Bulk metallic glasses: fabrication, structure, and structural changes under heating
https://doi.org/10.17073/0021-3438-2015-6-43-52
Abstract
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) of Pd–Cu–Si and Pd–Ni–P system were formed from the melt in 1970s–1980s. However, in view of the extremely high cost of the main component (palladium), they were out of special interest for scientists and engineers for a long time. Relatively recently, BMGs in a form of macroscopic-size ingots here fabricated in alloys based on industrial metals (iron, copper, magnesium, and titanium), which opened wide possibilities for their application. BMGs possess high strength, hardness, wear resistance, elastic deformation, and corrosion resistance. In this study, a review of publications is presented and main scientific achievements in this field are described. It is noted that main scientific problems, which are not solved completely, are the description of the BMG structure as well as vitrification and plastic deformation, while the technical problem, which attracts attention of scientists in many countries, is an increase in plasticity and impact fracture toughness of these materials.
