Formation of Bulk Metallic Glasses and Their Composites
نویسنده
چکیده
A great expansion in the number of alloy compositions known to give bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has occurred in recent years. This progress is reviewed, and factors contributing to glass-forming ability are discussed. Practical strategies for pinpointing compositions with optimum glass-forming ability are presented, with examples of their use. Consideration is also given to the wide range of possibilities for BMG-based

Designing Bulk Metallic Glass Matr ix Composites with High Toughness and Tensile Ductility
Metallic glasses have been the subject of intense scientific study since the 1960s, owing to their unique properties such as high strength, large elastic limit, high hardness, and amorphous microstructure. However, bulk metallic glasses have not been used in the high strength structural applications for which they have so much potential, owing to a highly localized failure mechanism that result...

Metallic glasses exhibit unique combination of physical, chemical and mechanical properties due to their amorphous nature which lacks long range order and defects such as grain boundaries and dislocations [1,2]. In the past two decades, they have been rapidly developed for application in many fields. However, the disadvantages such as poor plasticity and limited dimensions hamper their large-sc...

متن کاملBulk 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 کاملMechanical Properties of Bulk Metallic Glasses and composites
We have studied the mechanical properties of monolithic bulk metallic glasses and composite in the La based alloys. La86-yAl14(Cu, Ni)y (y=24 to 32) alloy systems was used to cast the in-situ structure and subsequently tested under compression. We found that the ductility of the monolithic is actually poorer than that of the fully crystalline composite.
