Mg-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) and its composite (BMGC) can be excellent candidates as lightweight structure materials, but lack of anti-corrosion ability may restrict their application. In order to enhance the natural weak point of Mg-based BMGC, a 200-nm thick Zr-based metallic glass thin film (MGTF) ((Zr53Cu30Ni9Al8)99.5Si0.5) was applied and its mechanical properties as well as its corrosion resistance were appraised. The results of a 3-point bending test revealed that the flexural strength of the Mg-based BMGC with 200-nm thick Zr-based MGTF coating can be greatly enhanced from 180 to 254 MPa. We propose that the Zr-based MGTF coating can help to cover any small defects of a substrate surface, provide a protecting layer to prevent stress concentration, and cease crack initiation from the specimen surface during bending tests. Moreover, the results of anti-corrosion behavior analysis revealed a similar trend between the Mg-based BMG, Mg-based BMGC, and Mg-based BMGC with Zr-based MGTF coating in 0.9 wt.% sodium chloride solution. The readings show a positive effect with the Zr-based MGTF coating. Therefore, the 200-nm thick Zr-based MGTF coating is a promising solution to provide protection for both mechanical and anti-corrosion behaviors of Mg-based BMGC and reinforce its capability as structure material in island environments.

Due to high strength, perfect plasticity and higher hardness, bulk metallic glass (BMG) has been widely concerned. The work used the vaccum casting of copper-formed mold to establish (Ti36.1Zr33.2Ni5.8Be24.9)100-xCux, where x = 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. Thermal properties, mechanical behaviors of compression, and corrosion resistance in the proposed compounds were investigated. The results show that the increase in Cu content enhances the heat resistance and the forming of glass of BMGs, small amount of fine dendritic crystals presents in BMG when x = 3, and the best corrosion resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained when x = 7, the yield strength, fracture strength and plastic strain can reach 1496.15 MPa, 2003.44 MPa and 19.19%, respectively.

Pb–free solders have been widely developed by materials researchers as mainly focused on the replacement for Sn–Pb eutectic solder. In this study, Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu, Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu–xSb and Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu–xZn solders (x = 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 wt%) were prepared using melting method. The effect of Sb and Zn addition on microstructure and properties, such as tensile strength, microhardness and corrosion resistance of Sn–Ag–Cu solders was investigated. The microstructure analysis revealed that addition of Sb and Zn to the Sn–Ag–Cu solders obviously decreased phase fraction of the dendritic β–Sn phase and the finer eutectic phase was obtained, resulting in superior mechanical properties of the Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu–xSb and Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu–xZn solders compared to the Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu solder. The results of potentiodynamic polarization tests indicated that the corrosion potentials of the Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu–xSb solders continuously increased with increasing of Sb content. While Zn content had little effect on the corrosion potentials of the Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu–xZn solders.
