Abstract: | Commonly, bulk metallic glasses exhibit very limited plastic deformation (<2%) at room temperature. In this letter, through appropriate composition choices, rods of Zr62.55Cu17.55Ni9.9Al10 and Zr64.80Cu14.85Ni10.35Al10 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were prepared by using copper-mold suction-casting. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry were utilized to determine their structures and thermal stabilities, and uniaxial compression tests were adopted to study their plastic deformation behaviors (PDBs) at room temperature. The results showed that Tg and Tx of the former are 651.5 K and 748 K, respectively, while those of the latter are 646 K and 750 K, respectively. Micro-hardness values are 693 ± 7 Hv and 595 ± 5 Hv for T1 and T2, respectively. During the compression tests, the former underwent about 2.5% engineering strain, i.e., 2.8% true strain, then fractured. While the latter was compressed into a flake-like form, of which, engineering strain values are larger than 70%, i.e., true strain exceeds 120%, showing super-plasticity at room temperature. It can be concluded that micro-hardness and PDBs of BMGs are very sensitive to composition. |
