Kinetic Processes

It is expected that viscous flow is affecting the kinetic processes in a supercooled liquid, such as the structural relaxation and the crystallization kinetics. These processes significantly influence the behavior of glass being prepared by quenching. In this paper, the activation energy of viscous flow is discussed with respect to the activation energy of crystal growth and the structural relaxation of glassy selenium. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and hot-stage infrared microscopy were used. It is shown that the activation energy of structural relaxation corresponds to that of the viscous flow at the lowest value of the glass transition temperature obtained within the commonly achievable time scale. The temperature-dependent activation energy of crystal growth, data obtained by isothermal and non-isothermal DSC and TMA experiments, as well as direct microscopic measurements, follows nearly the same dependence as the activation energy of viscous flow, taking into account viscosity and crystal growth rate decoupling due to the departure from Stokes–Einstein behavior.

The values of effective activation energy (Q) and pre-exponential factor (D0) reported in the literature for diffusion in the novel bulk metallic glasses, both in the glassy and the deeply supercooled liquid regions, are found to follow the same correlation as reported earlier in conventional metallic glasses, namely D0 = A exp(Q/B), where A and B are fitting parameters with values A = 4.8 × 10−19 m2 s−1 and B = 0.056 eV atom−1. A possible explanation for the observed values of A and B is given by combining an activation energy and a free volume term. The interpretation favors a cooperative mechanism for diffusion in the glassy and deeply supercooled liquid states.

Thermoplastic Forming

The constraint in sample size imposed by the critical cooling rate necessary for glass formation using conventional casting techniques is possibly the most critical limitation for the extensive use of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) in structural applications. This drawback has been recently overcome by processing glass-forming systems via additive manufacturing, finally enabling the synthesis of BMGs with no size limitation. Although processing by additive manufacturing allows fabricating BMG objects with virtually no shape limitation, thermoplastic forming of additively manufactured BMGs may be necessary for materials optimization. Thermoplastic forming of BMGs is carried out above the glass transition temperature, where these materials behave as highly viscous liquids; the analysis of the viscosity is thus of primary importance. In this work, the temperature dependence of viscosity of the Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 metallic glass fabricated by casting and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is investigated. We observed minor differences in the viscous flow of the specimens fabricated by the different techniques that can be ascribed to the higher porosity of the LPBF metallic glass. Nevertheless, the present results reveal a similar overall variation of viscosity in the cast and LPBF materials, which offers the opportunity to shape additively manufactured BMGs using already developed thermoplastic forming techniques.
