Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.展开更多

The microstructure and the phase aggregate were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry, respectively. Microhardness, wear resistance and corrosion behavior were assessed using a Vickers microhardness tester, a ball-on-disk wear testing machine and the electrochemical measurement method, respectively. Microstructural studies show that the coatings possess a densely layered structure with the porosity less than 2.1%. The tribological behavior of the coatings examined under dry conditions shows that their relative wear resistance is five times higher than that of the substrate material. Both adhesive wear and abrasive wear contribute to the friction, but the former is the dominant wear mechanism of the metallic glass coatings. The coatings exhibit low passive current density and extremely wide passive region in 3.5% NaCl solution, thus indicating excellent corrosion resistance.展开更多

The results show that the structure is an essential factor that affects degradation, andadded non-metallic elements help optimize the structure. The amorphous and balled-milled crystalline Fe7oSiloB2o hascomparative degradation efficiencies to MO with tl/2 values of 6.9 and 7.0 min, respectively. Increasing the boron contentcan create a favorable structure and promote degradation. The ball-milled crystalline Fe70B30 and Fe43.64B56.36 powdershave relatively short tl/2 values of 5.2 and 3.3 rain, respectively. The excellent properties are mainly attributed to theirheterogeneous structure with boron-doped active sites in ZVI. Composition segregation in the nanoscale range in anamorphous FeSiB alloy and small boron particles in the microscale range embedded in large iron particles prepared by ball-milling, both constitute effective galvanic cells that promote iron electron loss and therefore decompose organic chemicals.These findings may provide a new, highly efficient, low-cost commercial method for azo dye wastewater treatment usingZVI.展开更多

The results indicated that the perfect formations of joints without typical defects such as spatter were achieved with optimized parameters. Except for little nano-particle Fe2B, no other crystalline particle was detected by TEM, revealing that the most microstructure in spot weld remains amorphous. The maximum tensile-shearing force was 45.0 N with the optimized parameters of 1 kA weld current, 30 N electrode force and 0.02 ms weld time. The spot weld failed as pullout failure mode propagating along the interface of nugget zone. The study demonstrates that resistance spot welding is an effective and practical welding process for Fe-based metallic glass.展开更多

The basic ternary compositions in the Fe-B-Si system were determined by the intersection points of two cluster lines, namely, Fe-B cluster to Si and Fe-Si cluster to B. 3at% -4at% Nb was added to the quaternary Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy. The casting experiments revealed that good glass-forming ability （GFA） occurred at the （Fe73.4Si8.2B18.4）96Nb4 composition, and 3-mm diameter BMG samples were made. The glass transition temperature （Tg）, crystallization temperature （Tx）, and supercooled liquid region （△Tx=Tx-Tg） of this BMG were measured to be 866, 889, and 23 K, respectively. The BMG shows a high Vickers hardness of about Hv 1164, a Young＇s modulus of 180 GPa, and a good corrosion resistance in the solutions of 1 mol/L HCl and 3wt% NaCl.展开更多

In this paper, a Fe-based metallic glass(MG) was demonstrated as a new type of electrocatalyst to effectively and economically degrade an azo dye. In comparison to other typical electrodes, Fe-based MG electrodes exhibit a minimized degradation time, and the specific energy is 4-6 orders of magnitude lower than that of dimensionally stable anode(DSA), metal-like boron-doped diamond(BDD) and other electrodes. As sacrificial electrode materials, Fe-based MGs have less specific electrode mass consumption than iron electrodes. The use of Fe-based MGs will promote the practical application of electrochemical technology and the use of MGs as functional materials.展开更多

An industrial Fe–B alloy was used as the raw material, and a series of Fe-based BMGs were synthesized. In BMGs with the Mo contents of approximately 1at%–2at%, the cast alloy reached a critical diameter of 6 mm. The hardness and fracture strength also reached their maximum values in this alloy system. However, the anticorrosion and magnetic properties of the BMGs were not substantially improved by the addition of Mo. The low cost, good GFA, high hardness, and high fracture strength of the Fe-based BMGs developed in this work suggest that they are potential candidates for commercial applications.展开更多

This composite sample was developed by introduction of bcc a-Fe dendrites as reinforcing phase. The corrosion behavior of this composite was compared to its monolithic counterpart and other Fe-based alloys such as 304L and 2304L stainless steels. The corrosion resistance of MGMCs in H2SO4 solution shows inferior to that of other Fe-based alloys. Experiments suggest that Fe-BMGs samples possess better corrosion resistance property than that of Fe-MGMCs. The possible underlying reasons can be the inhomogeneity induced by the precipitation of a-Fe dendrites in the MGMCs.展开更多

Among the four BMG alloys, Fe43NisCr15Mo14C15B6Y2 exhibits the lowest coercivity and the highest saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, effective magnetic moment, and GFA. By contrast, Fe43MnsCrlsMo14C15B6Y2 presents the poorest magnetic properties, such as the highest coercivity and the lowest saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, and effective magnetic moment. Fe43Cu5Cr15MolaC15B6Y2 demonstrates the lowest thermal stability and GFA. The observed thermal, structural, and magnetic properties of these BMG alloys are discussed in terms of the kinetics of BMG synthesization and the formation of different ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases.展开更多

The oxide film formed at 573 K is iron-rich oxide and it exhibits an n-type semiconductor at a higher potential than 0.35 V and a p-type semiconductor at a lower potential than 0.35 V. Capacitance measurements show that the donor density decreases with the increase in oxidation temperature, while the thickness of the space charge layer increases with the oxidation temperature rising. The result of immersion tests shows that the mass loss rate increases with the oxidation temperature rising. Therefore, the correlation between microstructure and corrosion resistance needs to be proposed because the corrosion resistance is deteriorated with the development of the oxide films.展开更多

文摘Fe-based metallic glasses have garnered significant attention due to their low coercivity force and core loss.Enhancing the saturation magnetic flux density(Bs)of Fe-based metallic glasses is crucial for their industry applications.This work constructed a dataset comprising330 training data and 157 test data.The support vector regression model surpassed the tree-based ensemble models in the test set and demonstrated comparable accuracy to the tree-based ensemble models in the training set.Additionally,we proposed an indicator for Bsbased on symbolic regression.This newly proposed indicator exhibits a Pearson correlation coefficient exceeding 0.92 with Bs.The present work provides a simple and accurate formula for predicting the Bsof Fe-based amorphous alloys,demonstrating the effectiveness of machine learning approaches in discovering novel soft magnetic materials.

文摘The lap joints of Fe-based metallic glass ribbons were carried by resistance spot welding, and the microstructures of spot welds were investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicated that the perfect formations of joints without typical defects such as spatter were achieved with optimized parameters. Except for little nano-particle Fe2B, no other crystalline particle was detected by TEM, revealing that the most microstructure in spot weld remains amorphous. The maximum tensile-shearing force was 45.0 N with the optimized parameters of 1 kA weld current, 30 N electrode force and 0.02 ms weld time. The spot weld failed as pullout failure mode propagating along the interface of nugget zone. The study demonstrates that resistance spot welding is an effective and practical welding process for Fe-based metallic glass.

文摘Bulk metallic glass （BMG） formation was explored in the Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy system though combined use of the atomic cluster line approach and the minor alloying strategy. The basic ternary compositions in the Fe-B-Si system were determined by the intersection points of two cluster lines, namely, Fe-B cluster to Si and Fe-Si cluster to B. 3at% -4at% Nb was added to the quaternary Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy. The casting experiments revealed that good glass-forming ability （GFA） occurred at the （Fe73.4Si8.2B18.4）96Nb4 composition, and 3-mm diameter BMG samples were made. The glass transition temperature （Tg）, crystallization temperature （Tx）, and supercooled liquid region （△Tx=Tx-Tg） of this BMG were measured to be 866, 889, and 23 K, respectively. The BMG shows a high Vickers hardness of about Hv 1164, a Young＇s modulus of 180 GPa, and a good corrosion resistance in the solutions of 1 mol/L HCl and 3wt% NaCl.

文摘Excessive consumption of electrical energy has hampered the widespread application of electrochemical technology for degradation of various contaminants. In this paper, a Fe-based metallic glass(MG) was demonstrated as a new type of electrocatalyst to effectively and economically degrade an azo dye. In comparison to other typical electrodes, Fe-based MG electrodes exhibit a minimized degradation time, and the specific energy is 4-6 orders of magnitude lower than that of dimensionally stable anode(DSA), metal-like boron-doped diamond(BDD) and other electrodes. As sacrificial electrode materials, Fe-based MGs have less specific electrode mass consumption than iron electrodes. The use of Fe-based MGs will promote the practical application of electrochemical technology and the use of MGs as functional materials.

文摘Fe-based metallic glasses(MGs)have shown great commercial values due to their excellent soft magnetic properties.Magnetism prediction with consideration of glass forming ability(GFA)is of great signifi-cance for developing novel functional Fe-based MGs.However,theories or models established based on condensed matter physics exhibit limited accuracy and some exceptions.In this work,based on 618 Fe-based MGs samples collected from published works,machine learning(ML)models were well trained to predict saturated magnetization(B_(s))of Fe-based MGs.GFA was treated as a feature using the experimental data of the supercooled liquid region(△T_(x)).Three ML algorithms,namely eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),artificial neural networks(ANN)and random forest(RF),were studied.Through feature selection and hyperparameter tuning,XGBoost showed the best predictive performance on the randomly split test dataset with determination coefficient(R^(2))of 0.942,mean absolute percent error(MAPE)of 5.563%,and root mean squared error(RMSE)of 0.078 T.A variety of feature importance rankings derived by XGBoost models showed that T_(x) played an important role in the predictive performance of the models.This work showed the proposed ML method can simultaneously aggregate GFA and other features in ther-modynamics,kinetics and structures to predict the magnetic properties of Fe-based MGs with excellent accuracy.

文摘The experimental results concerning the effects of Mo on the glass-forming ability(GFA), thermal stability, and mechanical, anticorrosion, and magnetic properties of an(Fe_(71.2)B_(24)Y_(4.8))_(96)Nb_4 bulk metallic glass(BMG) were presented. An industrial Fe–B alloy was used as the raw material, and a series of Fe-based BMGs were synthesized. In BMGs with the Mo contents of approximately 1at%–2at%, the cast alloy reached a critical diameter of 6 mm. The hardness and fracture strength also reached their maximum values in this alloy system. However, the anticorrosion and magnetic properties of the BMGs were not substantially improved by the addition of Mo. The low cost, good GFA, high hardness, and high fracture strength of the Fe-based BMGs developed in this work suggest that they are potential candidates for commercial applications.

文摘The corrosion behavior study was conducted on a novel Fe77 Mo5P9C7.5 B1.5 in-situ metallic glass matrix composite （MGMC）. This composite sample was developed by introduction of bcc a-Fe dendrites as reinforcing phase. The corrosion behavior of this composite was compared to its monolithic counterpart and other Fe-based alloys such as 304L and 2304L stainless steels. The corrosion resistance of MGMCs in H2SO4 solution shows inferior to that of other Fe-based alloys. Experiments suggest that Fe-BMGs samples possess better corrosion resistance property than that of Fe-MGMCs. The possible underlying reasons can be the inhomogeneity induced by the precipitation of a-Fe dendrites in the MGMCs.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)have the advantages of environmental friendliness,cost-effectiveness,and high energy density,which are considered one of the most promising candidates for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).The cathode materials influence the cost and energy output of SIBs.Therefore,the development of advanced cathode materials is crucial for the practical application of SIBs.Among various cathode materials,layered transition metal oxides(LTMOs)have received widespread attention owing to their straightforward preparation,abundant availability,and cost-competitiveness.Notably,layered Fe-based oxide cathodes are deemed to be one of the most promising candidates for the lowest price and easy-to-improve performance.Nevertheless,the challenges such as severe phase transitions,sluggish diffusion kinetics and interfacial degradation pose significant hurdles in achieving high-performance cathodes for SIBs.This review first briefly outlines the classification of layered structures and the working principle of layered oxides.Then,recent advances in modification strategies employed to address current issues with layered iron-based oxide cathodes are systematically reviewed,including ion doping,biphasic engineering and surface modification.Furthermore,the review not only outlines the prospects and development directions for layered Fe-based oxide cathodes but also provides novel insights and directions for future research endeavors for SIBs.

文摘The correlation betweent deformation behavior and atomic-scale heterogeneity of bulk metallic glasses(BMGs)is critical to understand the BMGs'deformation mechanism.In this work,three typical[(Fe_(0.5)Co_(0.5))_(0.75)B_(0.2)Si_(0.05)]_(96)Nb_4,Fe_(39)Ni_(39)B_(14.2)Si_(2.75)P_(2.75)Nb_(2.3),and Fe_(50)Ni_(30)P_(13)C_(7)BMGs exhibiting different plasticity were selected,and the correlation between deformation behavior and atomic-scale heterogeneity of Fe-based BMGs was studied.It is found that the serrated flow dynamics of Fe-based BMGs transform from chaotic state to self-organized critical state with increasing plasticity.This transformation is attributed to the increasing atomic-scale heterogeneity caused by the increasing free volume and short-to-medium range order,which facilitates a higher frequency of interaction and multiplication of shear bands,thereby results in a brittle to ductile transition in Fe-based BMGs.This work provides new evidence on heterogeneity in plastic Fe-based BMGs from the aspects of atomic-scale structure,and provides new insight into the plastic deformation of Fe-based BMGs.

文摘Fe43MsCra5Mo14C15B6Y2 （M = Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu in at.%） bulk metallic glasses （BMGs） are synthesized using the suction casting technique, and the glass-forming ability （GFA）, microstructure, and thermal and magnetic properties of these glasses are extensively examined using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques. Among the four BMG alloys, Fe43NisCr15Mo14C15B6Y2 exhibits the lowest coercivity and the highest saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, effective magnetic moment, and GFA. By contrast, Fe43MnsCrlsMo14C15B6Y2 presents the poorest magnetic properties, such as the highest coercivity and the lowest saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, and effective magnetic moment. Fe43Cu5Cr15MolaC15B6Y2 demonstrates the lowest thermal stability and GFA. The observed thermal, structural, and magnetic properties of these BMG alloys are discussed in terms of the kinetics of BMG synthesization and the formation of different ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases.

文摘Oxide films formed on the surfaces of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses in the temperature range between 373 K and 573 K were characterized and their effects on the corrosion behaviors were investigated by microstructural and electrochemical analysis. The oxide film formed at 573 K is iron-rich oxide and it exhibits an n-type semiconductor at a higher potential than 0.35 V and a p-type semiconductor at a lower potential than 0.35 V. Capacitance measurements show that the donor density decreases with the increase in oxidation temperature, while the thickness of the space charge layer increases with the oxidation temperature rising. The result of immersion tests shows that the mass loss rate increases with the oxidation temperature rising. Therefore, the correlation between microstructure and corrosion resistance needs to be proposed because the corrosion resistance is deteriorated with the development of the oxide films.
