Bulk Metallic Glasses: Effect of Various Temperatures with Nature of Constituent Elements in Zr-Al/Ti-Ni-Cu BMGs

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), known for their amorphous structure, exhibit a unique blend of high strength, superior magnetic properties, and excellent corrosion resistance. Produced by ultra-rapid cooling that prevents atoms from crystallizing, these materials remain metastable. Elemental substitution in BMGs can alter thermal properties such as crystallization and glass transition temperatures. Variations in thermal expansion, conductivity, and covalent radius significantly affect these changes, and using these parameters helps account for changes in their properties after altering the fraction of constituent elements.
