Abstract

We've made extensive efforts to develop metallic-glasses with large casting diameter. Such efforts were hindered by the poor understanding of glass formation mechanisms and the origin of the glass-forming ability (GFA) in metallic glass-forming systems. We have investigated relaxation dynamics of a model bulk glass-forming alloy system that shows the enhanced at first and then diminished GFA on increasing the percentage of micro-alloying. The micro-alloying did not have any significant impact on the thermodynamic properties. The GFA increasing on micro-alloying in this system cannot be explained by the present theoretical knowledge. Finally, our results indicate that atomic caging is the primary factor that influences the GFA. The composition dependence of the atomic caging time or residence time is found to be well correlated with GFA of the system.

Development of High Bs Fe-Ni Based Metal Amorphous Nanocomposite by Optimization of Glass Forming Ability

Conference Krimer, Yuval ; Barberis, Amelia ; McHenry, Michael E

A growing interest in electric vehicles challenges soft magnetic materials to improve efficiency and power density. Metal amorphous nanocomposites (MANCs) have lower coercivities and eddy current losses, allowing for greater efficiency and higher switching frequency. The later allows for high motor speeds and improved power density. However, commercially available and laboratory demonstrated MANCs have shortcomings. Fe-based MANCs, such as FINEMET have excellent magnetic properties, but mechanical properties limit their application in high speed electric motors (HSMs). Fe-Co based MANCs, such as HITPERM, have high saturation inductions and good mechanical properties, but elevated magnetostrictive losses. Co-based MANCs and more recent Fe-Nimore »« less

Beyond packing of hard spheres: The effects of core softness, non-additivity, intermediate-range repulsion, and many-body interactions on the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses

Journal Article Zhang, Kai ; Fan, Meng ; Liu, Yanhui ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

When a liquid is cooled well below its melting temperature at a rate that exceeds the critical cooling rate R{sub c}, the crystalline state is bypassed and a metastable, amorphous glassy state forms instead. R{sub c} (or the corresponding critical casting thickness d{sub c}) characterizes the glass-forming ability (GFA) of each material. While silica is an excellent glass-former with small R{sub c} < 10{sup −2} K/s, pure metals and most alloys are typically poor glass-formers with large R{sub c} > 10{sup 10} K/s. Only in the past thirty years have bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) been identified with R{sub c} approachingmore »« less

Effect of atomic configuration and liquid stability on the glass-forming ability of Ca-based metallic glasses

Journal Article Park, E S ; Kim, D H - Applied Physics Letters

In the present study, we report a Ca-Mg-Ni alloy exhibiting significantly improved glass-forming ability (GFA). The Ca{sub 60}Mg{sub 25}Ni{sub 15} bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a diameter of 13 mm is successfully fabricated by a conventional copper mold casting method in air atmosphere. The {delta}T{sub x}, T{sub rg}, K, and {gamma} parameters exhibit very poor correlation with the GFA. However, the {sigma} parameter exhibits a far better correlation with GFA, indicating that the liquid phase stability and atomic size mismatch dominantly affect the GFA of Ca-based ternary BMGs. The GFA of alkaline-earth-metal-based ternary BMGs such as Ca- and Mg-based BMGsmore »« less
