- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure generally relates to a composite of stainless steel and amorphous alloy and a method for manufacturing the composite.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Due to having good properties such as high mechanical strength, high abrasion resistance, and good corrosion resistance, amorphous alloy may be joined with other metals to be used on electronic devices. Welding and adhesive bonding are two typical joining methods. However, the heat during the welding can produce a crystallization of the amorphous alloy, thus negatively affecting the welding. The adhesive bonding may only achieve a low adhesive strength of about 0.5 MPa between the amorphous alloy and the stainless steel. Moreover, restricted by the chemical durability of the adhesive material, bonded amorphous alloy and stainless steel can be only used within a narrow temperature range of about −50° C. to about 100° C., which means they are not suitable in applications where operating or environmental temperatures may fall outside the range.
- Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
- Many aspects of the disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following figures. The components in the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the views.

amorphous alloy parts 13 may be bonded to thestainless steel part 11 by injection molding, with portions of theamorphous alloy parts 13 penetrating in the nano-pores 111 (seeFIG. 2 ). Theamorphous alloy parts 13 may be made of an amorphous alloy selected from one of the group consisting of magnesium-based amorphous alloy, zirconium-based amorphous alloy, and copper-based amorphous alloy. The amorphous alloy for theamorphous alloy parts 13 has a super-cooled liquid region (ΔT) larger than 20° C. The term “super-cooled liquid region” is defined as the difference (Tx−Tg) between the onset temperature of glass transition (Tg) and the onset temperature of crystallization (Tx) of an alloy. The value of ΔT is a measure of the amorphous phase-forming ability of the alloy. The onset temperature of crystallization of the amorphous alloy is lower than 500° C. - A method for manufacturing the
composite 100 may include the following steps: - The
stainless steel part 11 is provided. Thestainless steel part 11 may be formed by punching to obtain a desired shape. - The
stainless steel part 11 may be degreased. The degreasing process may include the step of dipping thestainless steel part 11 in a degreasing agent for about 5 minutes (min) to about 15 min. The degreasing agent may be a commercial degreaser special for stainless steel or a neutral detergent in common use. Thestainless steel part 11 is then rinsed in water. - The
stainless steel part 11 is electrochemically etched to form the nano-pores 111. The electrochemical etching process may be carried out in an acid water solution containing about 4 wt %-7 wt % hydrochloric acid, about 10 wt %-12 wt % ferric chloride, and about 1.8 wt %-2.2 wt % ammonium chloride, with thestainless steel part 11 being an anode, and a titanium board being a cathode. An electric current density about 2 ampere per square decimeter (A/dm2)-2.5 A/dm2 is applied between the anode and the cathode. The acid water solution maintains a temperature of about 40° C.-60° C. during the electrochemical etching. Electrochemical etching thestainless steel part 11 may take about 8 min-14 min. Then, thestainless steel part 11 is rinsed in water and then dried. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , the electrochemically etchedstainless steel part 11 is observed using a field emission scanning electronic microscope, such as a JSM-6700F type microscope sold by JEOL Ltd. The observation shows that a plurality of irregular nano-pores 111 are formed on thestainless steel part 11. The nano-pores 111 have an average diameter of about 30 nm-60 nm. - The
stainless steel part 11 having the nano-pores 111 is pre-heated to the onset temperature of glass transition (Tg) of the amorphous alloy for theamorphous alloy parts 13. In case of magnesium-based amorphous alloy, the Tg is about 100° C.-200° C. In case of zirconium-based amorphous alloy or copper-based amorphous alloy, the Tg is about 400° C.-500° C. The pre-heating step may help the amorphous alloy for theamorphous alloy parts 13 easily flow into the nano-pores 111 during the subsequent injection molding step. Also, the pre-heating step may further remove the water remained in the nano-pores 111, enhancing the bonding between thestainless steel part 11 and theamorphous alloy parts 13. The pre-heating step may be implemented in an oven. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , aninjection mold 20 is provided. Theinjection mold 20 includes acore insert 23 and acavity insert 21. Thecore insert 23 definesgates 231, andfirst cavities 233. Thecavity insert 21 defines asecond cavity 211 for receiving thestainless steel part 11. The pre-heatedstainless steel part 11 is located in thesecond cavity 211. Inert gas, such as argon is fed into theinjection mold 20, and molten amorphous alloy is injected through thegates 231 to coat thesurface 110 of thestainless steel part 11 and fill the nano-pores 111, and finally fill thefirst cavities 233 to form theamorphous alloy parts 13, as such, the composite 100 is formed. The molten amorphous alloy may be at a temperature of about (Tg+5)° C. to about (Tx−10)° C. During the molding process, theinjection mold 20 may be at a temperature of about (Tg+5)° C. to about (Tx−5)° C. - Amorphous alloy at a temperature between the Tg and Tx of the amorphous alloy may be very sensitive to oxidizing atmosphere and oxidized to formed a ceramic film on the surface thereof. Thus, inert gas may be fed into to the
injection mold 20 as a protecting gas. The onset temperature of crystallization of the magnesium-based amorphous alloy is lower than 500° C., preventing the mechanical property of thestainless steel part 11 from damages. - Examples of manufacturing the composite 100 are described as follows. The degreasing steps in the specific examples may be substantially the same as described above so it is not described here again.
