Characterization of Mechanical, Thermal and Wear Properties of Titanium Rich Metallic Glasses.

Abstract

The subject of this program was a comprehensive study of the preparation and the mechanical, thermal, structural and electrochemical properties of titanium based metallic glasses, with emphasis on their wear properties, as well as an extension of this work to some related transition metal based alloy glasses. This work required several innovations in equipment and experimental techniques as well as construction of specialized facilities, in particular: design of a melt spinner capable of processing reactive alloys, development of a method to measure the Young's modulus of very small samples, and construction of a wear test unit.
