Abstract: An embodiment relates to a composition comprising an amorphous alloy having a low coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.15 or less, wherein the amorphous alloy is substantially free of phosphor (P) and substantially free of boron (B). An embodiment relates to a method comprising solidifying a molten layer of an amorphous feedstock on a preexisting layer by controlling a heating source and a cooling rate so as to avoid formation of crystals in the molten layer and not affect a crystalline structure of the preexisting layer, and forming a specimen; wherein, the at least a portion specimen has the low COF. Another embodiment relates to a system comprising a drill string, wherein the drill string comprises a drilling bit and a drill pipe connected thereto, wherein at least a portion of the drill pipe comprises a coating having the low COF.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to the production of amorphous metals having compositions of iron, chromium, molybdenum, carbon and boron for usage in additive manufacturing, such as in layer-by-layer deposition to produce multi-functional parts. Such parts demonstrate ultra-high strength without sacrificing toughness and also maintain the amorphous structure of the materials during and after manufacturing processes. Two additive manufacturing techniques are provided: (1) the complete melting of amorphous powder and re-solidifying to amorphous structure to eliminate the formation of crystalline structure therein by controlling a heating source power and cooling rate without affecting previous deposited layers; and (2) partial melting of the outer surface of the amorphous powder, and solidifying powder particles with each-other without undergoing a complete melting stage. Amorphous alloy compositions have oxygen impurities in low concentration levels to optimize glass forming ability (GFA). Specific techniques of additive manufacturing include those based on lasers, electron beams and ultrasonic sources.

Abstract: An embodiment relates to a material comprising a ceramic formed from an amorphous metal alloy (amorphous metal ceramic composite), wherein the composite exhibits a higher corrosion resistance than that of Haynes 230 when exposed to molten chlorides such as KCl or MgCl2 or combinations thereof at temperatures up to 750° C. Yet, another embodiment relates to a method comprising obtaining a substrate, forming a coating of an amorphous metal alloy, heating the coating, and transforming at least a portion the amorphous metal alloy into an amorphous metalceramic composite.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to the production of bulk amorphous metal (BAM) alloys comprising chromium, manganese, molybdenum, tungsten, silicon, carbon, boron, and the balance of iron to replace tungsten carbide-based welded material. The BAM alloy embodied herein can be applied through PTA welding, HVOF, TWAS, flame spraying, plasma spraying, laser, their combinations, and other coating and welding processes. When used as welded material, the density of the embodiment of around 7 grams per CC, which is less dense than the tungsten carbide customarily used, resulting in even hard faces during welding spread uniformly across the weld, therefore creating a harder and more wear-resistant weld.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for metering an amount of molten amorphous alloy into a mold cavity of an injection system. A melting chamber in the system is heated to or above a solidus temperature of the alloy to form a hot chamber. Both the chamber and mold are maintained in an inert atmosphere. The molten alloy is metered from the chamber using a valve system and injected into the mold cavity for molding into a part. A feed tube may extend from the hot chamber to the valve system. The valve system may use gravity or pressure from a pump to meter a volume of molten alloy. In another case, the valve system may include a plunger and a shot sleeve for injecting alloy into the mold. In one embodiment, the plunger itself meters a volume of the alloy. The shot sleeve and plunger may optionally be heated.
