Effect of Ag content on thermal stability and crystallization behavior of Zr–Cu–Ni–Al–Ag bulk metallic glass

Self-repair by stress-induced diffusion of noble elements during oxidation of Zr48Cu36Al8Ag8 bulk metallic glass

“…Among metallic glasses, in particular the Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) possess a desirable combination of properties and high glass-forming ability (GFA), which makes them attractive for potential exploitation in various structural engineering applications [4,7,8]. Hitherto, most studies have focused on enhancing the plasticity [9][10][11][12], thermal stability [13][14] and GFA [15][16] of BMGs to improve their functional capabilities.…”

Glass Forming Ability and Corrosion Resistance of Zr-Cu-Ni-Al-Ag Bulk Metallic Glass

“…In addition, the Ag addition can effectively improve the thermal stability. The enhancement of thermal stability for the alloy is due to suppressing the redistribution of components to form the I-phase by partial substitution of Zr with Ag [29]. Based on the DSC and DTA curves, variations of the glass transition temperature (T g ) and the crystallization onset temperature (T x ), the supercooled liquid region (∆T x = T x − T g ), the reduced glass transition temperature (T rg = T g /T l ), and the parameter γ = T x /(T g + T l ) with respect to Ag content are presented in Figure 6.…”

“…In addition, the Ag addition can effectively improve the thermal stability. The enhancement of thermal stability for the alloy is due to suppressing the redistribution of components to form the I-phase by partial substitution of Zr with Ag [29]. The corrosion behaviors of Zr70−xCu12.5Ni10Al7.5Agx alloys were characterized by electrochemical polarization in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution open to air at 298 K. The polarization curves of the alloys with different Ag contents are shown in Figure 7.…”
