Abstract
Glass formation and mechanical properties of Zr-Al-Co-Cu-Ag bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were investigated. The glass-forming ability (GFA) of Zr 55Al20Co20Cu5 alloy is significantly improved with minor addition of Ag, indicating by the impressive increase of the critical diameter of glass formation from 5 mm for Zr55Al 20Co20Cu5 to 16 mm for (Zr 0.55Al0.20Co0.20Cu0.05) 97Ag3 and (Zr0.55Al0.20Co 0.20Cu0.05)95Ag5 alloys. The Zr-Al-Co-Cu-Ag BMGs exhibit high compressive strength of 2160-2280 MPa and distinct plasticity of 0.6-2.5%. The Zr-based BMGs with outstanding GFA and mechanical properties as well as low-level cytotoxicity elements are expectative for industrial and biological applications.
