Abstract: | Refractory bulk metallic glasses and bulk metallic glass composites are formed in quaternary Ni-Nb-Ta-Sn alloy system. Alloys of composition Ni60(Nb100−xTax)34Sn6 (x = 20, 40, 60, 80) alloys were prepared by injection-casting the molten alloys into copper molds. Glassy alloys are formed in the thickness of half mm strips. With thicker strips (e.g., 1 mm), Nb2O5 and Ni3Sn phases and the amorphous phase form an in situ composite. Glass transition temperatures, crystallization temperatures, and ΔTx, defined as Tx1 − Tg (Tx1: first crystallization temperature, Tg: glass transition temperature) of the alloys increase dramatically with increasing Ta contents. These refractory bulk amorphous alloys exhibit high Young’s modulus (155-170 GPa), shear modulus (56-63 GPa), and estimated yield strength (3-3.6 GPa). |
