Effect of Alloy Composition on the Glass Forming Ability in Ca-Mg-Zn Alloy System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of alloy composition on the glass forming ability (GFA) of the Ca-Zn-Mg alloys has been investigated in the present study. The alloy compositions investigated are near Ca-rich ternary eutectic composition; Ca60Mg15Zn25, Ca65Mg10Zn25, Ca65Mg15Zn20, Ca65Mg20Zn15, and Ca70Mg15Zn15. Bulk metallic glass (BMG) samples with the diameter larger than 5 mm are fabricated by conventional copper mold casting method in air atmosphere. Among the parameters representing the glass forming ability, Trg and γ parameters exhibit good correlation with the maximum diameter of the fully amorphous structure in the alloy compositions investigated in the present study.
