Abstract
Composite alloys of ( Mg 0.65 Cu 0.075 Ni 0.075 Zn 0.05 Ag 0.05 Y 0.1 ) 100−x Fe x (x=9 and 13) have been produced through copper mold casting, based on a good bulk metallic glass former. Upon cooling the melt, an α-Fe solid solution precipitates uniformly with sizes in the 1–10 μm range while the remaining melt undergoes a glass transition. The in situcomposite has a compressive strength as high as ∼1 GPa , a factor of 1.6 higher than the single-phase metallic glass. In contrast to all the previous Mg-based monolithic glasses that always fail in the elastic regime, a plastic strain to failure of the order of 1% was obtained for the Fe-toughened composite.Keywords
