AbstractThe problem of structural properties and structural defects of amorphous solids is still of vital importance. To make clear whether stable point defects exist in metallic glasses (MGs) or not, we have studied the accumulation and recovery kinetics of radiation defects in ZrTiCuNiBe and ZrTiCuNiAl bulk MGs irradiated with 2.5 MeV electrons at T ∼ 80 K. The electrical resistance measurements of the irradiated samples were performed. The recovery spectrum of irradiation-induced electrical resistance was measured for the 85–300 K temperature range. The most important result of the recovery experiments is that they clearly show the annealing stages for the irradiated samples. Two annealing peaks located at T∼150 K and T∼225 K are resolved for ZrTiCuNiBe glass. Similar peaks are also revealed for ZrTiCuNiAl. It can be concluded from the data that the defect mobility is a thermally activated process, and that the activation energy is not as high as that for vacancies in crystalline alloys. Thus, the data obtained testify in favor of the structure with “perfect” local ordering of atoms. It should be noted that this property is basic in the formulation of the polycluster model of amorphous solids.

The various technologically important properties of metallic glasses are intimately connected to their amorphous structure that lacks the archetypical structural defects of polycrystalline metals and alloys, i.e. dislocations and grain boundaries. However, the amorphous structure also limits the application potential of this class of materials because of a macroscopically brittle behavior and size limitations. Consequently, with some exceptions, at least one dimension for technological products is limited to a few millimeters or even less. With the presented technological approach this drawback will be addressed. Our first results on several alloys show that with a dedicated instrumentation amorphous granulates can be successfully produced. By hot pressing in the supercooled liquid region, these granulates can be compacted into bulk shapes in the cm range. Further, due to the low viscosity of the supercooled liquid state, this technology disposes of a high formability. It is demonstrated that not only compact samples but also complex shapes in near net shape geometry can be produced. Results on the mechanical properties and microstructure will be discussed and related to important processing issues. Even though this technological approach does not directly address the second drawback of bulk metallic glasses, i.e. catastrophic failure due to highly localized shear bands, it is believed that this route offers possible pathways to improve this issue as well and, most important, to offer a technological route for implementing bulk metallic glasses into products of rather arbitrary shape and larger size.
