Recently, fabrication of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) components with complex shapes has been realized using laser powder bed fusion (PBF).Initial defects such as porosity inherent to the PBF process can significantly degrade the mech. integrity of the BMGs components.In spite of intensive studies on pore structures in 3D-printed crystalline alloys, pore structures in 3D-printed fully amorphous BMGs have not been characterized due to the difficulties in achieving large-scale fully amorphous structures.In the present work, the pore characteristics of PBF-processed fully amorphous Zr-based BMGs were systematically studied.The printed amorphous parts can reach a total volumetric porosity as small as 0.45%.Furthermore, correlations were found between porosity, pore size and morphol.Finally, hardness tests at various loads revealed that while the intrinsic properties were constant irresp. of laser processing, the overall mech. properties of the PBF-processed BMGs samples are dominated by pore characteristics.While the densest printed BMG sample had a comparable macroscale hardness to the as-cast material, an increase in porosity of ∼8% led to a decrease in HV5 hardness of ∼17%.The presented results provide a detailed anal. of pore characteristics, and their impact on mech. properties of PBF-processed BMGs, for further exptl. and computational studies of structure-property relationships in this materials class.
