Structural heterogeneities and mechanical behavior of amorphous alloys

The mechanical properties of ex-situ and in-situ metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) have proven to be both scientifically unique and of potentially important for practical applications. However, the underlying deformation mechanisms remain to be studied. In this article, we review the development, fabrication, microstructures, and properties of MGMCs, including the room-temperature, cryogenic-temperature, and high-temperature mechanical properties upon quasi-static and dynamic loadings. In parallel, the deformation mechanisms are experimentally and theoretically explored. Moreover, the fatigue, corrosion, and wear behaviors of MGMCs are discussed. Finally, the potential applications and important unresolved issues are identified and discussed.

Dynamic relaxations and relaxation-property relationships in metallic glasses

A mandrel winding method, which can realize remarkable homogeneous plastic deformation at room temperature for various metallic glasses, is applied to characterize plastic flow units and study their relationship with macroscopic deformations and relaxations. The method can provide information on the activation energy, activation time, size, intrinsic relaxation time, distribution, and density of flow units. We find the plasticity of a metallic glass can be controlled through modulating the features of flow units. The results have benefits for better understanding the structural origins of deformations and relaxations, and for designing metallic glasses with improved performances.

Flow unit perspective on room temperature homogeneous plastic deformation in metallic glasses.

We characterize the evolution of flow units associated with the flow “defects” in metallic glass by monitoring the fictive temperature change of a typical metallic glass upon isothermal annealing below its glass transition temperature. The correlations between the fictive temperature Tf, enthalpy change, and the concentration of flow units have been obtained. Such correlations help in understanding the evolution process of flow units, structural feature, and structural relaxation behaviors in metallic glasses, and can rationalize effects of the cooling rate, aging, and annealing on properties and structure of metallic glasses.
