The compositions of current metallic glasses are designed to ensure glass formation, and they can be far from optimal for intended applications. The composition changes needed to …
The four Mg-based bulk metallic glass forming alloys Mg 59.5 Cu 22.9 Ag 6.6 Gd 11, Mg 61 Cu 28 Gd 11, Mg 54 Cu 28 Ag 7 Y 11, and Mg 65 Cu 25 Y 10 are investigated to gain insight …
Abstract The composition Au 49 Ag 5.5 Pd 2.3 Cu 26.9 Si 16.3 (at.%) is of interest as the basis for the development of gold-based bulk metallic glasses for application in jewellery. In …
Effective strategies to improve the tarnishing resistance of the 18 K (karat) gold-based bulk glass-forming composition Au 49 Ag 5.5 Pd 2.3 Cu 26.9 Si 16.3 were recently found, with the …
The effect of sulfur on the glass forming ability, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the eutectic alloy Ti 33.4 Zr 33.3 Cu 33.3 was investigated by conventional X-ray diffraction …
For application in luxury goods, attractive features of bulk metallic glasses include good surface finish, high hardness and thermoplastic formability. Concerns include their scratch …
New bulk glass-forming alloy compositions, exceeding a critical casting thickness of 1 mm, are developed in the (quasi-ternary)(Ti, Zr)–(Ni, Cu)–S system. The ternary eutectic …
Cu-Mg binary alloys consist of a relatively simple mixture of eutectic reactions (L➔ fcc Cu+ MgCu 2). Since they have different color, ie, the copper with L*= 86, a*= 14, b*= 16 and the …
