Study of the Mechanical Behaviour of a Zr-Based Metallic Glass Rod Using Micro- and Nano-Indentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanical properties of a Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 metallic glass rod are investigated by Vickers microhardness and depth-sensing nanoindentation. The alloy exhibits a relatively large hardness which decreases when increasing the maximum applied load. Serrated flow is also observed during nanoindentation. Both effects are related to deformationinduced mechanical softening.

متن کاملA Nano-indentation Identification Technique for Viscoelastic Constitutive Characteristics of Periodontal Ligaments
Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...

متن کاملTHE EFFECTS OF GAMMA-RAY ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF Zr-BASED BULK METALLIC GLASS
The effect of gamma-ray irradiation on the mechanical properties of Zr55Ni5Al10Cu30 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was investigated. The samples were irradiated with a gamma-ray dose up to 2090.24 kGy prior to mechanical property investigations. Vickers hardness test, nano-indentation test as well as speed of sound measurements in order to calculate the material’s elastic moduli were conducted. An x...
