Abstract

For bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) to be adopted over a broader range of engineering applications, it is imperative to develop appropriate bonding processes for BMG/BMG and BMG/crystalline metal. The glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature of BMGs are relatively low. Therefore, to avoid the recrystallization of the glassy phase during bonding, low-temperature processes such as common soldering and ultrasonic wedge bonding process have been studied. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of ultrasonic A1 wire wedge bonding on Cu-, Ni-, and Zr-based BMGs. We achieved the bonding of A1 wire to BMGs at ambient temperatures, and it was found that the interfaces are straight and sharp without any visible intermetallic compound layers under conventional magnifications of a scanning electron microscope.
