This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The endeavours made in this book are intended to study the effect of material tailoring on the crystallization behaviour, glass forming ability and structure/microstructure of Zr/Cu-based metallic glasses and nanoquasicrystal-glass composites. The substitution of Ga on Al site in Zr-Al-Cu-Ni alloy affects the nucleation and growth characteristics of quasicrystals and consequently changes the morphology of nanoquasicrystals. A new metallic glass composition; Zr-Ga-Cu-Ni with glass transition temperature (Tg); 614 K has been observed. The addition of Ti destabilizes the glassy phase in (Zr-Al-Cu-Ni)Ti alloys. Formation of single quasicrystalline phase by annealing the glass has been found for the alloys. The size of quasicrystal grain decreases with increase of Ti. Rapidly solidified ribbons of Cu-Ga-Mg-Ti and Cu-Al-Mg-Ti alloys show the formation of -brass type phase, which is an approximant of quasicrystals. The Cu-Ga-Mg-Ti alloy display ordered -brass structure, whereas Cu-Al-Mg-Ti leads to the formation of amorphous and nanocrystalline disordered bcc -brass phase. Electron diffraction patterns have been found to show a close structural similarity with the icosahedral phase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metallic glasses and amorphous materials have attracted much more attention in the last two decades. A noncrystalline solid produced by continuous cooling from the liquid state is known as a glass. From the other point of view, a noncrystalline material, obtained by any other process, for example, vapor deposition or solid-state processing methods such as mechanical alloying, but not directly from the liquid state, is referred to as an amorphous material. At this moment, bulk metallic glasses (BMG) are appearing as a new class of metallic materials with unique physical and mechanical properties for structural and functional usage. Extreme values of strength, fracture toughness, magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, and other properties have been registered in BMG materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present chapter, results of our recent investigations on the role of gallium (Ga) on the aluminum (Al) site in Zr69.5Al7.5-xGaxCu12Ni11 metallic glass (MG) composition have been discussed. The material tailoring and cooling rate effects on the mechanical behavior of Zr-based metallic glasses and their nanocomposites have been studied. The substitution of Ga on the Al site in Zr-Al-Cu-Ni alloy affects the nucleation and growth characteristics of quasicrystals (QCs) and consequently changes the morphology of nanoquasicrystals. The Zr69.5Al7.5-xGaxCu12Ni11 system displayed metallic glass formation in the range of x = 0-7.5. In this process, we have come out with a new glass composition; Zr-Ga-Cu-Ni with glass transition temperature (Tg)-614 K. The effect of cooling rate on the glass forming ability (GFA) and mechanical properties for this new metallic glass composition has been discussed and compared with some other Zr-based metallic glasses. The various indentation parameters such as microhardness, yield strength, strain hardening constant, nature of shear band formation, and so on for the alloys have been analyzed. The study is focused on investigations of these materials to understand the structure (microstructure) property correlations.

Download or read book Supercooled Liquids Glass Transition and Bulk Metallic Glasses Volume 754 written by Takeshi Egami and published by . This book was released on 2003-07-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a renaissance in glass science brought about by the development of concepts such as fragility index and the energy landscape with megabasins. Research on bulk metallic glasses has been explosive since their advent when MRS offered its first book on the topic. In 2000, a second book broadened the scope to include supercooled liquid, bulk glassy and nanocrystalline states. This book enhances the scope to include glass transition in diverse materials such as water, silicate and polymeric melts. Bringing these threads together in an interdisciplinary manner was fruitful and offers proof that while there is much common ground, gaps between various approaches to the glassy state remain to be bridged. Subjects include: the supercooled liquid; glass formability; structural relaxation and dynamics; structure determination and modeling; processing and applications of bulk metallic glasses; mechanical properties; mechanical properties - composites; crystallization; electronic and magnetic structure and properties; and nanoparticles and nonmetallic glasses.

Download or read book Structure Evolution and Nano Mechanical Behavior of Bulk Metallic Glasses and Multi Principal Element Alloys written by Sanghita Mridha and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bulk metallic glasses and multi-principal element alloys represent relatively new classes of multi-component engineering materials designed for satisfying multiple functionalities simultaneously. Correlating the microstructure with mechanical behavior (at the microstructural length-scales) in these materials is key to understanding their performance. In this study, the structure evolution and nano-mechanical behavior of these two classes of materials was investigated with the objective of fundamental scientific understanding of their properties. The structure evolution, high temperature nano-mechanical behavior, and creep of two Zr-based alloys was studied: Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22 (Vitreloy1) and Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6All0 (Vitreloy105). Devitrification was found to proceed via the formation of a metastable icosahedral phase with five-fold symmetry. The deformation mechanism changes from inhomogeneous or serrated flow to homogenous flow near 0.9Tg, where Tg is the glass transition temperature. The creep activation energy for Vitreloy1 and Vitreloy105 were 144 kJ/mol and 125 kJ/mol, respectively in the range of room temperature to 0.75Tg. The apparent activation energy increased drastically to 192 kJ/mol for Vitreloy1 and 215 kJ/mol for Vitreloy105 in the range of 0.9Tg to Tg, indicating a change in creep mechanism. Structure evolution in catalytic amorphous alloys, Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5 and Pd43Cu27Ni10P20, was studied using 3D atom probe tomography and elemental segregation between different phases and the interface characteristics were identified. The structure evolution of three multi-principal element alloys were investigated namely CoCrNi, CoCrFeMnNi, and Al0.1CoCrFeNi. All three alloys formed a single-phase FCC structure in as-cast, cold worked and recrystallized state. No secondary phases precipitated after prolonged heat treatment or mechanical working. The multi-principal element alloys showed less strain gradient plasticity compared to pure metals like Ni during nano-indentation. This was attributed to the highly distorted lattice which resulted in lesser density of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs). Dislocation nucleation was studied by low load indentation along with the evaluation of activation volume and activation energy. This was done using a statistical approach of analyzing the "pop-in" load marking incipient plasticity. The strain rate sensitivity of nanocrystalline Al0.1CoCrFeNi alloy was determined by in situ compression of nano-pillars in a Pico-indenter. The nanocrystalline alloy demonstrated a yield strength of ̃ 2.4 GPa, ten times greater than its coarse grained counterpart. The nanocrystalline alloy exhibited high strain rate sensitivity index of 0.043 and activation volume of 5b3 suggesting grain boundary dislocation nucleation.
