Disclosed is a gear including a resettable metallic glass. The gear of the present disclosure includes, as a base material, a resettable metallic glass, wherein the resettable metallic glass includes at least one metal element selected from each of (a) the group consisting of Ti, Zr, and Hf and (b) the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn, and further includes at least one metal element to maximize the complexity in the thermodynamic enthalpy of mixing among constituent elements, thereby including multiple resetting cores in various atomic-scale cluster forms in an amorphous matrix, leading to a structure with maximized structural complexity.

Resettable gears and manufacturing method therefor

Disclosed is an AMS process using a water-leachable alloy that reacts with water and dissolves, and a porous metal manufactured using the same. An AMS precursor including element groups that are selected in consideration of the relationship of heat of mixing with the water-leachable alloy composition to be subjected to the AMS process is immersed in the alloy melt, thus manufacturing a bi-continuous structure alloy. The bi-continuous structure alloy is subjected to dealloying using water, thus manufacturing the porous metal. The water-leachable alloy is a Ca-based alloy having high reactivity to water and high oxidation resistance at high temperatures, and a dealloying process thereof is performed using only pure water, unlike a conventional dealloying process performed using a toxic etching solution of a strong acid/strong base. The metal porous body has high elongation, a large surface area, and low thermal conductivity.
