Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The aim of the present study is to shed some insights on the effect of cooling rate on the microstructure and mechanical properties for glass-forming alloys. A crystalline gradient was observed in the microstructure of 12 mm diameter Zr51Al9.96Ni14.34Cu24.9(Zr51) alloy sample from the edge to center due to uneven cooling rates. Microhardness results indicate that the lower the cooling rate, the higher the hardness for the studied alloy.

Fiber Addition

The deformation and mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under a nanoindenter and the effect of cooling rate, the effect of cooling rate, tungsten fiber addition and annealing on them have been studied by means of a nanoindentation instrument and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the deformation of Zr-based BMGs under a nanoindenter is characterized by multiple shear bands and viscous flow which confirms the existence of a amount of plastic deformation. For pure quenched Zr-based BMGs, the larger the size of samples or the nearer the location away from the surface of a same sample, the smaller the values of microhardness (Hv) and elastic modulus (E); Annealing and tungsten fiber addition enhance the values of Hv and E; meanwhile, they also significantly change morphology around a nanoindenter and the amount of plastic deformation. The mechanism of plastic deformation is preliminarily analyzed.
