Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) are viable methods to produce large-size bulk metallic Glass (BMG) components. Even though BMGs with low glass forming abilities (GFA) can potentially be manufactured via AM, the resultant build undergoes partial devitrification, structural relaxation, cracking, or picks up oxygen (O). O pick-up is a serious issue for AM fabricated BMGs as it causes embrittlement and affects its potential use as a structural material. Here, a detailed review of the O pick-up in BMGs during AM fabrication is provided. The effect of O on the propensity of crystal nuclei formation and the glass forming ability of BMGs is critically discussed. Thereafter, the effect of on the mechanical properties of BMGs, and how it affects its structural performance are reviewed. Above a certain threshold, which could be composition-specific, O improves the strength of the BMG but diminishes its fracture, fatigue, and plasticity. These discussions will lead to the formulation of some future directions of research in AM fabrication of BMGs that have both scientific and technological relevance.
