The negative strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of metallic glasses is frequently observed. However, the physical essence involved is still not well understood. In the present work, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveal the strong structure heterogeneity at nanometer and tens of nanometer scales, respectively, in bulk metallic glass (BMG) Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10 subjected to fully confined compression processing. A transition of SRS of stress, from 0.012 in the as-cast specimen to −0.005 in compression processed specimen, was observed through nanoindentation. A qualitative formulation clarifies the critical role of internal stress induced by structural heterogeneity in this transition. It reveals the physical origin of this negative SRS frequently reported in structurally heterogeneous BMG alloys and its composites.

The influence of isothermal annealing on the strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) was investigated by nanoindentation. A more positive SRS is observed with a decrease in the content of the free volume (FV) of the sample. Furthermore, the SRS becomes nearly constant with increasing annealing time when the FV is annealed out. By taking into consideration the FV-assisted activation and combination of the shear transformation zones (STZs), the underlying mechanism is well understood. The current work may offer useful insights into the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties of BMGs.

The performance of clad foils in microforming deserves to be studied extensively, where the strain rate sensitivity of the clad foil concerning the forming performance is a crucial factor. In this paper, the strain rate sensitivity of the mechanical properties of coarse-grained (CG) Cu/Ni clad foils in the quasi-static strain rate range (ε˙=10−4 s−1~10−1 s−1) is explored by uniaxial tensile tests under different strain rates. The results show that the strength and ductility increase with strain rate, and the strain rate sensitivity m value is in the range of 0.012~0.015, which is three times the value of m for CG pure Cu. The fracture morphology shows that slip bands with different directions are entangled in localized areas near the interface layer. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate the formation of many edged dislocations at the Cu/Ni clad foils interface due to a mismatch interface. The improved ductility and strain rate sensitivity is attributed to the interaction and plugging of the edged dislocations with high density in the interface layer. Additionally, the influence of size effect on mechanical properties is consistently present in the quasi-static strain rate range. This paper helps to understand the strain rate sensitivity of CG clad foils and to develop clad foils in microforming processes.
