A flow model in bulk metallic glasses

H. Zhang et al.

Summary: Based on microscopic mechanisms, a constitutive equation for crack-like propagation velocity and a flow model for bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are derived. The model explains the fundamental deformation of BMGs and accurately predicts the transition between serrated and non-serrated flows. The results are consistent with experimental data, providing a theoretical basis for plastically processing BMGs.

On simultaneous enhancement in local yield strength and plasticity of short-term annealed bulk metallic glasses

Priyanka Saini et al.

Summary: The variations in local yield strength and plasticity of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass at different fictive temperatures were studied using nanoindentation and microindentation. The results showed an increase in incipient plastic events and subsequent pop-ins with increasing fictive temperature. Statistical analysis of strength scatter was used to determine the activation parameters for shear transformation zones (STZs) in all specimens. The increase in shear yield strength and plasticity with increasing fictive temperature was explained by considering the linear accumulation of STZs to form a shear band.

Atomic-scale icosahedral short-range ordering in a rejuvenated Zr-based bulk metallic glass upon deep cryogenic treatment

Yuhui Zhu et al.

Summary: The formation and distribution of loose-packing and dense-packing regions in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) can affect the macroscopic mechanical properties and the trade-off between strength and ductility. This study systematically investigates the structural heterogeneity caused by deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) and its effects on the deformation mechanisms in rejuvenated BMGs. The results suggest that the optimization of structural features, such as icosahedral short-range ordering (ISRO), can enhance the plasticity and strength of BMGs, leading to potential applications in designing BMGs with strength-ductility synergy.

Effect of deep cryogenic cycling treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-based bulk metallic glass

J. W. Lv et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of deep cryogenic cycle treatment (DCT) on the microstructure and mechanical behaviors of Ti33Zr30Cu9Ni5.5Be22.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG). The results showed that DCT increased relaxation enthalpy, room-temperature plasticity, and compressive plasticity. The enhancement of plasticity was attributed to the increase in shear transformation zone (STZ) volumes and decrease in shear band formation energy induced by DCT.

A universal criterion for the failure threshold in slowly sheared bulk metallic glasses

Y. S. Luo et al.

Summary: This study establishes a theory bridging the free-volume and shear-transformation zone concepts to predict the failure threshold of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and investigates the physical mechanism of slip. The room-temperature theoretical failure threshold follows a material-dependent criterion similar to the glass-transition temperature, providing a quantitative understanding of failure mechanisms highly dependent on serrations in BMGs. The linear relation between the increment of free-volume and strain rate at small time intervals describes inhomogeneous flow.

Revealing the structural heterogeneity of metallic glass: Mechanical and nanoindentation

K. Tao et al.

Summary: Microstructural heterogeneity in metallic glasses plays a crucial role in influencing their mechanical and physical properties. Researchers have found that severe plastic deformation can enhance the spatial structural heterogeneity and reduce the energy barrier for shear transformation zones (STZs) activation. The study suggests that decreasing barriers and increasing nucleation sites of STZs during physical aging to rejuvenation may improve the plasticity in metallic glasses.
