass matrix were synthesized and characterized. This was made possible by the recent development of bulk metallic glasses that exhibit high resistance to crystallization in the undercooled liquid state. In this letter, experimental methods for processing metallic glass composites are introduced. Three different bulk metallic glass forming alloys were used as the...
متن کاملTuning the Mechanical and Antimicrobial Performance of a Cu-Based Metallic Glass Composite through Cooling Rate Control and Annealing
The influence of cooling rate on the wear and antimicrobial performance of a Cu52Z41Al₇ (at. %) bulk metallic glass (BMG) composite was studied and the results compared to those of the annealed sample (850 °C for 48 h) and to pure copper. The aim of this basic research is to explore the potential use of the material in preventing the spread of infections. The cooling rate is controlled by chang...
متن کاملMechanical properties of Zr57Nb5Al10Cu15.4Ni12.6 metallic glass matrix particulate composites
To increase the toughness of a metallic glass with the nominal composition Zr57Nb5Al10Cu15.4Ni12.6, it was used as the matrix in particulate composites reinforced with W, WC, Ta, and SiC. The composites were tested in compression and tension experiments. Compressive strain to failure increased by more than 300% compared with the unreinforced Zr57Nb5Al10Cu15.4Ni12.6, and energy to break of the t...
متن کاملDeformation Mechanisms of Bulk Metallic Glass Matrix Composites
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) possess a unique set of mechanical properties that make them attractive structural materials: yield strength > 2 GPa, fracture toughness ~20 MPa.m and elastic strain limit ~2%. BMGs can also be cast into intricate shapes which retain their dimensional integrity and require no further machining. Unfortunately, monolithic BMGs fail catastrophically under unconstrained...
متن کاملMelt infiltration casting of bulk metallic-glass matrix composites
The authors describe a technique for melt infiltration casting of composites with a metallic-glass matrix. We made rods 5 cm in length and 7 mm in diameter. The samples were reinforced by continuous metal wires, tungsten powder, or silicon carbide particulate preforms. The most easily processed composites were those reinforced with tungsten and carbon steel continuous wire reinforcement. The Zr...
