Thermophysical properties of liquid Zr 52.5 Cu 17.9 Ni 14.6 Al 10 Ti 5 —prospects for bulk metallic glass manufacturing in space
npj Microgravity(2019)
摘要
Bulk metallic glasses are of critical interest for a wide range of applications, including their use in spacecraft gearboxes and mechanisms due to their excellent low-temperature, unlubricated wear resistance. Also of interest, is the potential for in-space manufacturing of metal alloys and the use of microgravity to determine fundamental thermophysical properties to inform ground-based modeling and experimentation. In this work, a Zr-based bulk metallic glass was processed in the electromagnetic levitator ISS-EML to determine undercooling, electrical resistivity, specific heat capacity, surface tension, and viscosity. A 6.5 mm sphere was vitrified during the processing, resulting in the first bulk metallic glass manufactured on board the international space station (ISS).
