Formation of Amorphous Phase in the Binary Cu-Zr Alloy System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work is to elucidate the formation of the amorphous phase in the Cu-Zr binary alloy system. It was found that 1 mm diameter rods with a fully amorphous structure can be prepared in a relatively wide range of compositions. In contrast, the formation of 2 mm diameter rods was achieved only for the Cu64Zr36 alloy and in the range of Cu53Zr47 Cu50Zr50, which are compositions near the energetically stable Cu2Zr and CuZr intermetallic compounds. The difference between the calculated Gibbs free energy of the amorphous phase and the intermetallic compounds gives insight into the range of glass formation. In addition, the formation of the energetically stable phases can be kinetically by-passed owing to the crystallization of several competing phases.

In the field of metallic materials with amorphous structures, it is vitally important to understand the glass formation and to predict glass-forming ability (GFA) in terms of constituent elements and alloy compositions. In this study, an expression has been formulated from first-principles calculations to predict the trend of GFA by hybridizing both internal energies and atomic-scale defect str...

The structural behavior of rapidly quenched Cu-Zr amorphous alloys was analyzed. High energy X-ray diffraction patterns and atomic pair correlation functions exhibit monotonic changes with composition. The experimental results can be well described by a solid solution-like replacement of Cu and Zr atoms in the whole composition range. No indications are observed that would support the existence...
