Abstract:The morphologies, sizes, compositions and volume fractions of dendritic phases in in situ Ti-based metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) containing beryllium (Be) with the nominal composition of Ti47Zr19Cu5V12Be17 (mole fraction, %) were investigated using XRD, SEM, EBSD, TEM, EDS and three-dimensional reconstruction method. Moreover, visualized at the nanoscale, Be distribution is confirmed to be only present in the matrix using scanning transmission electron microscopy-electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS). Based on these findings, it has been obtained that the accurate chemical compositions are Ti28.3Zr19.7Cu8V6.4Be37.6 (mole fraction, %) for glass matrix and Ti62.4Zr18.4Cu2.6V16.6 (mole fraction, %) for the dendritic phases, and the volume fractions are 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. It is believed that the results are of particular importance for the designing of Be-containing MGMCs.
