Abstract

By use of excellent properties of bulk metallic glasses, some industrial products were practically prepared and their performances were investigated. Ni-based BMG microgear prepared by injection casting exhibits nano-imprintability against the surface roughness of mold. Linear actuator constructed by a set of Fe-based BMG yokes generates relatively large driving force due to the Lorentz force. The newly developed alloy with a nominal atomic composition of Ti52Cu23Ni11Mo 7Fe7 exhibits high yield strength of 1250 MPa, high fracture strength of 2740 MPa and large plastic elongation of over 20%. These results for the industrial products made of BMGs are promising for future developments as industrial materials with high performance.
