Title: Deformation behavior of annealed Cu64Zr36 metallic glass via molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract

In the present work, we investigate the isothermal annealing process of Cu64Zr36 metallic glass (MG) by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and characterize the compression properties under different temperatures and compressive rates. The pair distribution functions, the bond-orientational order, and the cluster-type index method are modeled and analyzed to characterize changes in the structure. Results of the modeling and analysis reveal that the MgZn2-type Laves, MgCu2-type Laves and five-fold local symmetry structures can be formed during the isothermal holding at 950 K. Study on the compression properties shows that at a fixed strain rate, the yield strength and yield drop all increase with decreasing temperature. At a fixed temperature, however, the increase of the strain rate leads to a noticeable increase in the yield strength at 600 K, but has little effect on yield strength at 10 K. Moreover, the modeling and analysis of the structure at a temperature of 10 K and strain-rate of 5 × 107 s-1 demonstrate that the order-disorder transformation initiates the shear band.
