The character of plastic deformation in metallic glasses is investigated through instrumented nanoindentation experiments on amorphous Pd40Ni40P20 and Mg65Cu25Gd10. Using a customized experimental apparatus, nanoindentation experiments have been conducted over four decades of indentation strain rate and from ambient temperature up to the glass transition, allowing rapid evaluation of an extensive deformation map with only small volumes of experimental material. At low rates and temperatures, inhomogeneous or serrated flow is observed, owing to the discrete operation of individual shear bands. Two distinct regimes of homogeneous flow can be identified. The first, expected, regime of homogeneous flow corresponds to the onset of viscous deformation at high temperatures and low rates, and is well described by existing mechanistic models. The second homogeneous regime occurs at high deformation rates even well below the glass transition, and arises when deformation rates exceed the characteristic rate for shear band nucleation, kinetically forcing strain distribution. By extending an existing model for glass deformation to explore shear band nucleation kinetics, this second regime is quantitatively rationalized and the natural frequency for shear band nucleation is extracted from the data. From this analysis the critical radius of a shear band as it transitions from nucleation to propagation is estimated to be in the submicron range. 相似文献

Metallic glasses have metastable structures. As a result, their plastic deformation is dependent upon structural dynamics. In the present paper, we present data obtained from Zr-base and La-base metallic glasses and discuss the kinetic aspects of plastic deformation, including both homogeneous and heterogeneous deformation. In the case of homogeneous deformation (typically occurring in the supercooled liquid region), Newtonian behavior is not universally observed and usually takes place only at low strain rates. At high strain rates, non-Newtonian behavior is usually observed. It is demonstrated that this non-Newtonian behavior is associated with in situ crystallization of the amorphous structure. In the case of heterogeneous deformation (occurring at room temperature), deformation is controlled by localized shear banding. The plastic deformation of a La-base metallic glass is also investigated using instrumented nanoindentation experiments over a broad range of indentation strain rates. At low rates, the load-displacement curves during indentation exhibit numerous serrations or pop-ins, but these serrations become less prominent as the indentation rate is increased. Using the tip velocity during pop-in as a gauge of serration activity, we find that serrated flow is only significant at indentation strain rates below a certain critical value. 相似文献

镁基非晶合金通常表现出显著的宏观脆性,因此用常规拉伸、压缩等方法对该合金的变形行为进行研究具有很大困难。本研究利用具有高时间分辨率和高空间分辨率的纳米压痕技术观察了不同加载速率下镁基非晶合金的锯齿流变行为。结果表明,低加载速率促进锯齿的形成,而高加载速率则抑制锯齿的形成。其原因是在低加载速率下,单一剪切带足以耗散外加应变;而在高加载速率条件下,由于单一剪切带不能将应变耗散掉,因此需要更多的剪切带参与变形。为了进一步解释这一锯齿流变行为,本研究采用遍历处理对每个锯齿的应变突变进行了统计分析。结果表明,在不同的加载速率下,小的应变突变服从幂律分布,且幂指数为1.45;而大的应变突变则呈现指数衰减规律。最后,借助硬度对应变速率的敏感性,估算了镁基非晶合金在纳米压人条件下剪切转变区的体积,为4.5nm^3。 相似文献

Serrated flow is a characteristic feature of plastic deformation of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with a large compression strain. However, the underlying mechanisms of the discrete plasticity in the disordered solids have been debated for many years. Here, we report mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of a Ni50Pd30P20 BMG subjected to uniaxial compression testing. Extensive nanocrystallization within shear bands and in the vicinity of fracture surfaces was observed and various crystal defects, including dislocations, twins and kink bands, were detected in the resultant nanocrystals. These observations suggest a microscopic mechanism of the serrated flow of the BMG, i.e. the stress drop is caused by local strain-softening and the arrest of shear bands is associated with in situ nanocrystallization. 相似文献

The nature of displacement burst features throughout the load-controlled instrumented indentation of a Mg65Cu25Y10 bulk metallic glass was investigated over four decades of loading rate with varying peak loads and tip geometry. Where observed in the load–displacement data, displacement burst frequency, size and duration were found to be inversely related to loading rate, despite hardness and stiffness being independent of this parameter. Based on this evidence, it is proposed that increasing the loading rate during nanoindentation does not change the mechanism of deformation from serrated flow via shear banding to smooth plastic flow but is a result of the inability to resolve the length of displacement bursts at high loading rates. A displacement burst model is proposed that was found to successfully fit the experimental data for the investigated range of loading rates. 相似文献

Despite their brittleness, silicate glasses undergo plastic deformation at the microscopic scale. Mechanical contact and indentation are the most common situations of interest. The plasticity of glasses is characterized not only by shear flow but also by a permanent densification process. After indentation, densification can locally reach 20% in a pure silica glass. In this paper, a new constitutive model, derived from experimental observations, is presented to account for the plasticity of fused silica. The use of nanoindentation tests to identify the plastic behaviour of amorphous silica is discussed. A set of material properties is determined by comparing experimental load–displacement indentation curves to the results of finite element simulations. The numerical results show good agreement with recent experimental indentation-induced densification maps obtained by Perriot et al. [Perriot A, Vandembroucq D, Barthel E, Martinez V, Grosvalet L, Martinet Ch, et al. J Am Ceram Soc 2006;89:596]. 相似文献

The plastic deformation behavior of Ce68Al10Cu20Nb2 and Ce70Al10Cu20 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) at room temperature was studied by depth-sensing nanoindentation and microindentation. It is shown that the two BMGs exhibit a continuous plastic deformation without distinct serration at the all of the studied loading rates during nanoindentation. An obvious creep displacement was observed during the holding-load segment at the maximum load for the two alloys, and the magnitude of creep during holding-load increases with loading rate. The subsurface plastic deformation zone of the two BMGs after indentation at various loading rates was investigated through bonded interface technique using depth-sensing microindentation. A highly developed shear banding pattern can be observed in the plastic deformation region, though the global load–depth curves illuminate a “homogeneous flow”. The plastic deformation behavior of the Ce-based BMGs during indentation measurements is discussed in terms of localized viscous flow. 相似文献

In this paper, shear-band interactions (SBIs) were introduced by a simple method and their effect on the dynamics of shear bands and serrated flow was studied for a Zr-based metallic glass. Statistical analysis on serrations shows that the stick–slip dynamics of interacting shear bands is a complex, scale-free process, in which shear bands are highly correlated. Both the stress drop magnitude and the incubation time for serrations follow a power-law distribution, presenting a sharp contrast to the randomly generated, uncorrelated serrated flow events in the absence of SBIs. Observations on the fracture morphologies provide further evidence and insights into the deformation dynamics dominated by SBIs. A stick–slip model for multiple shear bands with interactions is also proposed and numerically calculated. The results, in good agreement with the experimental results, quantitatively show how multiple shear bands operate and correlate, especially for those with large serrated flow events. Our studies suggest that one serration in the stress–strain curve may correspond to collective stick–slip motions of multiple shear bands for those ductile bulk metallic glasses where a large number of shear bands are observed during deformation. 相似文献

The mechanical behaviors of consolidated iron with average grain sizes from tens of nanometers to tens of microns have been systematically studied under uniaxial compression over a wide range of strain rates. In addition to the well-known strengthening due to grain size refinement, grain size dependence is observed for several other key properties of plastic deformation. In contrast with conventional coarse-grained Fe, high-strength nanocrystalline and submicron-grained Fe exhibit diminished effective strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress. The observed reduction in effective rate sensitivity is shown to be a natural consequence of low-temperature plastic deformation mechanisms in bcc metals through the application of a constitutive model for the behavior of bcc Fe in this strain rate and temperature regime. The deformation mode also changes, with shear localization replacing uniform deformation as the dominant deformation mode from the onset of plastic deformation at both low and high strain rates. The evolution and multiplication of shear bands have been monitored as a function of plastic strain. The grain size dependence is discussed with respect to possible enhanced propensity for plastic instabilities at small grain sizes. 相似文献

In this study, nanoindentation tests with continuous stiffness measurement technique were measured to investigate the deformation behavior of a high-entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi under different indentation strain rates at room temperature. Results suggest that the creep behavior exhibits remarkable strain rate dependence. In-situ scanning images showed a conspicuous pileup around the indents, indicating that an extremely localized plastic deformation occurred during the nanoindentation. Under different strain rates, elastic modulus basically remains unchanged, while the hardness decreases with increasing indentation depth due to the indentation size effect. Furthermore, the modulus and hardness of AlCoCrFeNi HEAs are greater than that of the Al x CoCrFeNi (x = 0.3,0.5) at the strain rate of 0.2 s?1 due to its higher negative enthalpy of mixing related to the atomic binding force, and the solid solution strengthening induced by the lattice distortion, respectively. 相似文献

The effect of strain amplitude and strain rate on the microstructure and the properties that change during hard cyclic visco-plastic deformation of bulk niobium of high purity at room temperature are systematically measured. These changes in the refractory metal niobium were studied at different tension-compression strain amplitudes (up to Ɛ = ±2%) and strain rates (up to έ (t) = 0.4 s−1) during hard cyclic visco-plastic deformation in dependence on von Mises strain (up to ƐvM = 13.8) during the equal channel angular pressing, respectively. The pure Nb was specified with respect to microstructure, micromechanical properties, density, gas content, tensile strength, Young's modulus, viability and fracture mechanics at fatigue failure for use in industry. The micro hardness and the indentation modulus of the nanostructured shear bands were significantly higher, but the plasticity was lower than that of the body metal between the shear bands. The decreasing Young's modulus (when increasing the strain rate) is related to the fatigue failure of the niobium during the tension-compression cycling and shows nucleation and thickening of the shear bands, as well as the changes in grain boundaries in the pre-fracture state. 相似文献

The rate dependence of serrated flow in amorphous Al86.8Ni3.7Y9.5 has been investigated by nanoindentation. Three samples, containing different initial amounts and distributions of free volume, were used: as quenched, cold rolled and annealed below the crystallization temperature. When the cold-rolled sample is indented at low rates, no new shear bands form, and stable, time-dependent, flow takes place at pre-existing shear bands, well below the glass transition temperature. Aside from instrumental resolution, factors that likely affect serrated flow include the magnitude of the yield drop and the shear-band propagation velocity. The trends we observe are compared with calculations based on the free-volume theory. 相似文献

The plastic deformation behavior and serrated flow in seven bulk metallic glass (BMG) systems were investigated through instrumented indentation. These materials include Ce65Al10Ni10Cu10Nb5, Mg65Cu25Gd10, Pd43Ni10Cu27P20, Cu60Zr20Hf10Ti10, Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5, Ni60Nb37Sn3 and Fe43Cr16Mo16C15B10 BMGs, which show a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from 360 to 908 K at a heating rate of 0.33 K/s. Remarkable difference in deformation behavior was found among these BMGs in the load–depth curves during nanoindentation. Prominent serrations are observed in Mg-, Pt- and Pd-based BMGs with medium Tg during the loading process, whereas no distinct serrated flow was found in Ce-, Ni- and Fe-based BMGs with quite low or high Tg. The subsurface plastic deformation regions after indentation were investigated using depth-sensing microindentation to characterize the shear band feature developed in various BMG systems. The size of the shear band upset is found to be larger in the alloys with lower Tg. The effect of Tg on the operation of shear bands and the serrated flow behavior in various BMG systems were discussed. 相似文献

通过控制应变水平,采用热模拟准静态压缩和霍普金森压杆高应变速率压缩相结合的技术,实现了锆合金不同应变速率条件下的塑性变形。结果表明:锆合金准静态压缩和高应变速率压缩的主要区别在于变形后期。准静态压缩时,位错在晶粒内部塞积成为锆合金塑性变形的主要方式,导致基体晶粒内部累积取向差逐渐增加;而高应变速率压缩时,剪切带成为锆合金塑性变形的主要方式。剪切带塑性变形方式的出现,部分协调了锆合金的塑性变形,导致基体晶粒内部累积取向差较低。 相似文献
