Abstract

The effect of replacement of Ti with Y or Nb in Ti-rich Ti–Zr–Be–Cu–Ni bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has been investigated. The minor addition (MA) of Y (Y–Ti: +58 kJ/mol) induced phase separation into Y-rich crystalline particles and Ti-rich amorphous matrix, while the MA of Nb (Nb–Ti: +10 kJ/mol) led to nanocrystallization in Ti-rich BMGs with icosahedral nuclei. This result indicates that MA of elements having positive enthalpy of mixing can induce a different degree of instability in the single amorphous matrix depending on the amount of repulsive interaction energy. In particular, MA of Nb (up to 4 at.%) significantly increased the compressive fracture strain (ϵf) up to ∼9.35 ± 0.2%, which indicates that the plasticity of BMGs can be enhanced by the size-modulated icosahedral phase embedded in the amorphous matrix.
