    Phase separation in rapid solidified Ag-rich Ag-Cu-Zr alloys
    (São Carlos : Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2015) Niyomsoan, Saisamorn; Gargarella, Piter; Chomsaeng, Natthaphol; Termsuksawad, Preecha; Kühn, Utha; Eckert, Jürgen
    The microstructure and phase formation of rapid solidified Ag-rich Ag-Cu-Zr alloys were investigated. Two types of structure; interconnected- and droplet-type structures, were obtained due to phase separation mechanisms. The former was spinodal decomposition and the later was nucleation and growth mechanism. Depending on the alloy compositions, three crystalline phases; FCC-Ag, AgZr and Cu10Zr7 phases were observed along with an in-situ nanocrystalline/amorphous composite. Vickers hardness testing indicated a significant increase of hardness in the nanocrystalline/amorphous-composite alloy.

    Deformation-induced martensitic transformation in Cu-Zr-Zn bulk metallic glass composites
    (Basel : MDPI, 2015) Wu, Dianyu; Song, Kaikai; Cao, Chongde; Li, Ran; Wang, Gang; Wu, Yuan; Wan, Feng; Ding, Fuli; Shi, Yue; Bai, Xiaojun; Kaban, Ivan; Eckert, Jürgen
    The microstructures and mechanical properties of (Cu0.5Zr0.5)100−xZnx (x = 0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 7, 10, and 14 at. %) bulk metallic glass (BMG) composites were studied. CuZr martensitic crystals together with minor B2 CuZr and amorphous phases dominate the microstructures of the as-quenched samples with low Zn additions (x = 0, 1.5, and 2.5 at. %), while B2 CuZr and amorphous phases being accompanied with minor martensitic crystals form at a higher Zn content (x = 4.5, 7, 10, and 14 at. %). The fabricated Cu-Zr-Zn BMG composites exhibit macroscopically appreciable compressive plastic strain and obvious work-hardening due to the formation of multiple shear bands and the deformation-induced martensitic transformation (MT) within B2 crystals. The present BMG composites could be a good candidate as high-performance structural materials.
