Thermal parameters deduced from differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） indicate that the glass-forming ability （GFA） of Pr60Ni30Al10 BMA rod is far higher than that of Al87Ni10Pr3 ribbon. A comparative study about the differences in structure between the two kinds of glass-forming alloys, superheated viscosity and crystallization are also made. Compared with the amorphous alloy Al87Ni10Pr3, the BMA alloy Pr60Ni30Al10 shows high thermal stability and large viscosity, small diffusivity at the same superheated temperatures. The results of x-Ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） show the pronounced difference in structure between the two amorphous alloys. Together with crystallization results, the main structure compositions of the amorphous samples are confirmed. It seems that the higher the GFA, the more topological type clusters in the Pr-Ni-Al amorphous alloys, the GFAs of the present glass-forming alloys are closely related to their structures.展开更多

The results indicate that with the aluminium addition, the crystallizing behavior of the melt changes at the same cooling rate, and the crystallizing behavior of the glass changes at the same heating rate. The glass transition temperature(T_g), crystallization temperature(T_ x1), temperature interval of supercooled liquid region ΔT_x (=T_ x1-T_g) and reduced glass transition temperature (T_ rg) are proved to be changed from 672K, 734K, 62K and 0.578 to 681K, 729K, 48K and 0.590, respectively. Because of the addition of aluminium, three point-bending flexural strength and flexural modulus of the bulk glass are increased from 2350MPa and 102GPa to 2970MPa and 108GPa, respectively.展开更多

With minor alloying of Si and Al additions, the glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Txl) and temperature interval of supercooled liquid region△Tx (=Txl-Tg) and reduced glass transition temperature (Trg) were proved to be changed from 672 K, 734 K, 62 K, 0.575 to 691 K, 752 K, 61 K, 0.592 and to 681 K, 729 K, 48 K, 0.590, respectively. The results indicate that the glass-forming ability (GFA) are improved with minor alloying additions. And the bulk glasses also exhibits high three point-bending flexural strength. Because of the additions of Si and Al, three point-bending flexural strength and flexural modulus of the bulk glass change from 2 350 MPa, 102 GPa to 3 260 MPa, 102 GPa and 2 970 MPa, 108GPa respectively. The obvious strengthening is due to the appearance of the medium-range ordered regions with a size of 2-5 nm under the high-resolution TEM image. The reason that the mixed amorphous and nanocrystalline phases caused by minor alloying of Si and Al additions, is that Si or Al is the third kind of elements, which are different from other constituting elements, and there are a strong bonding and atoms size effects between constituting elements, which cause the glass-forming ability (GFA) and the bulk metallic glasses strength improving.展开更多

Comprehensive numerical calculations using MSCRO software were conducted to obtain the composition dependence of the MCSRO undercooling in Zr Ni Cu, Zr Si Cu and Pd Si Cu ternary systems. By the MCSRO undercooling principle, the composition range of Zr Ni Cu system with optimum GFA is determined to be 62.5 ～ 75 Zr, 5～ 20 Cu, 12.5 ～ 25 Ni ( n (Ni)/ n (Cu)=1～5). The TTT curves of Zr Ni Cu system were also calculated based on the MCSRO model. The critical cooling rates for Zr based alloy with deep MSCRO undercooling are estimated to be as low as 100?K/s, which is consistent with the practical cooling rate in the preparation of Zr based bulk metallic glass (BMG). The calculation also illustrates that the easy glass forming systems such as Pd based alloys exhibit an extraordinary deep MCSRO undercooling. It is shown that the thermodynamic model of MCSRO provides an effective method for the alloy designing of BMG.展开更多
