We used pulsed laser beam welding method to join PdCuNiP (at.%) bulk metallic glass and characterized the properties of the joint. Fusion zone and heat-affected zone in the weld joint can be maintained completely amorphous as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. No visible defects were observed in the weld joint. Nanoindentation and bend tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the weld joint. Fusion zone and heat-affected zone exhibit very similar elastic moduli and hardness when compared to the base material, and the weld joint shows high ductility in bending which is accomplished through the operation of multiple shear bands. Our results reveal that pulsed laser beam welding under appropriate processing parameters provides a practical viable method to join bulk metallic glasses.
我们采用脉冲激光束焊接方法将 PdCuNiP(原子%)块状金属玻璃进行连接,并对连接性能进行了表征。X 射线衍射和差示扫描量热法证实,焊接接头的熔合区和热影响区可以完全保持非晶态。在焊接接头中没有观察到明显的缺陷。进行了纳米压痕和弯曲试验来确定焊接接头的力学性能。与母材相比,熔合区和热影响区表现出非常相似的弹性模量和硬度,焊接接头在弯曲时表现出高延展性,这是通过多个剪切带的作用实现的。我们的结果表明,在适当的工艺参数下采用脉冲激光束焊接为连接块状金属玻璃提供了一种实用可行的方法。
