A topological approach to design Ni-based bulk metallic glasses with high corrosion resistance

The structural model for metallic glasses and the topological instability criterion for multicomponent alloy systems have been combined to formulate a design protocol for bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). New Ni-Nb-Zr bulk metallic glasses with high corrosion resistance have been discovered. The experim...

Description
Summary:The structural model for metallic glasses and the topological instability criterion for multicomponent alloy systems have been combined to formulate a design protocol for bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). New Ni-Nb-Zr bulk metallic glasses with high corrosion resistance have been discovered. The experimental results in literature also support the use of this approach as a practically efficient method to select bulk metallic glass-forming compositions.
