基于共晶法则在U-Cr体系中深共晶点U₈₁Cr₁₉靠Cr一侧设计系列二元合金。在甩带条件下,合金形成单一的非晶相, 其初始晶化温度T_x接近700 K,约化晶化温度T_rx接近0.6。U-Cr体系的强非晶形成能力不符合在热力学、动力学和结构密堆角度上的预测,显示出一定的反常性,为进一步认识锕系非晶提供了潜在的基础模型体系。

As for actinide metallic glasses, a minor branch of metallic glasses, almost all of them are binary alloys and their glass-forming rule has been insufficiently studied. Considering that binary alloy systems are the base of ternary or more component glass systems that possess better glass-forming ability, binary glass systems U-Fe, U-Co and U-Cr are chosen for study. After earlier investigation on the first two systems, the glass formation in U-Cr system is explored in this work. According to the eutectic criterion, a series of U-Cr alloys were designed at the Cr-side of the eutectic point U₈₁Cr₁₉. Under the preparation of melt-spinning, these alloys can be formed into a single amorphous phase with the capacity of crystallizing at about 700 K. The reduced crystallization temperature (T_rx) of some U-Cr alloys exceeded 0.6, higher than those of U-Fe and U-Co metallic glasses, and comparable to those of ordinary bulk amorphous alloys. Being inconsistent with the prediction based on thermodynamics, kinetics and efficient structural packing, U-Cr alloy system shows anomalous strong glass-forming ability among reported actinide binary glasses. This abnormal behavior might be related to the existence of comparatively more mediate metastable phases in U-Cr system, which can be speculated from the multi-peak crystallization phenomenon. This system could be a potential system model for studying the glass formation of actinide amorphous alloys further.
