The poor plasticity of amorphous metal at room temperature has proved to be one of the biggest obstacles for its widespread application as structural components. In present study, the experimental samples were prepared by suction-casting and high vacuum die-casting with Zr 54.6 Ti 13.8 Cu 9.3 Ni 5.8 Be 13.5 Nb 3 (at. %) to discuss the effect of the oxygen content and cooling rate on the plasticity of amorphous metal respectively. The results indicate that dendrite with appropriate dimension and fraction can be obtained by adjusting oxygen content so as to improve the plasticity of metallic glasses. Likewise, the appropriate cooling rate even above the critical cooling rate can also be quite effective to make the brittle metallic glasses obtain high plasticity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
