Abstract

Due to the small size and serious crystallization, the wider application of amorphous alloy materials is limited. In this paper, the bulk amorphous alloy with the size of 15 mm × 15 mm × 12 mm was made by selective laser melting technology. The characters of the composition and structure of the as-prepared bulk amorphous alloy and the thermal effect of the preparation process were analyzed. The results showed that the cooling rate of both the molten pool and the heat affected zone were much higher than the critical cooling rate of the amorphous alloy and, therefore, the cooling rate was not the reason for the crystallization in this experiment. The molten pool of the formed amorphous alloy block was completely amorphous. Due to the accumulation of structural relaxation, crystallization occurred in the heat affected zone, but the amorphous structure was still dominant. The increase in deposition layer had no obvious effect on crystallization.
