Glass formation, corrosion behavior, and mechanical properties of novel Cr-rich Cr–Fe–Mo–C–B–Y bulk metallic glasses

The glass formation, corrosion behavior, and mechanical properties of novel Cr-rich CrxFe58.8−xMo14.7C14.7B9.8Y2 (x=29.4, 36.75, and 44.1at.%) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were evaluated. It is found that the critical diameter for glass formation and supercooled liquid region remarkably decrease from 3mm to 1mm and 68K to 79K, respectively, with the increase in Cr content. Compared with SUS316 stainless steel, those BMGs exhibit more excellent …
