Development of nano/micro forming and evaluation technology of Zr-base bulk metallic glass
Zr계 벌크 비정질 합금의 미세성형 및 평가기술 개발
Abstract
Although bulk metallic glasses have many outstanding aspects in their chemical, mechanical or functional properties, some critical problems still hinder their wide application. The most important one is the brittle nature of them, which is the serious problem to structural application. So, to use viscous flow is now the only competent way to form bulk metallic glass. In this study, we investigated the basic nature of viscous flow of Zr-base bulk metallic glass, vitrelloy 1, in terms of process variables. The results were used to design the thermo-mechanical process composed of heating, holding, pressing, and cooling, which have unique influence on the glass transition and crystallization behavior. We adopted small load scale and dies with nano/micro patterns on them. The results were evaluated using several analytical methods.
