Abstract:Metallic glasses have been expected to be used as structural materials since their high strength and high hardness. Unfortunately, their catastrophic brittle fracture behavior with poor plasticity becomes the major weakness for structural application. It has been recognized that the mechanism of plastic deformation in metallic glasses is through the formation of shear bands, which provide them with limited ductility. Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique which can introduce dee… Show more
