Influence of Composition and Plastic Deformation on the Hydrogen Internal Friction Peak in Amorphous Co-Zr Alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vibrating-reed measurements of the hydrogen internal friction peak were performed on a series of CO-Zr glasses ranging from C O ~ ~ Z ~ ~ ~ to Co24Zr76 Variations in peak shape and growth behaviour (on increasing the H concentration) were observed for different alloy compositions, together with an increase of the average activation energy with cobalt concentration. These fmdings can be explained by the interstitial reorientation mechanism, assuming reorientation jumps of the H atoms between Zr4 tetrahedra; the activation energy increase then reflects the increase of the average Zr-Zr nearest neighbour distance with CO concentration known for this system. In Co55?45, two peaks were detected under certain H-charging conditions, possibly as a result of a chemical decomposit~on. After cold-rolling, additional IF peaks appear superimposed on the hydrogen peak (with large scatter), but can be distinguished as separate processes by a different annealing behaviour.

Bulk amorphous Zr-based alloys exhibit interesting mechanical properties, i.e. extremely high yield strength combined with a relatively low Young’s modulus at ambient temperatures as well as Newtonian flow in the supercooled liquid state [3]. However, applications of these materials require also high stability in various environments in order to ensure an a...

We present investigations on the plastic deformation behavior of a brittle bulk amorphous alloy by simple uniaxial compressive loading at room temperature. A patterning is possible by cold-plastic forming of the typically brittle Hf-based bulk amorphous alloy through controlling homogenous flow without the need for thermal energy or shaping at elevated temperatures. The experimental evidence su...
