Abstract

Current study reports fabrication of in-situ Fe-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) nanocomposites by carrying out spark plasma sintering of Fe57Cr9Mo5B16P7C6 amorphous alloy powder. In situ BMG composites were synthesized with varying amount of crystalline phases by controlled partial devitrification in supercooled liquid region. Application of high consolidation pressure (400 MPa) during sintering contributed to enhanced viscous flow in the amorphous powder resulted in high densification (> 97 %) in the sintered compacts. Microstructural and phase evolution in the consolidated BMGs and BMG nanocomposites were systematically investigated with respect to sintering conditions. Microscale heterogeneity with respect to phase evolution in the sintered samples was evaluated by nanoindentation studies. Hardness of the sintered BMG nanocomposites was found to be significantly higher than the sintered BMGs ascribed to the evolution of hard intermetallic phases during devitrification.
