摘要： Nanostructured materials that contain amorphous intergranular films (AlFs) are described herein. Amorphous intergranular films are structurally disordered (lacking the ordered pattern of a crystal) films that are up to a few nanometers thick. Nanostructured materials containing these films exhibit increased ductility, strength, and thermal stability simultaneously. A nanocrystalline material system that has two or more elements can be designed to contain AlFs at the grain boundaries, provided that the dopants segregate to the interface and certain materials science design rules are followed. An example of AlFs in a nanostructured Cu—Zr alloy is provided to illustrate the benefits of integrating AlFs into nanostructured materials.

摘要： Disclosed is an apparatus comprising at least one gate and a vessel, the gate being configured to move between a first position to restrict entry into an ejection path of the vessel and contain a material in a meltable form within the vessel during melting of the material, and a second position to allow movement of the material in a molten form through the ejection path. The gate can move linearly or rotate between its first and second positions, for example. The apparatus is configured to melt the material and the at least one gate is configured to allow the apparatus to be maintained under vacuum during the melting of the material. Melting can be performed using an induction source. The apparatus may also include a mold configured to receive molten material and for molding a molded part, such as a bulk amorphous alloy part.

摘要： Disclosed is a vessel for melting meltable material having a body with a melting portion configured to receive meltable material to be melted therein and an injection path for injecting the meltable material in molten form after melting (e.g., into a mold). The body has a recess configured to contain the meltable material within the vessel during melting of the material. The vessel is configured for movement between in a first position to restrict entry of molten material into an injection path of the vessel and to contain the material in the recess during melting, and a second position to allow movement of the material in a molten form through the injection path and into the mold (e.g., using a plunger). The vessel can be used in an injection molding system for molding bulk amorphous alloys.
