Additive manufacturing of a precious bulk metallic glass

Roland Logé, Jamasp Jhabvala, Güven Kurtuldu, Antonia Neels, Navid Sohrabi, Annapaola Parrilli

For the first time, a high-density amorphous and crack-free bulk metallic glass (BMG) based on a precious metal (PdCuNiP) was produced via additive manufacturing (AM). Laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) was used for the fabrication of the samples, and led to a ...

Structured nanoscale metallic glass fibres with extreme aspect ratios

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Vasiliki Tileli, Fabien Sorin, Jordan Squair, Giuseppe Schiavone, Nicholas David James, Wei Yan, Yunpeng Qu, Dang Tùng Nguyen

Micro- and nanoscale metallic glasses offer exciting opportunities for both fundamental research and applications in healthcare, micro-engineering, optics and electronics. The scientific and technological challenges associated with the fabrication and util ...

Characterization, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass manufactured via laser powder-bed fusion

Roland Logé, Jamasp Jhabvala, Steven Van Petegem, Navid Sohrabi, Antonia Neels, Annapaola Parrilli, Güven Kurtuldu, Efthymios Polatidis

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are high-strength, highly elastic materials due to their disordered atomic structure. Because BMGs require sufficiently high cooling rates to bypass crystallization, laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) methods have recently ...

Solidification of Metallic Alloys: Does the Structure of the Liquid Matter?

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

In 1952, Frank (Proc R Soc Lond Ser-Math Phys Sci 215:43-46, 1952) already postulated that Icosahedral Short Range Order (ISRO) of atoms in the liquid could possibly explain the large nucleation undercoolings measured in metallic alloys by Turnbull and Fis ...

Influence of Minor Cr-Additions to the Growth of Columnar Dendrites in Al-Zn Alloys: Influence of Icosahedral Short Range Order in the Liquid

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

The effect of minute Cr additions on dendritic growth directions in Al-20 wt pct Zn alloy has been investigated. As first evidenced by Gonzales and Rappaz (Metall Mater Trans A 37:2797-2806, 2006) Al-Zn alloys exhibit a Dendrite Orientation Transition (DOT ...

Influence of icosahedral short range order on diffusion in liquids: A study on Al-Zn-Cr alloys

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

It has been shown recently that minute additions of Cr in Al-Zn alloys refine the solidified grain structure and induce multiply-twinned grains which can only be explained if the icosahedral symmetry is considered (Kurtuldu et al., 2013). It has been sugge ...

Thermodynamic Aspects of Homogeneous Nucleation Enhanced by Icosahedral Short Range Order in Liquid Fcc-Type Alloys

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

We have recently shown that minute solute element additions to liquid metallic alloys can strongly influence the nucleation of the fcc phase and act as a grain refinement method. Electron back-scattered diffraction observations revealed a concomitant incre ...

Probability of twin boundary formation associated with the nucleation of equiaxed grains on icosahedral quasicrystal templates

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

Recently, we have shown that minute Cr additions (typically 0.1 wt%) to Al-Zn alloys solidified in a uniform temperature field lead to the formation of fine equiaxed fcc Al grains [1]. Furthermore, these grains exhibit an unexpectedly large number of twin, ...
