Abstract

In this paper, Cu43Zr48Al9 and (Cu43Zr48Al9)98Y2 bulk metallic glasses were prepared by casting them in a wedge-shaped copper mold. X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze their microstructures. Wedge casting is an effective and flexible technique for exploring alloy solidification microstructures. The results demonstrate that the development of microstructural transitions is related to the thickness of the wedge-shaped samples. These microstructural transitions are represented by the appearance of altered microstructural morphologies as well as changes from one product structure to another. It is found that the crystal/glass transition occurs as a U-shape change in Cu-based wedge-shaped alloys. Further, the critical cooling rate of (Cu43Zr48Al9)98Y2 became lower than that of Cu43Zr48Al9 and that (Cu43Zr48Al9)98Y2 has a better glass forming ability. We developed practical strategies in microstructure control to extend our knowledge of phase competition leading to the successful synthesis of Cu-based metallic glass.
