Structural and Mechanical Characteristics of CuZrAl₇ Bulk Metallic Glass Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting.

In this work, the structural and mechanical characteristics of CuZrAl₇ bulk metallic glass (BMG) fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) are studied and the impacts from the SLM process are clarified. CuZrAl₇ alloy specimens were manufactured by the SLM method from corresponding gas-atomized amorphous powders. The as-built specimens were examined in terms of phase structure, morphologies, thermal properties and mechanical behavior.
