This review covers the background, discovery, characteristics, and applications of bulk glassy alloys, as well as recent topics regarding them. Applications of bulk glassy alloys have been expanding, particularly for Fe-based bulk glassy alloys, due to their unique properties, high glass-forming ability, and low cost. In the near future, the engineering importance of bulk glassy alloys is expected to increase steadily, and continuous interest in these novel metallic materials for basic science research is anticipated.展开更多

The glassy alloys exhibited high glass-formation ability when the element of Nb was added. Bulk glassy rod （Fe0.87Co0.13）68.5Gd3.5Nb3B25 with a diameter up to 3 mm was produced by copper mold casting. The size of the atom might play an important role in increasing glass-formation ability. The coercive force of glassy （Fe0.87Co0.13）71.5.xGd3.sNbxB25 （x=1.2, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4） alloys decreased after the addition of niobium element and was in the range of 1.5-2.9 A/m. The permeability spectrum of （Fe0.87Co0.13）70.3Gd3.5Nb1.5B25 glassy ribbon showed that the relaxation frequency （f0） was 6.1 MHz.展开更多

Experimental results indicate that after the repeated melting of the ingots at 1300 and 1580K, the glass transition temperature T_g increases from 686.4 to 690.7 and 696.8 K and the onsettemperature of crystallization T_x from 757.9 to 758.6 and 763.4 K, respectively, indicating thatthe thermal stability becomes higher after the repeated arc melting of the mother ingot and that itis more effective at higher temperature. Within the framework of structure heredity, the origin ofthe improvement of the thermal stability of Zr_(60)Al_+(15)Ni_(25) bulk glassy alloy is discussed.展开更多

The temperature interval of the supercooled liquid region before crystallization is above 37 K. The glass transition temperature ( T g) and the reduced glass transition temperature ( T g/ T l) of the cast bulk glassy Cu 60 Zr 30 Ti 10 alloy are 713 K and 0.62. The cast bulk glassy alloy, which has high glassy forming ability, shows expected mechanical properties. The elastic modulus, yield strength, fracture strength and elongation including elastic elongation are 114 GPa, 1 785 MPa, 2 150 MPa and 3.3% respectively in compressive deformation, and 112 GPa, 1 780 MPa, 2 000 MPa and 1.9% respectively in tensile deformation. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and nano beam electron diffraction (NBED) studies indicate that the cast metallic bulk glassy Cu 60 Zr 30 Ti 10 alloy consists of nanocrystals with a size of 4 nm embedded in glassy matrix. The nanoparticle is identified as CuZr and has point space group symmetry of pm3m and its lattice parameter is a =0.3 262 nm . The nanocrystalline phase grew up to 10 nm upon annealing at 430 ℃ for 10 min and caused the alloy brittle.展开更多
