Abstract

ABSTRACTLarge-scale fabrication of Cu36Zr48Al8Ag8 amorphous alloy sheets having with lengths above 250 mm was performed using atmosphere-controlled twin roll strip casting. By constructing a continuous cooling transformation diagram, the critical cooling rate was determined to be 212.6 K/s. The size and morphology of the crystalline phases within the amorphous matrix, which was Al-rich and Ag-depleted, were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The presence of a small volume fraction fine dendritic crystalline phase was necessary for the improved plasticity of the amorphous strip under tensile deformation mode.
