“…Greer et al (2013) proposed that the mechanical behavior of metallic glasses strongly depends on their thermal and mechanical history. Therefore, typical thermal treatments such as sub-T g annealing (Ramamurty et al, 2002), over-T g annealing , thermal cycling (Wang et al, 2012(Wang et al, , 2013 and electropulsing treatment (Zhang and Yao, 2005) all obviously affect the structural relaxation behaviors and mechanical properties of BMGs. For similar reasons, typical casting parameters such as cast temperature (Mao et al, 2009(Mao et al, , 2010 and cooling rate (Shen et al, 2007;Hu et al, 2012) also show great influence on structure and property of BMGs.…”
