Abstract

Abstract In this paper, new Mg–Li based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are prepared by conventional copper mold injection casting method. The alloys exhibit excellent mechanical properties, such as ultra-high compressive fracture strength (maximal 729 MPa), high Vickers hardness (>2 GPa) and low elastic modulus (∼35 GPa). Compared with the corresponding crystal alloys, the density of the amorphous alloy samples is reduced by about 1.5% due to their free volume. Thus, it is believed that this new BMGs with these outstanding properties will broaden Mg–Li based alloys’ application fields.
