Influence of Structural Relaxation on Compressive Plasticity of Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10 Bulk Metallic Glass

Article Preview

Abstract:

Structural relaxation through isothermal annealing below the glass transition temperature was conducted on a Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10 bulk metallic glass. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to quantify enthalpy differences between the as-cast and relaxed samples, which were then related to average free volume differences. The influence of structural relaxation on plasticity was examined. While the free volume decreasement can be clearly observed between the as-cast and relaxed samples, structural relaxation is not accompanied by severe embrittlement.
