On the Inoculation and Phase Formation of Zr_47.5Cu_45.5Al₅Co₂ and Zr₆₅Cu₁₅Al₁₀Ni₁₀ Bulk Metallic Glass Matrix Composites

Bulk metallic glass matrix composites have emerged as new potential material for structural engineering applications owing to their superior strength, hardness and high elastic strain limit. However, their behaviour is dubious. They manifest brittleness and inferior ductility which limit their applications. Various methods have been proposed to overcome this problem. Out of these, introduction of foreign particles (inoculants) during...
