Abstract

Metallic glasses (MGs) have garnered significant attention due to their excellent properties, like high wear resistance, making them highly promising for a wide range of engineering applications. However, it is of significance to further increase the wear resistance of MGs, which has rarely been studied. Here we present a remarkable enhancement of wear resistance when some MGs undergo a liquid-liquid transition to form a new metallic glacial glass (MGG) state. Within an identical composition of La 65Ni 20Al 15, the wear resistance of the MGG exhibits a notable superiority of 104% compared to the as-cast MG, and an even more remarkable advantage of 349% compared to its crystalline counterpart. The excellent wear resistance of the MGG is attributed to its ultrastable nature in energy confirmed by dynamic relaxation changes. This work not only offers a unique perspective on MGGs, but also provides an effective technique for developing wear-resistant materials.
