Evaluation of the Elastic Properties of Bulk Metallic Glasses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of bulk metallic glasses as a prominent class of functional and structural materials has attracted considerable interest in the last years. One of the fundamental physical quantities necessary to describe the mechanical properties of the materials is the bulk modulus. In the present article, a simple method to estimate the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative is proposed. It is shown that these quantities can be estimated from the values of the constituent elements and their compositions. Comparison with measured data shows good agreement. The physical background of the method is discussed based on the jellium model of metals.

Bulk metallic glass composite with good tensile ductility, high strength and large elastic strain limit
Bulk metallic glasses exhibit high strength and large elastic strain limit but have no tensile ductility. However, bulk metallic glass composites reinforced by in-situ dendrites possess significantly improved toughness but at the expense of high strength and large elastic strain limit. Here, we report a bulk metallic glass composite with strong strain-hardening capability and large elastic stra...

Fragility and Glass-Forming Ability of the Ca-Mg-Cu System
Elastic moduli of the glass and fragility of the corresponding supercooled liquid were found to be correlated in recently published results. In the present work, compositions within the Ca-Mg-Cu system are used to study the relationships between liquid fragility, glass-forming ability and elastic properties. The correlation between liquid fragility and elastic properties already observed for gl...

متن کاملThermal-activation model for freezing and the elastic robustness of bulk metallic glasses
Despite significant atomic-scale heterogeneity, bulk metallic glasses well below their glass transition temperature exhibit a surprisingly robust elastic regime and a sharp elastic-to-plastic transition. Here it is shown that, when the number of available structural transformations scales exponentially with system size, a simple thermal-activation model is able to describe these features, where...
