Viscous flow of the Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 bulk metallic glass-forming liquid Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The equilibrium viscosity of the Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 bulk metallic glass-forming liquid was measured over a wide temperature range from the equilibrium supercooled liquid state to the glass transition region using parallel-plate rheometry and three-point beam bending. Based on the measured viscosity data, the fragility of this liquid was quantitatively determined. The Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 alloy, despite exhibiting the best glass-forming ability reported thus far, is relatively fragile compared with other bulk glass-forming liquids, such as Vit 1 and Vit 4.
