Thermoplasticity of metallic glasses: Processing and applications

Antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and thermomechanical stability of Ti40Zr10Cu36Pd14 bulk metallic glass

“…This allows for a net-shape process, where the BMG behaves like a plastic [ [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] ]. It means, the sluggish crystallization kinetics in the SCLR confers a promising net-shape processing route, by which the material can be deformed within a much longer time window [ 35 , 36 , 47 ]. In this regard, the structural relaxation and crystallization behavior of glasses exposed to thermomechanical driving forces merit in-depth exploration.…”

“…It possesses, in comparison to Ti–6Al–4V, higher strength and lower Young's modulus, which is beneficial in reducing the stress-shielding effect [ [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ]. Moreover, metallic glasses show extensive plastic-like processability when heated to elevated temperatures [ 35 , 36 ]. These properties motivated us to study Ti 40 Zr 10 Cu 36 Pd 14 BMG further.…”

Laser-based additive manufacturing of bulk metallic glasses: recent advances and future perspectives for biomedical applications

“…The strain rate and stresses of the bulk Cu-Zr MGs is indicated by the yellow solid ellipse while the yield strain and strength are of the small MGs is donated by the green square solid. The measured fracture strength and the fracture strain are presented by the blue open diamond [22,39] J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f yield strength [40] Currently, BMGs are conventionally processed through various metallurgical processing routes like powder metallurgy [41][42][43][44][45][46], rapid cooling of liquid melts [40,[47][48][49], melt spinning [50,51], magnetron sputtering [52][53][54], pulsed laser quenching [55,56], liquid splat quenching [57], electro-discharge machining/coating [58][59][60][61][62][63][64], and thermoplastic forming [65,66]. It has to be noted that, melt spinning and thermoplastic forming are currently well-established BMG processing techniques.…”

Achieving Superhydrophobicity of Zr-Based Metallic Glass Surfaces with Tunable Adhesion by Nanosecond Laser Ablation and Annealing

“…Due to the difference in atomic arrangement compared to that of conventional alloys and metals, metallic glasses (MGs) possess unique mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, − and thus are considered promising structural and functional materials. Achieving superhydrophobicity of MG surfaces with tunable adhesion is important to broaden their functional applications.…”
