摘要
An open-cell porous bulk metallic glass （BMG） with a diameter of at least 6 mm was fabricated by using an U-turn quartz tube and infiltration casting around soluble NaCI placeholders. The pore formation and glassy structure were examined by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results show that the pores or cells are connected to each other and the specimen is composed of a mostly glassy phase. This paper provides a suitable method for fabrication of porous BMG and BMG with larger size in diameter.
