“…11 Das et al 12 reported that both Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 BMGs exhibit good compressive ductility at room temperature. Most strikingly, the Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 BMGs exhibit "strain hardening" effects during the compressive tests, which were not expected for the BMG alloys since there is no dislocation activities in the amorphous structure. Strain hardening is a desirable factor for the prevention of the strain localization.…”

By employing a containerless high-temperature high-vacuum electrostatic levitation technique, the thermophysical properties, including the ratio between the specific heat capacity and the hemispherical total emissivity, the specific volume, and the viscosity, of Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 bulk-metallic-glass ͑BMG͒-forming liquids have been measured. Compared with Cu 50 Zr 50 , the improved glass-forming ability of ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 can be attributed to its dense liquid structure and its high value of viscosity. Additionally, the relationship between the viscosity of various BMG forming liquids at the melting temperature and the elastic properties of the corresponding glasses at room temperature will be compared. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. ͓DOI: 10.1063/1.2408634͔The processing, the thermophysical, and mechanical properties of low-cost Cu-based bulk-metallic glasses ͑BMGs͒ have been intensively studied recently. [1][2][3][4][5] The Cubased BMGs exhibit extraordinarily high strength and good compressive ductility, which are comparable with the Zrbased BMGs. In order to frustrate the crystal formation during the copper-mold casting process, previous studies indicate that BMG alloys should typically consist of at least three components, which have varying atomic sizes. 6 However, it was reported recently that binary Cu-Zr alloys can be cast into bulk amorphous structures with sample diameters up to 2 mm. 7-10 Subsequent studies reveal that small amounts of Al additions ͑several at. %͒ further increase its glass-forming ability ͑GFA͒ in the ternary Cu-Zr-Al alloys. 11 Das et al. 12 reported that both Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 BMGs exhibit good compressive ductility at room temperature. Most strikingly, the Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 BMGs exhibit "strain hardening" effects during the compressive tests, which were not expected for the BMG alloys since there is no dislocation activities in the amorphous structure. Strain hardening is a desirable factor for the prevention of the strain localization. Nevertheless, the localized deformation within the shear bands was still primarily responsible for the observed plasticity in both Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 BMGs. 12 Therefore, the precise mechanisms responsible for the plastic deformation of the Cu 50 Zr 50 and ͑Cu 50 Zr 50 ͒ 95 Al 5 BMGs require further investigations. 13,14 Recently, it was reported that the ductility of BMGs was closely related to their Poisson's ratio. [15][16][17] For example, Ptbased BMG with high Poisson's ratio of about 0.41 shows an excellent compressive ductility. 15 Nivikov and Sokolov 18 reported that Poisson's ratio of a glass at room temperature correlates with the fragility of liquids at high temperature. This correlation was recently challenged by Yannopoulos and Johari 19 by compiling extensive experimental data covering various glass-forming systems. In this letter, in an effort to further understand the relationship between the fragility and the elastic properties of glass-...

“…Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with each size of minimum 1 mm have been synthesised in many ferrous and non-ferrous systems which satisfy the above mentioned rules [1,[3][4][5][6]. Among BMGs, Cu-based systems are very attractive for engineering applications due to a high glass forming ability and a high strength at a relatively low cost of constituent elements compared to other glass forming systems [7][8][9].…”

The effects of iron additions on the structure of (Cu0.47Ti0.34Zr0.11Ni0.08)100−xFex (x = 0, 1.5, 3, 6) glass forming system are presented. The alloys were synthesized by arc melting of high purity elements and melt spun to form rapidly quenched ribbons. X-ray diffraction studies showed the amorphous structure of the base and Fe-containing alloys, confirmed by the presence of exothermic peaks on differential scanning calorimetry curves. Bulk samples in the form of rods (Φ3 × 55 mm) were cast using a suction casting unit attached to the arc melter. Structural investigations revealed partial crystallization of the base Cu47Ti34Zr11Ni8 alloy. Iron additions significantly decreased the glass forming ability of the alloy, leading to primary crystallization of dendrites.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Among the bulk glassforming alloys, Cu-based BMGs were recognized to be a promising structural materials due to relatively high strength, good ductility and low cost, and the maximum diameter is reported to be 10 mm for Cu 46 Zr 42 Al 7 Y 5 and Cu 44:25 Ag 14:75 -Zr 36 Ti 5 alloys. 2,7) It is well known that binary Cu 50 Zr 50 alloy has a good glass-forming ability (GFA). 8) We further found that the x ¼ 7:5 is the best glass-forming composition in (Cu 0:5 Zr 0:5 ) 100Àx Al x system, and the glassy rod with a diameter of 7 mm can be formed.…”
