- ItemDeformation-induced martensitic transformation in Cu-Zr-Zn bulk metallic glass composites(Basel : MDPI, 2015) Wu, Dianyu; Song, Kaikai; Cao, Chongde; Li, Ran; Wang, Gang; Wu, Yuan; Wan, Feng; Ding, Fuli; Shi, Yue; Bai, Xiaojun; Kaban, Ivan; Eckert, JürgenThe microstructures and mechanical properties of (Cu0.5Zr0.5)100−xZnx (x = 0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 7, 10, and 14 at. %) bulk metallic glass (BMG) composites were studied. CuZr martensitic crystals together with minor B2 CuZr and amorphous phases dominate the microstructures of the as-quenched samples with low Zn additions (x = 0, 1.5, and 2.5 at. %), while B2 CuZr and amorphous phases being accompanied with minor martensitic crystals form at a higher Zn content (x = 4.5, 7, 10, and 14 at. %). The fabricated Cu-Zr-Zn BMG composites exhibit macroscopically appreciable compressive plastic strain and obvious work-hardening due to the formation of multiple shear bands and the deformation-induced martensitic transformation (MT) within B2 crystals. The present BMG composites could be a good candidate as high-performance structural materials.
