The results show that the m values of the Zr-Al-Ni-Cu BMGs derived by Arrhenius equation are in agreement with the corresponding m values derived by VFT equation. These Zr-Al-Ni-Cu BMGs characterize in low m values. The low m values for these BMGs would be due to their network microstructures. In addition, the m values of Zr-Al-Cu-Ni BMGs could be obtained by regulating Zr content. The composition of Zr-Al-Cu-Ni BMGs with the lowest m value would be near 54%Zr (mole fraction) because the m value about 13 of Zr 54 Al 13 Cu 18 Ni 15 BMG is the lowest among these Zr-Al-Ni-Cu BMGs developed.展开更多

The experimental results show that the corrosion resistance of Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys can not be considered to be excellent at any situation, whereas it is affected by many factors such as the kind of corrosive medium, solution concentration and the alloy composition. It is found that Zr-Al-Ni-Cu bulk amorphous alloys are seriously corroded in HCl solution in comparison with their excellent corrosion resistance at other acid, alkali and salt circumstances for passivating. Its resistance ability against the chlorine ion induced pitting corrosion can be greatly improved by the addition of Nb element.展开更多

Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30-xTax (x=1, 2,4) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with 3.5 mm diameter and 70 mm length were successfully prepared by using combined jet and copper mold casting. A small amount of Ta addition does not change the glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature, and supercooled liquid region obviously, but Ta promotes composition separation and two-stage crystallization. The stable crystalline phases include Zr2Ni, CuZr2, Al2Zr3 intermetallic compounds and Ta-rich solid solution after annealing the Zr-Al-Ni-Cu-Ta alloys at 753 K. Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30-xTax (x=1,2,4) bulk glassy alloys exhibit a better compressive strength. The stress-strain curve shows a zigzag feature, and the fracture surface shows intersecting of shear bands. It may correlate with the inhomogeneous feature of amorphous structure.展开更多

The effect of homogenization treatment on the microstructures and tensile properties were investigated by OM, SEM and EDS.

Grain-boundary becomes coarser firstly and then thinner under different homogenizing condition and grain coarsening were observed. The solute elements content of Zn inside grains has a peak at 490 ℃ /2 h, and Cu element, which was solved into matrix, can enhance the matrix hardness obviously during homogenization. The suitable homogenizing treatment is 460~490 °C/2 h for the hot extrusion of the studied alloy; after the optimized solid solution and T6 aging, the highest ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is 858 MPa with a ductility of 4.8%.展开更多
