The high-strain-rate mechanical properties, deformation mechanisms, and fracture characteristics of a bulk metallic glass (BMG)-matrix composite, consisting of an amorphous Zr57Nb5Cu15.4Ni12.6Al10 (LM106) matrix with crystalline tungsten reinforcement particles, were investigated using gas gun anvil-on-rod impact experiments instrumented with velocity interferometry (VISAR) and high-speed digital photography. The time-resolved elastic-plastic wave propagation response obtained through VISAR and the transient deformation states captured with the camera provided information about dynamic strength and deformation modes of the composite. Comparison of experimental measurements with AUTODYN-simulated transient deformation profiles and free surface velocity traces allowed for validation of the pressure-hardening Drucker–Prager model, which was used to describe the deformation response of the composite. The impacted specimens recovered for post-impact microstructural analysis provided further information about the mechanisms of dynamic deformation and fracture characteristics. The overall results from experiments and modeling revealed a strain to failure of ∼45% along the length and ∼7% in area, and the fracture initiation stress was found to decrease with increasing impact velocity because of the negative strain-rate sensitivity of the BMG.

Liquidmetal-1 (LM-1, Zr41.25Ti13.75Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5) is a bulk metallic glass that can be processed in large thicknesses (e.g. 10 mm) because of its low critical cooling rate (e.g. 1 K/s). Like other bulk metallic glasses, this material exhibits near theoretical strength and large elastic strains (~2%) under quasi-static loading conditions. In this work, the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) was employed to perform high strain-rate compression tests on annealed LM-1. An ultrahigh-speed camera was also employed to perform in-situ video of the deformation process of the experiments, and the macroscopic fracture behavior was examined after testing. In addition, a new insert design was developed to reduce the effects of stress concentrations on the specimen. SHPB testing, combined with in-situ video, was performed on as-cast LM-1 using this new experimental configuration to determine the failure modes. The results of these experiments are compared to previous results to understand better the effects of stress concentration on high strain-rate behavior of bulk metallic glass.

Abstract High strain rate micromechanical testing can assist researchers in elucidating complex deformation mechanisms in advanced material systems. In this work, the interactions of atomic-scale chemistry and strain rate in affecting the deformation response of a Zr-based metallic glass was studied by varying the concentration of oxygen dissolved into the local structure. Compression of micropillars over six decades of strain rate uncovered a remarkable reversal of the strain rate sensitivity from negative to positive above ~ 5 s−1 due to a delocalisation of shear transformation events within the pre-yield linear regime for both samples, while a higher oxygen content was found to generally decrease the strain rate sensitivity effect. It was also identified that the shear band propagation speed increases with the actuation speed, leading to a transition in the deformation behaviour from serrated to apparent non-serrated plastic flow at ~ 5 s−1.

NiTiZrSiSn bulk metallic glass powder was produced using inert gas atomization and then was sprayed onto a SS 41 mild steel substrate using the kinetic spraying process. Considering the principle of kinetic spraying and the temperature dependent deformation behavior of the bulk metallic glass, an attempt to change the in-flight particle temperature was tried by modifying the kinetic spraying apparatus. Through this study, the effects of thermal energy of in-flight particle and crystallization degree by powder preheating temperature were evaluated. The deformation behavior of bulk metallic glass is very interesting and it is largely dependent on the temperature and the strain rate. The crystalline phase formation at impact interface was dependent on the in-flight particle temperature. In addition, variations in the impact behavior need to be considered at high strain rate and in-flight particle temperature.
