Structural relaxation and nanomechanical behaviors of La65Al14Ni5Co5Cu9.2Ag1.8 bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a low glass transition temperature during annealing have been investigated by calorimetry and nanoindentation measurement. The enthalpy release of this metallic glass is deduced by annealing near glass transition. When annealed below glass transition temperature for 5 min, the recovered enthalpy increases with annealing temperature and reaches the maximum value at 403 K. After annealed in supercooled liquid region, the recovered enthalpy obviously decreases. For a given annealing at 393 K, the relaxation behaviors of La-based BMG can be well described by the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) function. The hardness, Young’s modulus, and serrated flow are sensitive to structural relaxation of this metallic glass, which can be well explained by the theory of solid-like region and liquid-like region. The decrease of ductility and the enhancement of homogeneity can be ascribed to the transformation from liquid-like region into solid-like region and the reduction of the shear transition zone (STZ).

The influence of annealing on the structural changes and the mechanical properties of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 (Vit-1) bulk metallic glass was systematically studied by varying the annealing times at 703 K. The evolution of the structural state at a relatively high temperature within the supercooled liquid region was studied by thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, extended x-ray absorption fine structure, and dilatometric measurements. The deformation behavior and the mechanical properties were also examined by carrying out hardness and compression tests for the specimens annealed for various times.

Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic behaviors of a Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30bulk metallic glass are investigated through experiments and described by the fictive stress model. Systematic deviations between the predicted stress-strain curves by fictive stress model and by the experimental results were found. In order to describe the flow stress curves of the Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30BMG at different temperatures and strain rates in the supercooled liquid region more precisely, the fictive stress model was modified. The parameters of the model were optimized by the genetic algorithm, and a time relaxation factor Z' was introduced. The comparisons of the predicted compressive stress-strain curves and extrusion load-punch stroke curve by the modified fictive stress model with the experimental data show good agreements.
