A new criterion for predicting glass forming ability of bulk metallic glasses and some critical discussions

A modified criterion,β',defined as T_g/T_x-T_g/(T_l·η))(T_g,T_x,T_l andηdenote the glass transition temperature,the onset of crystallization temperature,the liquidus temperature and constant coefficient,respectively),has been proposed for assessing the glass-forming ability(GFA) of bulk metallic glasses(BMGs).A survey of the readily available experimental data associated with the thermal analysis of various BMG alloys demonstrates that the newβ' criterion exhibits much better correlation with the GFA tha...     

Roles of Co element in Fe-based bulk metallic glasses utilizing industrial FeB alloy as raw material

A series of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses were fabricated by a conventional copper mold casting method using a kind of Fe-B industrial raw alloy. It is found that Fe-B-Y-Nb bulk metallic glass with 3 at% of Co addition possesses the best glass forming ability, thermal stability, hardness, magnetic property and anti-corrosion property. The hardness test result indicates a synchronically trend with glass-forming ability parameters. The excellent glass-forming ability and a combination of good mechanical and functional properties suggest that the alloys in this work might be good candidates for commercial use.     

Effects of density difference of constituent elements on glass formation in TiCu-based bulk metallic glasses

Glass formation is generally favored by a large atomic size mismatch among constituent elements,which usually leads to large density differences among them as well.During melting,elemental segregation occurs due to Stokes’ law and then inevitably affects glass formation.In this paper,such effects on glass-forming ability in a TiCu-based alloy system have been demonstrated.In the bulk glassforming composition Ti43Cu42Hf14Si1,macroscopic segregation of Si was observed in the as-melted ingots and silicon was completely depleted in the as-cast rods.In another Ti33Cu47Ni8Zr11Si1 alloy,nevertheless,the effects of density differences among the constituent elements were less severe.It was also confrmed that using proper pre-alloys could be an effective way in alleviating the side effects of the elemental segregation.     

原子尺寸差效应对Au的势能曲面及玻璃形成能力的影响

运用分子动力学模拟方法,采用镶嵌原子势,研究了金属Au和AuAu′（Au为正常尺寸的金原子,Au′为半径尺寸变大10%的金原子,两者的原子比例为3：1）在发生玻璃转变过程中的势能曲面,探讨了原子尺寸差效应对势能曲面的影响.我们发现增加原子尺寸差会导致Au的势能曲面发生显著的变化：它使高-低温的内在势能差变大;导致每个温度下内在能量分布变宽,势能曲面变得粗糙;使得体系的海森矩阵特征值分布曲线的峰值变矮,势能曲面上的结构重排方向更少,重排几率更小;导致过冷液态区的流变激活能随温度降低增加更快.以上原子尺寸差效应导致的势能曲面的所有的变化,都有利于提高非晶的形成能力.     

以原子半径和电负性预测玻璃形成能力

提出了一个基于合金组元原子半径和电负性判断非晶形成能力的方法. 建立了原子半径差与电负性差之比Δd/Δe与临界冷却速度Rc的数值模型,并在所有五种不同合金系中获得一致且开口向上的抛物线关系. 在此基础上,设计并制备了四种不同成分的Zr-Al-Ni-Cu金属玻璃,并测量它们的临界尺寸Zmax、过冷液相区间ΔTx和约化玻璃转变温度Trg. 结果表明,Zr54Al13Ni15Cu18的玻璃形成能力最佳,而且用Δd/Δe模型预测的四种金属玻璃的玻璃形成能力顺序与所有实测参数(包括Zmax、ΔTx和Trg)表征的顺序基本一致. 因此,用Δd/Δe的预测方法比较同一合金系内不同合金之间玻璃形成能力的优劣是可靠的.

Effect of TRT process on GFA, mechanical properties and microstructure of Zr-based bulk metallic glass

The effect of yttrium addition on the glass-forming ability(GFA) and mechanical properties of the Zr-based (Zr_(0.525)Al_(0.1)Ti_(0.05)Cu_(0.179)Ni_(0.146))_(100-x)Y_x and(Zr_(0.55)Al_(0.15)Ni_(0.1)Cu_(0.2))_(100-x)Y_x(x=0,0.2,0.4 0.6,1,2) alloys was studied.Micro-alloying of 0.6%yttrium enhances the room temperature ductility as well as the GFA of the Zr-based alloys.The mechanism of enhancing the GFA and room temperature ductility was analyzed.It is indicated that proper yttrium addition stabilizes the...     

Mechanism of Ag and Al on improving the glass forming ability of CuZr-based alloys

By a mean field theoretical computation,the equilibrium distributions of additional Ag and Al in the crystalline phase of CuZr-based alloys were determined to occupy the two sublattices of the B2 structure randomly.With the molecular dynamics technique,the effects of Ag and Al on the enthalpy difference(ΔH) between the supercooled melt and the crystalline phase were evaluated.The improved glass forming ability of Cu45Zr45Al10 and Cu45Zr45Ag10 can be attributed to their remarkably smaller ΔH than that of CuZr.The calculated diffusion coefficients are more sensitive to the atomic weight of the component atoms than to their interaction strength.As the component atom with the largest mass,the additional Ag increases the viscosity of the supercooled melt significantly and the experimentally stronger glass formation ability of Cu45Zr45Ag10 than Cu45Zr45Al10 can be well understood.     

Effect of Ag addition on the thermal stability and glass-forming ability of Zr<Subscript>35</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>30</Subscript>Cu<Subscript>7.5</Subscript>Be<Subscript>27.5</Subscript> bulk metallic glass

The thermal stability and glass forming ability (GFA) of Zr35-xTi30Cu7.5Be27.5Agx (x = 0-10) alloys were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and ultrasonic techniques. We found that the addition of 1 at.% Ag can considerably enhance the GFA as indicated by an increase in the critical glass dimension from 15 mm in the Zr35Ti30Cu7.5Be27.5 alloy to 20 mm in the Zr34Ti30Cu7.5Be27.5Ag1 alloy. However, with the addition of more Ag the supercooled liquid region (△Tx) and y parameter (defined as Tx/(Tg+Tl)) drastically decreased from 155 K and 0.436 to 76 K and 0.363, respectively, resulting in a decrease in the GFA. Additionally, the elastic constant (the ratio of shear modulus to bulk modulus or Poisson’s ratio) was also used as a gauge to evaluate the GFA in Zr35-xTi30Cu7.5Be27.5Agx alloys.     

Effect of Sn addition on the glass-forming ability and mechanical properties of Ni-Nb-Zr bulk metallic glasses

The effect of tin (Sn) addition on the glass forming ability (GFA) and mechanical properties of the Ni-Nb-Zr ternary alloy system has been studied. The addition of Sn improves the GFA; Ni61Nb35.5-xZr3.5Snx (in at.%) alloys with x=1 can be cast into amorphous samples at least 3 mm in diameter using a copper mold injection-casting method. The critical size for glass formation decreases to 2 mm when x=5 because Ni2SnZr phase precipitates readily. The addition of Sn is also effective in enhancing the stability ...     

Influence of B,Al and Nb addition on the glass forming ability and stability of mechanically alloyed Zr-Ni amorphous alloys

We investigated the influence of minor additions of B,Al and Nb that have representative atomic sizes on the glass forming ability (GFA) and stability of Zr-Ni amorphous alloys during mechanical alloying. The results show that the minor addition of B,Al or Nb does not shorten the initial time of the full amorphization reaction or improve the glass forming ability of the Zr-Ni alloys at a low rotation speed. However,B addition can effectively improve the mechanical stability of the amorphous phase against me...     

Effect of Ni addition on the glass-forming ability and soft-magnetic properties of FeNiBPNb metallic glasses

The effect of Ni addition on the glass-forming ability (GFA) and soft-magnetic properties of an (Fe1-xNix)75.5B14.5P7Nb3 (x=0-0.6) alloy system were investigated. We found that the addition of Ni was effective in allowing the alloy to approach a eutectic point as well as increasing the thermal stability of the supercooled liquid. By increasing the amount of Ni,the supercooled liquid region (ΔTx),the reduced glass transition temperature Trg (Tg/Tl) and the Y parameter [Tx/(Tg+Tl)] increased from 49 to 75 K,0...     

语文能力与辞章研究--以"多"、"二"、"一(0)"的螺旋结构作考察

语文的能力是出之于先天(先验)的,而辞章的研究是成之于后天(后验)的;前者乃就顺向的创作(写)而言,所呈现的是"(0)一、二、多"的逻辑结构;后者却就逆向的批评(读)来说,所呈现的是"多、二、一(0)"的逻辑结构。通常,语文的能力,含"一般能力"、"特殊能力"与"综合能力"等;而辞章的研究,如对应于能力,则主要含意象(狭义)、词汇、修辞、文(语)法、章法、主题、风格等。由于前者应用于"由意而象"(写)的顺向过程,而后者则着眼于"由象而意"(读)的逆向过程;再加上"形象"、"逻辑"与"综合"三种思维之牵合,使得先天能力得以因与后天研究接轨而一一确认,而后天研究也得以因与先天能力接轨而回归生命。由此可证明两者始终是顺逆对应、融贯为一,而形成"多"、"二"、"一(0)"的螺旋结构的。
