The quasi-static compressive deformation behavior of a Vitreloy 1 bulk metallic glass (BMG) with an aspect ratio of 0.25 was investigated. It is found that the friction and the confinement at the specimen–loading platen interface will cause the dramatic increase in the compressive load, leading to higher compressive strength. In particular, the BMG specimens show great plastic-deformation ability, and plenty of interacted, deflected, wavy, or branched shear bands were observed on the surfaces after plastic deformation. The formation of the strongly interacted, deflected, wavy, or branched shear bands can be attributed to the triaxial stress state in the glassy specimens with a very small aspect ratio.

The Zr62Cu22Al10Fe5Dy1 bulk metallic glass was subjected to high pressure torsion (HPT) processing at temperatures of 20 and 150°C. Structural studies were carried out by TEM on the lamella-sample prepared from the HPT-specimens in transversal direction to the specimen plane. TEM studies revealed formation of multiple shear bands with spacings in a 20-50 nm range for both HPT states. Shear bands could be divided in two types: primary and secondary bands. The morphology of shear bands strongly depends on the processing temperature. Shear bands are distributed homogeneously throughout the whole lamella-sample for state processed by HPT at temperature of 20°C. Regions with shear bands are divided by amorphous regions on lamella-sample cut from the sample processed by HPT at temperature of 150°C. Analysis of optical microscopy and SEM data showed that shear bands are distributed throughout the whole volume of HPT-specimens.

Effect Of Structure

Vickers and nano indentations were performed on a structurally relaxed Zr41Ti14Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG), and the evolution of the shear bands in the relaxed BMG was investigated and compared to that in the as-cast alloy. Results indicate that the plastic deformation in the BMG with structure relaxation is accommodated by the semicircular (primary) and radial (secondary) as well as tertiary shear bands. Quantitatively, the shear band density in the relaxed alloy was much lower than that in the as-cast alloy. The annihilation of free volume caused by the annealing was responsible for the embrittlement of the sample with structure relaxation.

Instrumented indentation experiments on a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) in as-cast, shot-peened and structurally relaxed conditions were conducted to examine the dependence of plastic deformation on its structural state. Results show significant differences in hardness, H, with structural relaxation increasing it and shot peening markedly reducing it, and slightly changed morphology of shear bands around the indents. This effect is in contrast to uniaxial compressive yield strength, σy, which remains invariant with the change in the structural state of the alloys investigated. The plastic constraint factor, C = H/σy, of the relaxed BMG increases compared with that of the as-cast glass, indicating enhanced pressure sensitivity upon annealing. In contrast, C of the shot-peened layer was found to be similar to that observed in crystalline metals, indicating that severe plastic deformation could eliminate pressure sensitivity. Microscopic origins for this result, in terms of shear transformation zones and free volume, are discussed.

Using an infrared camera, the plastic deformation of a relaxed Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0 bulk-metallic glass in a moderately high strain rate compression was observed in situ. The specimen exhibits an inhomogeneous deformation, which is manifested by serrated plastic flow, shear banding, and obvious work softening. Shear-banding operations were observed throughout the plastic deformation. Shear-banding operations started before the nominal yielding; shear bands could not block each other, but their interaction seems to accelerate the plastic deformation. A significant increase in the specimen’s temperature was observed due to shear banding.

In the present study, Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 bulk metallic glass composites were developed by spark plasma sintering(SPS) using gas atomized Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 metallic glass powders and Ta powders. Metallic glass composites with Ta phase were fabricated by SPS. The successful consolidation of Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 metallic glass matrix composites with the Ta phase was achieved through the strong bonding due to the plastic deformation of the Ta powder and the super-plastic behavior of the metallic glass powder in the supercooled liquid state during SPS. The deformed Ta phases were well distributed in the Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 metallic glass matrix. The compressive fracture strength and total strain were 1770 Mpa and 10.2%, respectively, for the Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 bulk metallic glass composite with 40 wt% Ta phases. The uniformly dispersed deformed Ta phase in the Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 metallic glass matrix effectively impedes the propagation of the first shear band and generates a second shear band, causing a crossing of the shear bands, resulting in an improvement in plastic strain. This increase in plastic deformation is related to the fact that the deformed Ta phase, uniformly distributed in the Cu54Ni6Zr22Ti18 metallic glass matrix, acts as a source of shear bands and at the same time effectively suppresses the movement of the shear bands, dispersing the stress and causing wide plastic deformation.

Nanoindentation tests of Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 bulk metallic glass were performed over a wide range of indentation rates (from 0.04 up to 6.4 mN s−1) under the standard load control mode. New results using the feedback displacement control mode are also presented. The dependence of the pop-in formation on the loading rate is investigated. Variations in hardness and reduced elastic modulus as a function of the indentation rate are observed. A softening effect occurs when increasing the loading rate. This is explained by the differences in plastic deformation achieved at different indentation rates. The displacement control mode was used to avoid the shear localization of the free volume, leading to the almost complete absence of pop-ins along the loading curve. The obtained results suggest that plastic flow in bulk metallic glasses is governed by the rate of creation of free volume, which depends on the strain rate and its localization into shear bands.

An experimental study of the inelastic deformation of bulk metallic glass Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 under multiaxial compression using a confining sleeve technique is presented. In contrast to the catastrophic shear failure (brittle) in uniaxial compression, the metallic glass exhibited large inelastic deformation of more than 10% under confinement, demonstrating the nature of ductile deformation under constrained conditions in spite of the long-range disordered characteristic of the material. It was found that the metallic glass followed a pressure (p) dependent Tresca criterion τ = τ0 + βp, and the coefficient of the pressure dependence β was 0.17. Multiple parallel shear bands oriented at 45° to the loading direction were observed on the surfaces of the deformed specimens and were responsible for the overall inelastic deformation.
