Nanolayered metallic glass/crystalline composites provide an effective structure for improving the ductility of metallic glasses while maintaining their outstanding strength. The combination of high strength and ductility make these nanocomposites promising materials as wear-resistant coatings. In this work, we experimentally investigated the mechanical properties and nanoscratch behavior of CuZr/Zr metallic glass/crystalline nanolayers. The scratch resistance was highest for the monolithic CuZr, and diminished with decreasing layer thickness for nanolayered coatings, although hardness and elastic modulus were independent of layer thickness. The nanocomposite with a layer thickness of 10nm did not show any signs of failure in spite of compressive strain exceeding 80%. The low shear strength of the CuZr/Zr interface and strain hardening of Zr layers can explain the layer thickness-dependent scratch resistance and outstanding damage tolerance observed. Layered metallic glass/crystalline nanocomposites combine high hardness and resistance to fracture, providing a new design space for the development of effective wear-resistant coatings.

Nanolayered metallic glass-crystalline composites are promising materials that combine the high strength of metallic glasses with the superior ductility of crystalline metals. Previous work has focused on metallic glass-FCC crystalline nanolayers, and showed that the strength follows the Hall-Petch behavior of increasing strength with decreasing layer thickness. In our work, we investigated metallic glass-HCP crystalline nanolayers. Interestingly, the strength of these layers does not show any size effect; ...

Introduction/Purpose High hardness, large elastic limits and grain-boundary free structure of metallic glasses (MG) make them promising materials for wear resistant, corrosion resistant and biocompatible coatings [1]. However, the brittle nature of MGs in monolithic form is a major disadvantage. MG/crystalline nanolayered composites can overcome this problem by impeding the catastrophic propagation of shear bands [2]. Most studies so far on these nanocomposites have focused on MG/FCC crystalline structures ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been attracting attention as a toughening material in composite matrix due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, superior properties of CNTs have not yet been realized in the strengthening of composites against fracture. This study focuses on investigating the effect of CNT variation in the epoxy resin on the strength of curved composite beams.

Çaldıklıoğlu, Almira; Bayram, Göknur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019)
The purposes of this study are to improve mechanical properties, thermal stability, resistance to flammability, electrical conductivity and hydrophobicity of epoxy (E) by incorporation of expanded graphite (EG) and titanium dioxide (T) particles. In this study, sonication with the use of solvent method was primarily determined for the epoxy-based binary composite and coating preparation. By this method, the epoxy composites and coatings were produced by changing EG concentration as 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.7...
