Interest in metallic materials is increasing as external materials for
IT devices such as Smart phones and laptops. In particular, due to the
problems of flexibility and weight as an external material for mobile
devices, the manufacture of plastic materials was initially the main
trend, but the main production models of each brand (Apple, Samsung,
LG, etc.) were replaced with light metal materials to differentiate
products and improve emotional design. Currently, the most widely
utilized metal material has the applicable advantages of excellent
price competitiveness, lightness and emotional color using anodizing
with aluminum alloy. However, the disadvantages are very easily
deformed to leave a scratch on the drop of them and impact with other
objects due to the low strength and elastic deformation of the
aluminium alloy. To overcome these shortcomings, users are using
separate cases to protect their products, suggesting a fundamental
limitation of aluminium alloy.
As a result, studies have recently reported that amorphous alloys with
structures of non-periodic atomic arrangement, unlike conventional
crystalline materials, can be a solution. In particular, recent studies
have been conducted on exterior materials where the curvature can be
implemented, enabling self-conversion of scratches and local
deformation by utilizing Ni-Ti system's innovative amorphous alloy with
Ni and Ti as the main elements.
In the study of this paper, the surface of the innovative amorphous
alloy of Ni-Ti system was considered as a process for emotional
colorimetric characteristics through micro surface patterning using
viscosity reduction characteristics in Supercooled Liquid Region (SCLR)
of amorphous alloys.
Using surface-patterning equipment manufactured for this study, the
plasticity of the Ni-Ti system amorphous alloy was compared and
analyzed for fine patterns in the supercooled liquid area with varying
temperature and pressure. This is expected to follow the
Hagen-Poiseuille theorem of the viscous flow of laminar flow as
presented in the study by Jan Schroers et al, and it was confirmed that
the process variables could take into account the effect on precision
plastic processing. In addition, compared to the Zr and Pt alloys
studied in the past, Ni-Ti systems were found to be capable of
precision surface formation, although they do not have good viscosity
reduction in the supercooled liquid area section.
In addition, to observe the relationship between micro surface
patterning of amorphous alloys and thermal stability in the supercooled
liquid section, plastic deformation degree was compared through micro
surface patterning experiments of Zr alloys with different S-parameter
meaning thermal stability was observed. The S-parameter obtained by
utilizing characteristic temperature with amorphous alloys reported to
have superior non-crystalline formation capability and hence superior
thermal stability showed high figures compared to Ni-Ti system. These
characteristics confirmed that crystallization of alloys identified
after micro surface patterning had a significant effect on plastic
deformation. It is deemed that the degree of plastic deformation
relative to the thermal characteristics of each alloy can be predicted,
even if the reduction of viscosity values is similar in the supercooled
liquid section of amorphous alloys.
This study is judged to be meaningful as a basic study of
thermoplastic precision in the supercooled liquid area section of
amorphous alloys later, and it is considered to be an applicable study
for optimizing the production process for later.
