Atomistic simulation of shear localization in Cu–Zr bulk metallic glass
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shear deformations of Cu57Zr43 bulk metallic glass (BMG) model systems are performed using molecular dynamics simulation. The results suggest that both the hydrostatic stress and the stress normal to the shear plane should affect the shear response (modified Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion). We see shear localization and shear band nucleation in both a small system of 2000 atoms, and large systems of 524,288 atoms, and analyze local atomic structure evolution. q 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Microstructure controlled shear band pattern formation and enhanced plasticity of bulk metallic glasses containing in situ formed ductile phase dendrite dispersions
Results are presented for a ductile metal reinforced bulk metallic glass matrix composite based on glass forming compositions in the Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be system. Primary dendrite growth and solute partitioning in the molten state yields a microstructure consisting of a ductile crystalline Ti-Zr-Nb beta phase, with bcc structure, in a Zr-Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Be bulk metallic glass matrix. Under unconstrained m...
متن کاملInhomogeneous structure and glass-forming ability in Zr-based bulk metallic glasses
Recently, a series of quaternary Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), i.e., Zr53Cu18.7Ni12Al16.3, Zr51.9Cu23.3Ni10.5Al14.3 and Zr50.7Cu28Ni9Al12.3, have been developed and their glass-forming ability (GFA) increases with Cu concentration. In this work, atomic structures of the three BMGs were rebuilt by reverse Monte Carlo simulations based on the reduced pair distribution functions measured ...
متن کاملTransformation-mediated Plasticity in CuZr based Metallic Glass Composites: A Quantitative Mechanistic Understanding
In this paper, we present a thorough stress analysis of the Cu-Zr metallic-glass composite with embedded B2 particles subject to a martensitic transformation. Within the framework of the Eshelby theory, we are able to explain, in a quantitative manner, (1) the formation of three types of shear bands with distinct morphologies as observed experimentally in the severely deformed Cu-Zr metallic-gl...
متن کاملPhase Separation and Crystallization in Cu-Zr Metallic Glasses
The structural behavior of rapidly quenched Cu-Zr amorphous alloys was analyzed. High energy X-ray diffraction patterns and atomic pair correlation functions exhibit monotonic changes with composition. The experimental results can be well described by a solid solution-like replacement of Cu and Zr atoms in the whole composition range. No indications are observed that would support the existence...
متن کاملFracture Toughness Study on Bulk Metallic Glasses and Novel Joining Method Using Bulk Metallic Glass Solder
The fracture toughness of three new compositional variants of the Zr-Ti-Be-LTM (Late Transition Metal) family of bulk metallic glasses (BMG’s) are studied in the as-cast and annealed condition. Quaternary Zr-Ti-Cu-Be alloys consistently had linear elastic fracture toughness values greater than 80 MPa·m, while Vitreloy 1, a Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be alloy, had an average fracture toughness of 48.5 MPa·m wi...
