“…We also noticed the inconsistency between the reported enhanced compressive plasticity [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and the reduced bending plasticity presented here in a certain range of cryogenic temperature. The enhanced compressive plasticity is generally believed to result from an intrinsic shear-band nucleation rate that increases with decreasing temperature [1,5,7].…”

“…On the other hand, the strengthened materials at low temperature usually behave more brittle. However, very interestingly, it is reported that BMGs at cryogenic temperature show enhanced plasticity in compression [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], even in tension [9,10]. Such plasticity improvement was attributed to multiple-nucleation of shear bands at low temperature [1,5,7].…”

“…Similar to crystalline alloys, BMGs usually exhibit higher strength with the decrease of the ambient temperature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Its underlying mechanism has been discussed in terms of shear transformation zones (STZs) [1,3,5,[10][11][12].…”

a b s t r a c tThree-point bending experiments were performed on Zr 52.5 Cu 17.9 Ni 14.6 Al 10 Ti 5 (Vit105) bulk metallic glass (BMGs) over a wide range of ambient temperatures varying from the liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) to about boiling water temperature (370 K). The results demonstrated that the flexural strength of the Zrbased BMG monotonously increased with decreasing of test temperature, whereas plastic deformation ability displayed a maximum at a moderate temperature (about room temperature). That is, the plastic deformation ability was deteriorated by either higher or lower temperature than room temperature through affecting shear band nucleation and propagation within materials respectively.

“…13 225 at 77 K might also be ascribed to the decrease of the STZ volume due to low temperature, where nano-scaled "chevron" patterns rather than vein patterns on the low temperature fracture surface indicate an apparent decrease in the plasticity [7]. While for other BMGs [49][50][51][52][53][54][55] with both enhancements of yield strength and plasticity under compression when the test temperatures decrease from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K), a lower test temperature might introduce a brittle failure, i.e. ductile-to-brittle transition.…”

Shear transformation zone volume determining ductile–brittle transition of bulk metallic glasses

Three-point bending experiments were performed on as-cast and annealed samples of Zr 52.5 Cu 17.9 Ni 14.6 Al 10 Ti 5 (Vit105) bulk metallic glasses over a wide range of temperatures varying from room temperature (293 K) to liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K). The results demonstrated that the free volume decrease due to annealing and/or cryogenic temperature can reduce the propensity for the formation of multiple shear bands and hence deteriorate plastic deformation ability. We clearly observed a sharp ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT), across which microscopic fracture feature transfers from micro-scale vein patterns to nano-scale periodic corrugations. Macroscopically, the corresponding fracture mode changes from ductile shear fracture to brittle tensile fracture. The shear transformation zone volume, taking into account free volume, temperature and strain rate, is proposed to quantitatively characterize the DBT behavior in fracture of metallic glasses.

“…[14][15][16] Consequently, we performed compression tests at cryogenic temperatures and at various strain rates using Cu 45 Zr 45 Al 5 Ag 5 , Zr 55 Al 10 Ni 5 Cu 30 and Ni 60 Pd 20 P 17 B 3 BGA samples. [17][18][19] It was found that the compressive maximum strength and plastic strain prior to failure are higher at cryogenic temperatures than at ambient temperature. Recently, Huang et al 20) reported similar results in compression tests for a Ti 40 Zr 25 Ni 3 Cu 12 Be 20 BGA.…”

No data are available about mechanical behavior of bulk glassy alloys (BGAs) in tension at cryogenic temperatures. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior of ternary eutectic and hypoeutectic Zr-Cu-Al BGAs fabricated by an arc tilt casting method. Tensile tests were performed for the BGA plates with gauge dimensions of 5 mm in length, 1.2 mm in width and 0.5 mm in thickness at temperatures of 295, 223, 173 and 77 K, at an initial strain rate of 5 Â 10 À4 s À1 . Measurements of elastic parameters were also made at temperatures from 97 to 342 K by an ultrasonic pulse method. It is found that the tensile strength and elongation for both BGAs increase with decreasing testing temperature, which is reported for the first time under a tensile condition. At cryogenic temperatures, the tensile elongation of the hypoeutectic Zr 59 Cu 31 Al 10 BGA tends to be higher than that of the eutectic Zr 50 Cu 40 Al 10 BGA, although the difference is small. Multiple shear bands are observed on the side surface deformed at lower temperatures. The Young's and shear moduli, and Debye temperature monotonically increase with decreasing temperature. This indicates that the BGA becomes rigid and the effective atomic distance decreases at cryogenic temperatures, leading to the increase of the tensile strength at cryogenic temperatures.
