“…% CO2, imposes an extremely low oxygen partial pressure of pO2≈ 10 -41 bar, at a total gas pressure of 1 bar. This extremely low pO2 was applied to avoid the formation of a porous non-homogenous outer oxidized network as was observed in previous studies at higher pO2 [24][25]. It is noted that the applied gas mixture applies a carbon activity of 2.8×10 5 (reference: graphite at 1 atm).…”

“…Recent investigations suggest that surface hardening by low-temperature gaseous oxidizing of ZrCuAl-based BMG in a controlled atmosphere is feasible [24]. Applying a high oxygen partial pressure (pO2), it was demonstrated that the dissolution of oxygen into the surface zone of the BMG results in the formation of internal and outer oxidation zones.…”

Improving the Tribological Properties and Biocompatibility of Zr-Based Bulk Metallic Glass for Potential Biomedical Applications

Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (Zr-BMGs) are potentially the next generation of metallic biomaterials for orthopaedic fixation devices and joint implants owing to their attractive bulk material properties. However, their poor tribological properties and long-term biocompatibility present major concerns for orthopaedic applications. To this end, a novel surface modification technology, based on ceramic conversion treatment (CCT) in an oxidising medium between the glass transition temperature and the crystallisation temperature, has been developed to convert the surface of commercially available Zr44Ti11Cu10Ni11Be25 (Vitreloy 1b) BMG into ceramic layers. The engineered surfaces were fully characterised by in-situ X-ray diffraction, glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The mechanical, chemical, and tribological properties were evaluated respectively by nano-indentation, electrochemical corrosion testing, tribological testing and the potential biocompatibility assessed by a cell proliferation assay. The results have demonstrated that after CCT at 350 °C for 40 h and at 380 °C for 4.5 h the original surfaces were converted into to a uniform 35–55-nm-thick oxide layer (with significantly reduced Ni and Cu concentration) followed by a 200–400-nm-thick oxygen-diffusion hardened case. The surface nano hardness was increased from 7.75 ± 0.36 to 18.32 ± 0.21 GPa, the coefficient of friction reduced from 0.5–0.6 to 0.1–0.2 and the wear resistance improved by more than 60 times. After 24 h of contact, SAOS-2 human osteoblast-like cells had increased surface coverage from 18% for the untreated surface to 46% and 54% for the 350 °C/40 h and 380 °C/4.5 h treated surfaces, respectively. The significantly improved tribological properties and biocompatibility have shown the potential of the ceramic conversion treated Zr-BMG for orthopaedic applications.

Influence of Oxidation on Structure, Performance, and Application of Metallic Glasses

Owing to their unique structure and outstanding properties, metallic glasses are a novel class of structural and functional materials with vast application prospects. However, the metastable amorphous structures and chemical activity of metallic glass constituent elements lead to frequent oxidation during preparation, processing, and application. Comprehensively understanding the oxidation behaviors and underlying mechanisms of metallic glasses is essential for gaining knowledge of metallic glass structures and properties and for promoting engineering applications. Although many studies have examined these issues, more investigations are still required to explore potential industrial applications of metallic glasses. Here, recent research on metallic glass oxidation is consolidated by summarizing the oxidation influence on metallic glass structure, performance, and application and the possibilities and feasibility of oxidizing metallic glasses to reinforce materials or develop material systems are discussed.
