The cooling rates associated with suction and copper-mould casting of ø2, ø3 and ø5 mm rods made in Fe-25wt%Ni and Al-33wt%Cu alloys were determined based on their cellular and lamellar spacings, respectively. The work showed that the temperature profile in cylindrical samples can not be determined merely by microstructural examination of eutectic sample alloys. A concave solidification front, as a result of eutectic transformation, caused decrease of a lamellar spacing while approaching to the rod centre. The minimum axial cooling rates, estimated based on the cellular spacing in the Fe-25wt%Ni alloy, were evaluated to be about 200 K/s for both ø2 and ø3 mm and only 30 K/s for the ø5 mm suction cast rods. The corresponding values were slightly lower for the copper-mould cast rods.

Na podstawie analizy wielkości dendrytów komórkowych w stopie Fe-25Ni i odległości międzypłytkowych w stopie Al-33Cu zostały oszacowane szybkości chłodzenia w trakcie odlewania stopów metodami suction casting i copper-mould casting. Badania wykazały, że rozkład szybkości chłodzenia w cylindrycznych próbkach nie może być oszacowany w stopach z krystalizacją eutektyczną. W tym przypadku bowiem dochodzi do zmniejszania odległości międzypłytkowej w miarę zbliżania się do osi pręta, ze względu na wklęsły charakter frontu krystalizacji. Minimalna szybkość chłodzenia w osi prętów odlanych za pomocą metody suction casting, wyznaczona w oparciu o pomiary wielkości dendrytów komórkowych w stopie Fe-25wt%Ni, wyniosła ok. 200 K/s dla stopów o średnicy ø2 i ø3 mm, i tylko 30 K/s dla stopów o średnicy ø5 mm. W przypadku stopów odlanych metodą copper-mould casting oszacowane wartości były nieznacznie mniejsze.

Purpose: The work presents density measurements of bulk metallic glasses in as-cast state. Additionally casting method and structure characterization was displayed. Design/methodology/approach: The studies were performed on Fe36Co36B19.2Si4.8Nb4 metallic glasses in form of rods with diameter 2 and 3 mm. Samples were fabricated using copper mould casting method. The master alloy characteristic temperatures (Tm - melting point and T1 - liquidus temperature) were determinate by differential thermal analysis (DTA). The structure was characterized by X-ray (XRD) method and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The densities of metallic glassy rods have been measured by using the Archimedes principle. Findings: The XRD and SEM investigations revealed that the studied samples in form of rods were amorphous. Broad diffraction “halo” was observed for every testing piece. Fracture observation confirmed glassy state of samples. Archimedes principle allows calculating density of tested sample. Practical implications: The FeCo-based bulk metallic glasses have attracted great interest for a variety application fields for example electric applications, precision machinery materials or structural materials. Metallic glasses exhibit higher density than their crystalline counterparts and could be apply as a satisfactory structural material. Originality/value: The obtained results confirm the utility of applied investigation methods in the thermal and structure analysis of examined amorphous alloys. Density of metallic glasses is important properties which influence on specific application these materials. This materials offer attractive qualities, combining some of the desirable properties of conventional crystalline metals and the formability of conventional oxide glasses.
