ABSTRACTThe thermodynamics of the bulk metallic glass forming Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 alloy were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The specific heat capacity of the undercooled liquid with respect to the crystalline mixture was measured in the DSC simultaneously with the enthalpy of crystallization over the entire supercooled liquid region. The enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy change between the liquid and the crystalline mixture was determined from the specific heat capacity data. The calculated enthalpy function closely matched the enthalpies of crystallization that were measured in the DSC, which verifies the validity of the thermodynamic model used. A small Gibbs free energy difference between undercooled liquid and crystalline mixture was found for decreasing temperature in Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 when compared to other glass forming alloys. This reflects a small driving force for crystallization when undercooling this alloy and is the main contributing factor for its high glass forming ability.

AbstractAn AC modulation calorimetry (ACMC) experiment was performed on two bulk metallic glass forming alloys, Ti34Zr11CU47Ni8 (VIT 101) and Zr57Nb5Ni12.6Al10Cu15.4(VIT 106) on the recent MSL-1 shuttle flight using the TEMPUS hardware. VIT 106 exhibited a maximum undercooling of 140 K in free radiative cooling, while VIT 101 exhibited a smaller undercooling of 50 K. Specific heat measurements were done in both the stable and undercooled liquid regions. These results will be combined with further ground-based measurements in an electrostatic levitator for modeling the nucleation kinetics of these alloys and for calculation of the free energies and entropies of the undercooled liquids in these systems.

AbstractThe thermophysical properties in the stable and undercooled liquid phase of a series of Zr- based metallic glass forming alloys have been investigated under the condition of reduced gravity on board spacelab. Properties measured included the specific heat capacity and the enthalpy of fusion, the electrical resistivity, the total hemispherical emissivity, and the thermal transport properties. Results for the bulk metallic glass forming alloys indicate a pronounced change in chemical short range order in the liquid phase as function of temperature.

ABSTRACTMolecular Dynamics simulation was carried out to study the glass transition and crystallization in the metal-metalloid binary system with pair-wise potentials. The results show that a repulsive potential between metalloid (small) atoms increases the glass forming ability. The observation is consistent with the recent theory of bulk metallic glass formation through local glass transition and nano-glass formation. The theory predicted that the compositional short-range order (CSRO) prevents the small atom pairing so as to increase the glass forming ability (GFA). The present results demonstrate the important role of CSRO in bulk metallic glass formation.
