Abstract
(Zr54Al10.2Ni9.4Cu26.4)100−xTix (x = 0–0.5, at%) bulk metallic glasses were prepared by water-cooled copper suction casting method. The Ti microalloying effect on glass forming ability and physical and chemical properties of Zr54Al10.2Ni9.4Cu26.4 glass forming alloy were systematically investigated. The glass forming ability is the largest for the Zr-based alloy with 0.3 at% Ti. The glass transition temperature is decreased by the Ti addition, while the supercooled liquid region is broadened. Both strength and plasticity are significantly enhanced by the Ti addition. The yield strength and the fracture strength firstly increase and then decrease when the Ti content reaches up to 0.3 at%. The plastic strain and the fracture strain increase with increasing Ti content. In addition, the corrosion potential is slightly decreased by the Ti addition. The corrosion current density increases with increasing Ti content. The pitting corrosion becomes increasingly serious with increasing Ti content. The honeycomb corrossion structure can be clearly observed when the Ti content reaches up to 0.5 at%. The corresponding mechanisms are also discussed in detail.
