Shock wave response of a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass and its composite

چکیده
A zirconium-based bulk metallic glass, Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 ~Vit 1!, and its composite, Zr56.3Ti13.8Cu6.9Ni5.6Nb5.0Be12.5 ~b-Vit!, were subjected to planar impact loading. A surprisingly low amplitude elastic precursor and bulk wave, corresponding to the elastic response of the ‘‘frozen structure’’ of the intact metallic glasses, were observed to precede the rate-dependent large deformation shock wave. A concave downward curvature after the initial increase of the Us – Up shock Hugoniots suggests that a phase-change-like transition occurred during shock compression. Further, compression damage occurred due to the shear localization. The spalling in Vit 1 was induced by shear localization, while in b-Vit, it was due to debonding of the b-phase boundary from the matrix. The spall strengths at strain rate of 2310 s were determined to be 2.35 and 2.11 GPa for Vit 1 and b-Vit, respectively. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1485300#

Extreme rejuvenation and softening in a bulk metallic glass
Rejuvenation of metallic glasses, bringing them to higher-energy states, is of interest in improving their plasticity. The mechanisms of rejuvenation are poorly understood, and its limits remain unexplored. We use constrained loading in compression to impose substantial plastic flow on a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass. The maximum measured effects are that the hardness of the glass decreas...
متن کاملSpall strength of a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass under shock-induced compression-and-shear loading
We present results of a series of plate-impact experiments conducted to understand spall threshold in a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass (BMG), Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5, following normal shock-induced compression and combined compression-and-shear loading. The experiments were conducted using a 82.5 mm bore single-stage gas-gun. A multibeam VALYN VISAR was used to measure the particle–...
متن کاملShock Wave Response of Iron-based In Situ Metallic Glass Matrix Composites
The response of amorphous steels to shock wave compression has been explored for the first time. Further, the effect of partial devitrification on the shock response of bulk metallic glasses is examined by conducting experiments on two iron-based in situ metallic glass matrix composites, containing varying amounts of crystalline precipitates, both with initial composition Fe49.7Cr17.7Mn1.9Mo7.4...
متن کاملIn situ transmission electron microscopy studies of shear bands in a bulk metallic glass based composite
In situ straining transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments were performed to study the propagation of the shear bands in the Zr56.3Ti13.8Cu6.9Ni5.6Nb5.0Be12.5 bulk metallic glass based composite. Contrast in TEM images produced by shear bands in metallic glass and quantitative parameters of the shear bands were analyzed. It was determined that, at a large amount of shear in the glass,...
متن کاملAnomalous shear band characteristics and extra-deep shock-affected zone in Zr-based bulk metallic glass treated with nanosecond laser peening
The effects of nanosecond laser peening on Zr41Ti14Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 metallic glass were investigated in this study. The peening treatment produced an extra-deep shock-affected zone compared to crystal metal. As opposed to the conventional shear bands, numerous arc shear bands appeared and aggregated in the vertical direction of the laser beam, forming basic units for accommodating plastic defor...
