The heating rate dependence of the glass transition temperature of the
Ni₆₅Nb₃₅, Ni₆₀Nb₃₅Sn₅, Ni₅₉.₃₅Nb₃₄.₄₅Sn62, Ni₆₀(Nb₄₀Ta₆₀)₃₄Sn₆, and
Ni₅₇Fe₃Nb₃₅Sn₅ metallic glass forming alloys was investigated with a
differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The inverse heating rate for each
DSC experiment was plotted versus inverse temperature and a Vogel-Fulcher-
Tamman (VFT) type relation was...
The development of amorphous metal alloys with high glass forming ability allows the fabrication of amorphous samples with thickness greater than 1mm, known as bulk metallic glasses(BMGs). Outstanding mechanical properties and ease in processing due to low melting points, low solidification shrinkage and higher supercooled liquid region make BMG a...
High density polyethylene (HDPE) is a ubiquitous material with versatile properties. It is produced and used in greater volume than any other thermoplastic. HDPE is often filled with a variety of materials for various applications. Glass fiber and wood flour are two common fillers for HDPE. Recently there has been...
