This study investigates the depth-dependent mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses using the depth-sensitive nanoindentation technique. The results show that the surface hardness and elastic modulus increase, while fracture toughness decreases with decreasing indentation depth. This mechanical size effect is closely related to the evolution of shear bands at different depths.
Despite superior mechanical properties, the cross-scale mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are urgent to be revealed. Depth-sensitive nanoindentation technique was employed to directly inves-tigate the significant depth-dependent mechanical properties of three kinds of Zr-based BMGs. Specifically, the surface hardness H and elastic modulus E are verified to increase with the decrease of indentation depth while the fracture toughness KIC decreases with the indentation depth. The mechanical size effect is closely related to the evolution of shear bands at various indentation depths, which can be equivalently revealed by the distri-bution of serrated flow. Based on a relatively shallow indentation depth, the comparatively minor stress gradient established inside the micro-region underneath the indenter tip induces insufficient activation energy of shear bands, which prevents the nucleation of shear bands and further restricts plastic deformation, and ultimately results in enhanced surface hardness and elastic modulus but reduced fracture toughness. In addition, the shear band morphology of residual indentation and the stress distribution obtained from the finite element simulation provide integral evidence in support of the depth-induced mechanical size effect.
