Production of Zirconium-Based Glassy Alloy Wires by Melt Extraction Method and Their Mechanical Properties

Abstract

AbstractGlassy Zr65Al10Ni10Cu15 wires were produced in the diameter range up to about 310 µm by a melt extraction method using a copper wheel in an argon atomospher The grass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallization temperature (Tx) are 652K and 757K, respectively, and the temperature interval of the supercooled liquid, ΔTx(=Tx-Tg) is 105K, in agreement with those for the corresponding melt-spun ribbon. The wires have a nearly real circular cross section and good mechanical properties.
