Formation, microstructure and mechanical properties of ductile Zr-rich Zr–Cu–Al bulk metallic glass composites

We examined the microstructure, phase stability, mechanical properties and deformation behaviors of cast (Zr0.58Cu0.42)100-xAlx (x = 0, 3, 5, 7, 10) bulk metallic glass composites (BMGCs). With increasing Al content, the glass-forming ability of the new Zr-rich Zr–Cu–Al alloys gradually increases, e...
