Abstract

The effect of Co substitution for Be on the glass-forming ability and mechanical properties was investigated in Ti35Zr30Be27.5-xCu7.5Cox (x=0, 3.5, 7.5, 11.5 at.%) alloys by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and compression test. With the substitution of Co for Be, glass-forming ability (GFA) is significantly enhanced and fully amorphous rods with a diameter of up to 12 mm were produced in the alloy with 3.5 and 7.5 at.% Co. The Ti35Zr30Be24Cu7.5Co3.5 bulk glassy alloy exhibits good plasticity of 4% during compressive applied load at ambient temperature in conjunction with distinct yield strain of 2% and high fracture strength of 2196 MPa. The effect of the addition of Co on the structure and deformation behavior of the Ti35Zr30Be27.5-xCu7.5Cox (x=0, 3.5, 7.5, 11.5 at.%) alloys is discussed.
