In this paper, we prepare the alloys of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5, Zr44.4Ti14.8Cu14.3Ni11.5Be15, and Zr38Ti12.7Cu9.6Ni7.7Be32 to show the effects of alloy composition on the inhomogeneity structures and mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Compared with the best glass former Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5, some nanoscale inhomogeneity structures can be induced by shifting the compositions towards a primary phase in the alloys of Zr44.4Ti14.8Cu14.3Ni11.5Be15 and Zr38Ti12.7Cu9.6Ni7.7Be32. The room temperature compression tests reveal that theBMGs contained nanoscale inhomogeneity structures exhibit superior mechanical properties with the high strength of 1780 MPa and especially a remarkable plastic strain of over 9%. These findings provide a new perspective to enhance the ductility of BMGs by introducing nanoscale inhomogeneity structures based on the phase competition strategy.

Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with minor addition of Ag, Au or Pt elements were prepared by copper mold casting. The Microstructure of the as-cast samples was examined by TEM. Nanoparticles identified as cubic Pd3Ti with crystal planes of (111), (200), (220) and (311) are observed in all the alloys modified by the minor addition of Ag, Au or Pt. The results revealed that the glassy/nanoparticle composited alloys exhibited high strength about 2000 MPa and plastic strain between 1.5-10% due to the inhibition of propagation of shear band.

Viscous flow behaviour of supercooled liquids and mechanical properties in Zr55+XCu30-XNi5Al10 (X=0, 5 and 10 at. %) and Zr65Cu18Ni7Al10 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have been examined. Viscosity has been measured by using a penetration viscometer at a high-speed heating rate of 400 K/min. With increasing Zr-content, Tg tended to decrease and Tx tended to increase, resulting Tx (=Tx-Tg) increaseing up to about 170 K under a heating rate of 400 K/min by the DSC analysis. The viscosity lowered about one order of magnitude, e.g., minimum value of the viscosity decreased from 3~4x106 Pa-s for the Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 and Zr60Cu25Ni5Al10 BMGs down to 5~6x105 Pa-s for the Zr65Cu20Ni5Al10 and Zr65Cu18Ni7Al10 BMGs under the same heating condition. Compression tests were also carried out at a slow strain rate of about 1 x 10-4 s-1 at room temperature. With increasing Zr-content, the apparent yield stress was decreased but the total strain at fracture was increased significantly, suggesting that there is a strong relationship between viscosity and the mechanical properties in these BMGs.

Glassy spherical samples in the diameters up to 10 mm were produced in a binary Pd-Si alloy system. These Pd-Si bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) combine high strength of about 1600 MPa and superplasticity of over 70% together. In addition to abundant micrometer-scale shear bands, 10–20 nanometer-sized shear bands were also observed on the side surface of the deformed sample. The excellent ductility shown by the Pd-Si BMGs is suggested to arise from the nanoscale structural inhomogeneity.

The paper presents the results of investigations on mechanical properties and electrochemical potential distribution within arc welded (TIG) and friction stir welded (FSW) joints subjected to slow strain rate tests. The materials investigated were high-strength 7xxx series (7020 and its modification 7020M) aluminum alloys intended for shipbuilding. The objectives were joint quality assessment and comparison of the advantages of new FSW method with the traditional TIG methods commonly utilized in shipbuilding industry. Joint quality was evaluated based on mechanical investigations, hardness distribution tests and simultaneous electrochemical corrosion potential measurements at various locations within the welded joints.Initiation of corrosion processes on TIG and FSW joints was identified as a radical decrease in corrosion potential related to load followed by oxide layer cracking. Arc welded (TIG) joints of 7xxx series alloys undergo corrosion at lower values of tensile load applied as compared to the FSW joints. Superior mechanical properties and higher corrosion resistance of the FSW joints make this technology well-suited for joining high-strength 7xxx series alloys.
