Foundation of bulk amorphous alloy database

摘要

During the past 10 years, research about bulkamorphous alloys has made some progress and a great quantityof data has been published. One of the main studying aims is tofind a series of alloys with high glass-forming ability so theycan be fabricated by conventional casting or high-pressure diecasting techniques. However, traditional "trial and error"methods have still been used to explore new bulk amorphousalloy systems. It is time to design bulk amorphous alloycompositions by computer aided design referring to condensedstate physics, computational materials science and database. Adatabase has been assembled with a lot of documents and dataabout bulk amorphous alloys. It has convenient inquiry, index,and modification functions. In the database, disorder data havebeen systemized and regularized, and can be directly used byother computational programs. It concluded that the bulkamorphous alloys database is especially helpful to research anddesign bulk amorphous alloys.
