Abstract
Bulk glassy Ni-based alloys with high fracture strength exceeding 2700 MPa were prepared in Ni60Nb40−x−yTixZry system by copper mold casting. The glassy alloys with distinct glass transition were obtained in the wide composition range from 0 to 35%Ti and 0 to 30%Zr and the largest supercooled liquid region before crystallization was 76 K for Ni60Nb15Ti10Zr15. The maximum diameter was 2 mm for Ni60Nb20Ti15Zr5 and the glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tx) and reduced glass transition temperature (Tg⁄Tl) of the bulk glassy alloy were 841 K, 898 K and 0.61, respectively. The Young’s modulus (E), compressive fracture strength (σc,f) and compressive fracture elongation (εc,f) were 156 GPa, 2770 MPa and 2.4%, respectively, for the bulk alloy. There is a tendency for fracture strength to increase with increasing E, Tg and liquidus temperature (Tl). It is therefore interpreted that the high strength is due to strong bonding nature among the constituent elements.Keywords
