Fragility and Glass-Forming Ability of the Ca-Mg-Cu System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elastic moduli of the glass and fragility of the corresponding supercooled liquid were found to be correlated in recently published results. In the present work, compositions within the Ca-Mg-Cu system are used to study the relationships between liquid fragility, glass-forming ability and elastic properties. The correlation between liquid fragility and elastic properties already observed for glasses in general is found to hold in this particular system. More extensive work should be done in order to obtain conclusive results. However, if such a correlation turns out to be general in metallic systems, it will be a powerful criterion in choosing candidate compositions for new bulk metallic glasses.

متن کاملOn the Fragility of Bulk Metallic Glass Forming Liquids
In contrast to pure metals and most non-glass forming alloys, metallic glass-formers are moderately strong liquids in terms of fragility. The notion of fragility of an undercooling liquid reflects the sensitivity of the viscosity of the liquid to temperature changes and describes the degree of departure of the liquid kinetics from the Arrhenius equation. In general, the fragility of metallic gl...

Ni57Zr22X8Nb8Al5 (X = Ti, Cu) metallic glass (MG) and nanocomposite powders were synthesized by mechanical alloying. Outstanding differences in glass-forming ability (GFA), thermal property, particle size and crystallization behavior were found for the two synthesized alloy powders with different alloying substitutions. The Ti-containing MG powder exhibits better GFA, higher thermal stability, ...

The composition dependence of glass forming ability in the ternary Al-Cu-Y system is predicted by thermodynamic calculations based on the Miedema’s model and Alonso’s method. By comparing the relative energetic status of the amorphous phase versus the solid solution phase, a hexagonal composition region that energetically favoring the metallic glass formation is predicted. The glass formation d...
متن کاملA NEW GENERATION OF OXYNITRIDE GLASSES CONTAINING FLUORINE
Oxynitride glasses are found as grain boundary phases in silicon nitride ceramics. They are effectively alumino-silicate glasses in which nitrogen substitutes for oxygen in the glass network, and this causes increases in glass transition and softening temperatures, viscosities (by two to three orders of magnitude), elastic moduli and microhardness. Calcium silicate-based glasses containing fluo...
