Bulk glass formation of the Co–Cr–Mo–C–B–Er alloy system was investigated in this paper. The Co50Cr15Mo14C15B6 (at.%) alloy could be cast into fully glassy rod with a diameter up to 2 mm. By adding 2 at.% Er to this alloy, the critical diameter for glass formation reached 10 mm. The excellent glass formability of the Er-doped alloy was mainly attributed to its relatively large reduced glass transition temperature of 0.61, near-eutectic composition, and the necessity of redistribution of the Er atoms for precipitation of crystalline Co6Mo6C phase in the undercooled liquid on cooling.

In this study, the effect of addition of Nb on glass formation in Ni–Ti–Zr–Si–Sn alloys has been studied. The composition range for bulk glass formation with Dmax > 2 mm (Dmax, maximum diameter for glass formation by injection cast method) becomes wider when compared with the non-Nb–containing alloy. The ΔTx (= Tx – Tg; Tx, crystallization onset temperature; Tg, glass transition temperature), Trg (= Tg/Tl; Tl, liquidus temperature) and γ [= Tx/(Tl + Tg)] values for the alloys Dmax > 2 mm are in the range of 40–59, 0.638–0.651, and 0.410–0.419, respectively. The compositions of the alloys (Dmax > 2 mm) are closer to pseudo-eutectic composition than that of the alloy without Nb, showing an improved glass forming ability. The critical cooling rate for glass formation (Dmax = 5 mm) is estimated to be order of approximately 40 K/s.

AbstractOnset temperature, Tm and offset temperature (liquidus) Tl of melting of a series of bulk glass forming alloys based on La, Mg, and Pd have been measured by studying systematically the melting behaviour of these alloys using DTA or DSC. Bulk metallic glass formation has been found to be most effective at or near their eutectic points and less effective for off-eutectic alloys. Reduced glass transition temperature Trg given by Tg/Tl is found to show a stronger correlation with critical cooling rate or critical section thickness for glass formation than Trg given by Tg/Tm.

Glass Forming

The thermal stability and crystalline phases precipitated from the as-cast rods of the Cu50Zr50-based alloys with addition of Al or simultaneous addition of Al/Ti or Al/Ag elements were investigated using DSC, DTA and XRD. The value of Tx, Trg and γ as a function of alloy composition shows a same trend, in which the Cu46Zr46Al8 alloy exhibits the largest value of Tx, Trg and γ. However, this trend is different from the variation of the dc with alloy composition, in which the Cu42Zr42Al8Ag8 alloy has the largest dc for glass formation. Trg′ based on Tg/Tm has a good correlation with the critical diameter for glass formation in this alloy system. It was found that the alloy with higher GFA has more complex precipitated crystalline phases from the as-cast rod with a diameter larger than the critical diameter for glass formation.

Glass Forming

A new series of bulk metallic glasses were developed by addition of Fe into the ternary Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy. Although Fe-Cu element pair shows distinct immiscibility with a large positive heat of mixing, substitution of Fe for Cu significantly improves the glass-forming ability of the ternary Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy. The critical diameter for glass-formation increases from 8 mm for Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy to 20 mm for Zr60Cu25Fe5Al10 and Zr62.5Cu22.5Fe5Al10 alloys. As compared with the ternary Zr60Cu30Al10 alloy, the new quaternary Zr-Cu-Fe-Al alloys show lower liquidus temperatures. The Zr60Cu25Fe5Al10 and Zr62.5Cu22.5Fe5Al10 alloys, the best BMG-formers in this alloy system, are found to locate very near a Zr-Cu-Fe-Al eutectic point. The new Zr-Fe-Cu-Al bulk metallic glasses exhibit high strength of about 1700 MPa. The plastic strain increases from 7.8% to 11.3% with increasing the content of Fe from 0 to 12.5%. The finding of a Ni-free Zr-based bulk glassy alloy with the extremely high glass-forming ability is expected to extend the future application of bulk metallic glasses.

Several new bulk metallic glasses based on Fe–Y–Zr–(Co, Cr, Al)–Mo–B, which have a glass-forming ability superior to the best composition Fe61Zr10Co7Mo5W2B15 reported recently, have been successfully developed. The as-cast bulk amorphous alloys showed a distinctly high thermal stability with glass-transition temperatures above 900 K, supercooled liquid regions above 60 K, and high strength with Vickers hardness values larger than HV 1200. The suppression of the growth of primary phases in the molten liquids and the resultant low liquidus temperatures were found to be responsible for the superior glass-forming ability in these new alloys. It was found that the addition of 2% Y not only facilitated bulk glass formation, but the neutralizing effect of Y with oxygen in the molten liquids also improved the manufacturability of these amorphous alloys.

Versus Concentration

AbstractThis study is mainly devoted to the establisment of relations between easy glass forming ability of some multicomponent liquid alloys and strong heteroatomic bonding in connection with nucleation. The chemical short range order in typical liquid bulk glass formers as Zr-Ni-AI is evaluated from a statistical model and presented as Cowley's order parameters versus concentration. The effect of the nature and of the number of components on the chemical contribution to the liquid-crystal interface energy and on the Gibbs energy of crystallisation is analysed and discussed. A specific mechanism of nucleation based on a distribution of concentration fluctuations in the undercooled liquid is proposed. This homophase fluctuation mechanism, which is thermodynamically and kinetically justified, leads to a lower preexponential factor in the expression of the frequency of nucleation as a function of the number of components. Furthermore, this frequency of nucleation can be strongly lowered by an augmentation of the energy barrier of nucleation depending on the nature and the number of components in the liquid phase.

Compressive Mechanical Property

The effects of niobium (Nb) addition on the glass-forming ability (GFA), crystallization behavior, and compressive mechanical property of iron (Fe)–boron (B)–yttrium (Y) alloys have been investigated. Among the (Fe71.2B24Y4.8)100−xNbx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) alloys investigated, (Fe71.2B24Y4.8)96Nb4 exhibits the highest GFA, enabling the formation of glassy rods with a maximum diameter of 7 mm, which is the largest among quaternary Fe-based alloys. The comparison of the crystallization behavior of the alloys shows that the formation of metastable Fe23B6 phase during crystallization in the (Fe71.2B24Y4.8)96Nb4 alloy can suppress the formation of other stable crystalline phases such as α-Fe, enhancing the stability of the glass phase. The present results show that the attainment of a significantly high GFA is possible even in a quaternary Fe-based alloy system by properly tailoring the competing crystalline phase by the modification of liquid chemistry.

Mismatch Condition

To verify the effect of composition on the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Cu-based alloys, properties have been collected from the literature (~100 papers, more than 200 alloys). Surveying the BGFA criteria published so far, it has been found that the atomic mismatch condition of Egami-Waseda is fulfilled for all the Cu-based BGFAs, the value being above 0,3. The Zhang Bangwei criterion could be applied for the binary Cu-based alloys. The Miracle and Senkov criteria do not necessarily apply for Cu based bulk amorphous alloys. The critical thickness versus plot of Lu and Liu extrapolates to , somewhat higher than the 0.33 value found in other BGFA alloys. The Park and Kim parameter correlates rather poorly with the critical thickness for Cu based alloys. The Cheney and Vecchino parameter is a good indicator to find the best glass former if it is possible to calculate the exact liquids projection. In 2009 Xiu-lin and Pan defined a new parameter which correlates a bit better with the critical thickness. Based on this survey it is still very difficult to find one parameter in order to characterize the real GFA without an unrealized mechanism of crystallization.
