Summary: This study characterized the tribological behaviors of a Zr-based BMG material against GCr15 steel balls under different loads and frequencies. It was found that high coefficient of friction (COF) was observed under low load and high frequency, while low COF was observed under high loads or at low frequencies. The specific wear rate increased with both load and frequency, with frequency playing a more crucial role. Transition of wear mechanisms from oxidative wear and abrasive wear to adhesive wear was detected with increasing load and frequency, and the role of plastic deformation of BMG was illustrated. This study helps to understand the tribological properties of Zr-based BMGs under sliding conditions.

Summary: Both structure relaxation and oxidation of surface layer induced by thermal treatment or friction heat play significant roles in reducing wear of metallic glasses (MGs). The oxidized surface layer exhibits the best anti-wear performance, with significant reductions in both adhesive and ploughing friction, which is attributed to hindered interfacial bonding and enhanced wear resistance.

Summary: This study investigated the nano- and macro-tribological properties of PL glass through friction tests, revealing that the COF of PL glass against SiO2 has opposing trends in humid air compared to dry air. The results also show that material removal for PL glass is better facilitated by humid air due to stress-enhanced hydrolysis, making the worn surface less susceptible to cracking at the macro-scale.

Summary: This study investigated the tribological properties and wear mechanisms of ex-situ additively manufactured FeCrMoCB/Cu bulk metallic glass composite under different normal loads and sliding speeds. The findings showed that the composite exhibited good wear resistance, with the coefficient of friction decreasing and the wear rate increasing as the sliding speed increased. Additionally, the wear mechanisms shifted from abrasive wear to oxidation wear and adhesive wear with increasing normal load, and adhesive wear and fatigue wear became dominant as the sliding speed increased.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
