ABSTRACTEffects of atomic-scale open-volume regions in metallic glass structure on the flow and fracture behavior of a Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu-Be bulk metallic glass were examined. Studies of relaxation time scales showed that atomic arrangement processes for viscous flow were significantly retarded with annealing. Plane strain fracture toughness was significantly decreased and fatigue crack crack-growth rates were dramatically increased, indicating degradation of resistance to crack extension as a result of annealing. Fracture morphology completely changed from vein patterns to cleavage-like features with little evidence of plasticity with annealing. The positron lifetime and Doppler broadening experiments revealed decreased open-volume regions as a result of annealing. The loss of stress relief ability by retarded crack tip viscous flow as a result of the anneal-out of open-volume regions is believed to contribute to observed annealing embrittlement.

A strong temperature dependence of positron annihilation with low-momentum electrons is reported for a Zr-based bulk metallic glass in the temperature range 50–300 K. The observed behavior was rationalized in terms of shallow versus deep positron traps. An interpretation of the data was presented based on the idea that there were two different types of open-volume regions: Bernal interstitial sites and thermally unstable larger holes. Bernal interstitial sites, intrinsic to the glass structure, were found to be insensitive to annealing. Alternatively, the larger holes were removed by annealing. The strong correlation between these larger holes and diffusion and viscous flow processes suggests that they may act as diffusion and flow defects.
