Abstract

New Zr based metallic glass wires without bio-toxic elements of Ni, Al and Be were devel-oped for the further application as biomaterials by arc-melting type melt-extraction method. The continuous metallic glass wires with a good white luster and smooth surface were obtained in Zr-Ti-Al-Co, Zr-Al-Co-Cu, Zr-Al-Co and Zr-Ti-Co alloys. The Zr-based metallic glass wires show high tensile strength reaching 1000MPa. Furthermore, the wires exhibit good bending duc-tility and can be bent through 180 degrees without fracture. The Zr-based metallic glass wires achieve simultaneously high tensile strength, good bending ductility and high thermal stability.
