Ta wires distribute uniformly in the metallic glass matrix in the form of spirals. The composite exhibits two yield stages under compressive stress, and the samples are compressed into thin pancakes. The micro-cracks originate at the interface between the Ta wire and the metallic glass matrix and propagate perpendicularly to the interface, which then induce multiple shear bands in the metallic glass matrix due to the stress concentration. Shear cracks form in the metallic glass matrix during the continued loading process as a result of the interaction of shear bands. Deformation bands of Ta wires occur under the impact of shear bands. The local stress fields in the composite are changed obviously due to the introduction of the spiral-formed reinforcements. The investigation of the deformation behavior and mechanism suggests a new method for the application of bulk metallic glass composites as the structural materials.展开更多

X-ray diffraction con-firmed that Ti-added Zr51.3All0Ni6Cu31.8Ag0.lY0.8 metallic glasses with diameter of 3 mm were all metallic glasses. Weight loss and electrochemical method were introduced to characterize their corrosion resistance, and X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy study was used t9 characterize the passive film composition. The results show that the corrosion resistance of metallic glass is significantly improved with Ti addition, and Zr dioxides dominate in passive film during corrosion when Ti content is low. High Ti addition can lead to an obvious accumulation of Ti dioxides, which results in a thicker, Ti-enriched protective passive film.展开更多
