Abstract
The thermal stability, glass-forming ability (GFA) and mechanical properties of the Ni 60Nb40−x Tix (x = 0 to 40) glassy alloys have been investigated. As the Ti content increases, the supercooled liquid region ∆Tx (= Tx − Tg) and reduced glass transition temperature (Tg/Tl) increase, the maximum ∆Tx of 54 K and Tg/Tl of 0.622 are obtained at 22.5%Ti and 15%Ti, respectively, and then the ∆Tx and the Tg/Tl gradually decrease. The Ni60Nb25Ti15 glassy alloy was formed in a rod form with a diameter up to 1.5 mm. The Tg and Tx of the bulk glassy alloy were 859 K and 906 K, respectively. The Vicker’s hardness (Hv), Young’s modulus (E), compressive fracture strength (σc,f) and compressive plastic elongation (ec,p) were 833, 167 GPa, 3085 MPa and 1.8%, respectively, for the bulk alloy. There is a tendency for fracture strength to increase with increasing glass transition temperature ( Tg). It is therefore interpreted that the high strength is due to strong bonding nature among the constituent elements.
