Abstract
The effects of partially substituting Al for Cu in Zr59.62Cu18.4-xNi12Al6+xNb3Hf0.78Y0.2 (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 at.%) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) on their glass-forming ability (GFA), [...] Read more.
The effects of partially substituting Al for Cu in Zr59.62Cu18.4-xNi12Al6+xNb3Hf0.78Y0.2 (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 at.%) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) on their glass-forming ability (GFA), quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties, and energy characteristics were investigated. The results showed that an appropriate substitution of Al for Cu can improve GFA and reach a critical casting size up to 10 mm. Additionally, with Al replacement of Cu, the change in the distribution and content of free volume inside the BMGs was the main reason for the quasi-static compression plasticity. In contrast, the BMGs exhibited no plasticity during dynamic compression and high-speed impact, owing to the short loading time and thermal softening effect. In terms of energy characteristics, all alloys have a high combustion enthalpy. And on the surface of the fragments collected from impact, the active elements Zr, Al, and Nb reacted because of the adiabatic temperature rise. Further, x = 4 at.% Zr-based BMG with its superior overall performance could penetrate a 6 mm Q235 plate at a speed of 1038 m/s, combining excellent mechanical properties and energy characteristics. This study contributes to the development of Zr-based BMGs as novel energetic structural materials. Full article

Abstract
The poor thermoplastic formability of reactive Zr-based bulk metallic glass becomes the main limiting factor for replacing the noble-metal-based and Be-rich bulk metallic glasses in nanostructure fabrication. In our work, a (Zr50.7Cu28Ni9Al12.3)98.5Y1.5 [...] Read more.
The poor thermoplastic formability of reactive Zr-based bulk metallic glass becomes the main limiting factor for replacing the noble-metal-based and Be-rich bulk metallic glasses in nanostructure fabrication. In our work, a (Zr50.7Cu28Ni9Al12.3)98.5Y1.5 bulk metallic glass with good thermoplastic formability has been developed by alloying, where Y addition enlarges the processing window and decreases the viscous resistance of supercooled liquid caused by the high free volume density. The prepared Zr-Cu-Ni-Al-Y bulk metallic glass nanostructure retains the amorphous characteristic and generates the complex oxidization products in the surface layer. The enhanced hydrophilicity of the as-embossed surface follows a Wenzel-impregnating wetting regime, and it can be attributed to the large roughness coefficient induced by the capillary effect. This study provides a low-cost and environmentally friendly bulk metallic glass system to manufacture the nanostructure with a broad prospect in the field of electrocatalysis. Full article

Abstract
In this work, the fatigue behavior of a low-cost Zr58Cu15.46Ni12.74Al10.34Nb2.76Y0.5 (at%) bulk metallic glass (BMG) fabricated by industrial-grade Zirconium raw material was investigated under three-point bending loading mode. X-ray, fatigue tests under [...] Read more.
In this work, the fatigue behavior of a low-cost Zr58Cu15.46Ni12.74Al10.34Nb2.76Y0.5 (at%) bulk metallic glass (BMG) fabricated by industrial-grade Zirconium raw material was investigated under three-point bending loading mode. X-ray, fatigue tests under different stress amplitude and fatigue fractography were conducted in order to characterize the amorphous structure, fatigue stress-life (S-N) curve and fracture mechanism, respectively. It is found that the X-ray diffraction (XRD) result showed a fully amorphous structure due to high glass-forming ability, cracks initiated from inclusions near the rectangular corners at tensile surfaces and the fatigue endurance limit (~168 MPa) and fatigue ratio (~0.13) termed as fatigue endurance limit divided by ultimate tensile strength in stress amplitude were comparable to the similar BMG prepared by high pure raw materials.
