A predictive structural model for bulk metallic glasses
Great progress has been made in understanding the atomic structure of metallic glasses, but there is still no clear connection between atomic structure and glass-forming ability. Here we give new insights into perhaps the most important question in the field of amorphous metals: how can glass-forming ability be predicted from atomic structure? We give a new approach to modelling metallic glass ...
متن کاملDecomposition and primary crystallization in undercooled Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 melts
Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 bulk metallic glasses were prepared by cooling the melt with a rate of about 10 K/s and investigated with respect to their chemical and structural homogeneity by atom probe field ion microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The measurements on these slowly cooled samples reveal that the alloy exhibits phase separation in the undercooled liquid state. Signi...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of shear transformation zones for plastic flow of bulk metallic glasses.
We report experimental characterization of shear transformation zones (STZs) for plastic flow of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) based on a newly developed cooperative shearing model [Johnson WL, Samwer K (2005) A universal criterion for plastic yielding of metallic glasses with a (T/T(g))(2/3) temperature dependence. Phys Rev Lett 95: 195501]. The good agreement between experimental measurements ...

Yield point of metallic glass
Shear bands form in most bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) within a narrow range of uniaxial strain ey @ 2%. We propose this critical condition corresponds to embryonic shear band (ESB) propagation, not its nucleation. To propagate an ESB, the far-field shear stress s1 Eey/2 must exceed the quasi-steady-state glue traction sglue of shear-alienated glass until the glass transition temperature is appr...
