Journal Article
Extra plasticity governed by shear band deflection in gradient metallic glasses
2022
Overview
Inspired by gradient materials in nature, advanced engineering components with controlled structural gradients have attracted substantial research interests due to their exceptional combinations of properties. However, it remains challenging to generate structural gradients that penetrate through bulk materials, which is essential for achieving enhanced mechanical properties in metallic materials. Here, we report practical strategies to design controllable structural gradients in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). By adjusting processing conditions, including holding time and/or controlling temperatures, of cryogenic thermal cycling and fast cooling, two different types of gradient metallic glasses (GMGs) with spatially gradient-distributed free volume contents can be synthesized. Both mechanical testing and atomistic simulations demonstrate that the spatial gradient can endow GMGs with extra plasticity. Such an enhanced mechanical property is governed by the gradient-induced deflection of shear deformation that fundamentally suppresses the unlimited shear localization on a straight plane that would be expected in BMGs without such a gradient.
Materials with controlled structural gradient have gained attention due to their unique combinations of properties. Here the authors report strategies to design controllable gradients in bulk metallic glasses, demonstrating extra plasticity and suppression of shear localization.
