Studies on Fe-Cr-Ni-Si-B Bulk Metallic Glass for Automotive Applications

Abstract:

Researches and developments were carried out for obtaining of bulk metallic glass (BMG) from the Fe-Cr-Ni-Si-B system. The used processing methods were copper mold casting and melt spinning method. The resulted materials are in form of sheets with sizes of 69.7 x 64 x 3/1.5 mm and of strips with thickness less than 50 microns, which were obtained by varying the melt spin technological parameters. The both processing variants are not suitable for obtaining such of alloy in bulk metallic glass form. Adding of zirconium to this alloy produces bulk metallic glasses only for the melt spin products. The DSC analysis emphases that the zirconium modified alloy processed by melt spinning method exhibits a high glass forming ability (GFA).
