Unusual room temperature ductility of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass containing nanoparticles

Journal Article Qiang, J B ; Zhang, W ; Xie, G Q ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Highly ductile Zr{sub 65}Al{sub 7.5}Cu{sub 27.5} bulk metallic glass (BMG) containing nanometer scaled fcc phase was obtained by copper mold casting. Room temperature compression tests revealed superior mechanical properties of the alloy: yielding stress of 1670 MPa, Young's modulus of 90 GPa, elastic strain of 2%, and especially a remarkable plasticity of over 50%. The marginal BMG is a useful model system to examine the nanocrystal coalescence model and the shear-transformation-zone model proposed for large scale plastic deformations of metallic glasses.

Substantial tensile ductility in sputtered Zr-Ni-Al nano-sized metallic glass

Journal Article Liontas, Rachel ; Jafary-Zadeh, Mehdi ; Zeng, Qiaoshi ; ... - Acta Materialia

We investigate the mechanical behavior and atomic-level structure of glassy Zr-Ni-Al nano-tensile specimens with widths between 75 and 215 nm. We focus our studies on two different energy states: (1) as-sputtered and (2) sputtered then annealed below the glass transition temperature (T_g). In-situ tensile experiments conducted inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveal substantial tensile ductility in some cases reaching >10% engineering plastic strains, >150% true plastic strains, and necking down to a point during tensile straining in specimens as wide as ~150 nm. We found the extent of ductility depends on both the specimen size and the annealing conditions.more »« less

Universal structural parameter to quantitatively predict metallic glass properties

Journal Article Ding, Jun ; Cheng, Yong-Qiang ; Sheng, Howard ; ... - Nature Communications

Quantitatively correlating the amorphous structure in metallic glasses (MGs) with their physical properties has been a long-sought goal. Here we introduce flexibility volume' as a universal indicator, to bridge the structural state the MG is in with its properties, on both atomic and macroscopic levels. The flexibility volume combines static atomic volume with dynamics information via atomic vibrations that probe local configurational space and interaction between neighbouring atoms. We demonstrate that flexibility volume is a physically appropriate parameter that can quantitatively predict the shear modulus, which is at the heart of many key properties of MGs. Moreover, the new parametermore »« less

Room temperature tensile ductility in polycrystalline B2 NiAl

Journal Article Hahn, K H ; Vedula, K - Scr. Metall.; (United States)

The lack of tensile ductility in polycrystalline B2 NiAl has been attributed to the lack of five independent slip systems to satisfy von Mises' criterion for compatibility in polycrystalline deformation. Single crystal studies (4-10) show that the deformation of this alloy is highly anisotropic. The non-<100> oriented crystals (soft orientations) are much more ductile than the <100> oriented crystals (hard orientations) at low temperature. This is because the critical resolved shear stress required to activate primary slip of the <100> type is much less than that required to activate other slip systems as the <111> type. All orientations possess considerablemore »« less

The effect of iron, gallium and molybdenum on the room temperature tensile ductility of NiAl

Journal Article Darolia, R ; Lahrman, D ; Field, R - Scripta Metallurgica et Materialia; (United States)

The low density and high thermal conductivity of NiAl compared to nickel-base superalloys make NiAl alloys attractive materials for turbine airfoils. The lack of ductility at lower temperatures has been one of the barriers limiting the use of NiAl alloys. The authors identify microalloying additions to NiAl which have demonstrated very significant improvements in the room temperature tensile ductility. The purpose of this paper is to provide details of the experimental data and preliminary information on the potential mechanisms for the ductility improvement.
