Abstract

The tribological behavior of a Zr–10Al–5Ti–17.9Cu–14.6Ni (at.%) bulk amorphous alloy, in both the as-cast and annealed states, was investigated using nano-scratch tests, including ramping load scratch and multiple sliding wear techniques. The crystallization sequence of the alloy was also characterized. Mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, hardness, friction coefficient, and tribological wear were measured. These properties were found to vary with microstructure. In general, an increase in annealing temperature results in an increase in hardness, which in turn produces a decrease in friction coefficient but an increase in wear resistance. Samples having a structure consisting of supercooled liquid matrix with dispersed nanocrystalline particles exhibit the best wear performance.
