Abstract:Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) surpass the strength of steels and possess the elasticity and formability of polymers. The key to obtain these properties is to conserve the amorphous structure of a metallic melt and avoid crystallization during processing. In this work, a change in the crystallization sequence in the widely used BMG Zr 52.5 Cu 17.9 Ni 14.6 Al 10 Ti 5 (Vit105) upon the addition of sulfur (Zr 51.45 Cu 17.54 Ni 14.31 Al 9.8 Ti 4.9 S 2 ; Vit105 S 2 ) is revealed by in situ high-energy x-ray diffracti… Show more
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.
