A plastic Ni-free Zr-based bulk metallic glass with high specific strength and good corrosion properties in simulated body fluid

Corrosion Resistance and Electrocatalytic Properties of Metallic Glasses

“…Zr 56 Al 16 Co 28 metallic glass exhibits a decrease of passivation potential and an increasing of penetration rate with increasing heating temperature in Ringer's simulated body fluid at room temperature [33]. The corrosion parameters of some metallic glasses are summarized in the Table 1 [34][35][36][37][38][39]. It can be attained that the corrosion resistance of most metallic glasses after crystallized will decrease, as shown that the corrosion potential decreases and the corrosion current density increases relatively, suggesting that the passive films formed on the surface of the glassy alloy in the anodic process are protective and denser than those on the crystal alloys.…”

Metals for bone implants. Part 1. Powder metallurgy and implant rendering

“…The co-implanting of Cr and O in Mg has been studied [71]. Bulk metallic glass alloys, such as Ca-Mg-Zn show good degradation and material properties, however the narrow range in which their high temperature formation occurs may make it difficult to use additive manufacturing technologies [72][73][74][75].…”

Investigation of the mechanical properties and local structural evolution of Ti60Zr10Ta15Si15 bulk metallic glass during tensile deformation: a molecular dynamics study

“…Moreover, the Young's moduli of Ti-Zr-Ta-Si BMGs ($88 GPa) 11 are relatively close to that of human bone ($30 GPa) 12 when compared to 200 GPa and 106 GPa, respectively, for the 316 L stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V alloy which are commonly used in the current biomedical industry. 13 With Young's moduli closer to that of human bone, BMGs could prevent the occurrence of stress concentration at the interface between the BMG and the bone aer the implant. Thus, the Ti-Zr-Ta-Si alloys have great potential for biomedical implants.…”
