Nuclear magnetic resonance is used for the first time to detect slow atomic motion in metallic glasses, specifically, Be motion in Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be bulk metallic glasses. The observations are not consistent with the vacancy-assisted and interstitial diffusion mechanisms and favor the spread-out free volume fluctuation mechanism for Be diffusion. Comparison with the results of Be diffusion measure...

Results of calorimetric, differential thermal analysis, and structural measurements are presented for a series of bulk metallic glass forming compositions in the Zr–Ti–Cu–Ni–Be alloy system. The calorimetric data for five alloys, prepared along the tie line between phase separating and nonphase separating compositions, show that the transition from phase separating to nonphase separating behavi...

Complex thin oxide films with electro-optic (EO) properties are promising for use in advanced optical devices because of their large EO effect. We developed a method of aerosol deposition (AD) for fabricating EO films. The mechanism for AD is based on the solidification by impact of submicron particles onto a substrate. Since particles in AD films preserve their crystalline structure during the...

Samples of Zr(46.25)Ti(8.25)Cu(7.5)Ni(10)Be(27.5) were isothermally annealed and quenched near the glass transition temperature and studied by the pulse-echo overlap technique. The shear modulus G of the samples shows a strong reversible dependence on annealing temperatures and, thus, on the specific configurational potential energy of the equilibrium liquid. The low-T dependence of G of the co...

Ti-Al-V-Zr quaternary titanium alloys were designed following α-{[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)}17−n+β-{[Al-Ti12Zr2](V3)}n, where n=1–7 (the number of β units), on the basis dual-cluster formula popular Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Such an alloying strategy aims at strengthening alloy via Zr and V co-alloying in β-Ti unit, based original [Al-Ti14](V2Ti) The microstructures as-cast by copper-mold suction-casting change f...

As shown in the preceding chapter, simple binary eutectic Ni-Hf and Ni-Zr braze alloys can be used to successfully join In738 Ni-base superalloy. The joint gap must, however, be narrow (less than 0.15 mm in width) to allow capillary action to draw the filler metal into the joint. Such narrow joint gaps are usually only found in the manufacturing industry. In the repair industry, especially in I...

Let {Ti}Ni 1 beN strictly pseudononspreadingmappings defined on closed convex subsetC of a real Hilbert space H. Consider the problem of finding a common fixed point of these mappings and introduce cyclic algorithms based on general viscosity iteration method for solving this problem. We will prove the strong convergence of these cyclic algorithm. Moreover, the common fixed point is the solutio...

The Ni-free Ti-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with high glass-forming ability (GFA) can be synthesized in the (Ti, Cu, Zr)92.5Fe2.5Sn2Si1Ag2 alloy system over a wide composition range by copper-mold casting. Especially, Ti48Cu37Zr7.5Fe2.5Sn2Si1Ag2 glassy form BMG rod diameter up to 6 mm and showed compressive strength of ~ 2.05 GPa, elastic modulus 100 microhardness 571 Hv. BMGs presented g...
