Abstract:The longitudinal and transverse sound velocities and Vickers hardness of metallic glasses (Pd1 ? xNix)0.80P0.20, (Pd1 ? xFex)0.80P0.20 and (Pt1 ? xNix)0.75P0.25 have been measured. The elastic constants at room temperature exhibit a positive deviation with composition χ from linearity whereas the hardness shows a negative deviation. The increase in elastic constants has been attributed to a denser packing of the alloys on mixing. The reduced hardness HrH/μ versus χ exhibits a remarkable similarity to a Tg versus χ relationship. This seems to indicate that flow mechanisms involved in metallic glasses above and below the glass-transition temperature are of similar origins. It is the excess entropy of disorder associated with alloying which lowers the hardness as well as the viscosity of metallic glasses. The metallic glasses possess in general a relatively high Poisson's ratio ν ≈ 0.40 and a shear modulus approaching that of the noble metals Cu, Ag and Au. Among the metallic glasses observed, the PtP glasses exhibit the highest ν = 0.42, whereas the glasses containing Fe tend to have lower values. The phenomenon that the conduction electrons in the glassy alloys behave as in the noble metals may be partly attributed to the filling of d shell orbitals of the transition metals in the PtP, PdP and NiP alloys. The high ν of metallic glasses is believed to be responsible for the ductile behavior of these glasses. Poisson's ratio ν of metallic glasses was observed to decrease with decreasing temperature. It is suggested that the decreasing ν with falling temperature causes the rapid increase in the fracture strength of Fe-based glasses.
