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...

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, enabling the fabrication of BMGCs for the alloys containing more than 3 at.% Al. The as-cast structure changes from Cu10Zr7 + CuZr2 for the Al-free base alloy to glass + crystal for the Al-added alloys. The new Zr-rich Zr–Cu–Al BMGCs exhibit a large fracture strain of ∼3.4–7.8% and a high fracture strength of ∼1731–1984 MPa under compression. The compressive fracture strain of Zr-rich Zr–Cu–Al alloys can be explained by the percolation theory. The (Zr0.58Cu0.42)95Al5 composite containing ∼70 vol.% crystalline phase possesses the largest plastic strain of ∼6%, and fracture strength of over 1900 MPa under compressive condition.
