Abstract:

The deformation and mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under a nanoindenter and the effect of cooling rate, the effect of cooling rate, tungsten fiber addition and annealing on them have been studied by means of a nanoindentation instrument and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the deformation of Zr-based BMGs under a nanoindenter is characterized by multiple shear bands and viscous flow which confirms the existence of a amount of plastic deformation. For pure quenched Zr-based BMGs, the larger the size of samples or the nearer the location away from the surface of a same sample, the smaller the values of microhardness (Hv) and elastic modulus (E); Annealing and tungsten fiber addition enhance the values of Hv and E; meanwhile, they also significantly change morphology around a nanoindenter and the amount of plastic deformation. The mechanism of plastic deformation is preliminarily analyzed.
