Friction Welding of Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 Bulk Metallic Glasses

چکیده
The friction welding of Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 bulk metallic glasses (BMG) has been tried. An apparatus for the friction welding of BMGs adopting a pneumatic cylinder and gripper based on a conventional lathe, and a welding process which provides a sufficient cooling rate after welding were devised. Friction time and friction pressure were chosen as the control parameters in the friction welding process. Their influences on the shape and volume of the protrusion formed from the welded interface were investigated. In addition, the temperature distribution around the interface during friction welding was measured using an infrared thermal imager. In order to characterize the friction welded interface, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and micrographic observation of welded sections were carried out. A successful joining of Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 alloy was accomplished through the precise control of friction time and friction pressure. The condition whether crystallization occurred or not during friction welding could be classified depending upon the volume of the protrusion formed at the welded interface which is also related to the thickness of the protrusion formed at the root part of the welded interface.

Thermal rejuvenation in metallic glasses
Structural rejuvenation in metallic glasses by a thermal process (i.e. through recovery annealing) was investigated experimentally and theoretically for various alloy compositions. An increase in the potential energy, a decrease in the density, and a change in the local structure as well as mechanical softening were observed after thermal rejuvenation. Two parameters, one related to the anneali...
متن کاملHigh-rate squeezing process of bulk metallic glasses
High-rate squeezing process of bulk metallic glasses from a cylinder into an intact sheet achieved by impact loading is investigated. Such a large deformation is caused by plastic flow, accompanied with geometrical confinement, shear banding/slipping, thermo softening, melting and joining. Temperature rise during the high-rate squeezing process makes a main effect. The inherent mechanisms are i...

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining process. This joining technique is energy efficient, environment friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used to join high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld by conventional fusion welding. FSW is considered to be the most significant development in metal joining in a de...
