Homogeneous deformation of Zr–Ti–Al–Cu–Ni bulk metallic glasses

Zr–Ti–Al–Ni–Cu bulk metallic glasses have been prepared by copper mould casting and were characterized using neutron and X-ray diffraction and scanning calorimetry in the as-cast glassy state and during crystallization. Depending on chemical composition, the under-cooled liquid domain separating the glass transition temperature (Tg) from the onset of crystallization (Tx) ranges from 82 to 102 K, for a heating rate of 20 K/min.The visco-plastic …
