Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were cast from the melt temperature 1143 to 1373 K. The structure, thermal and mechanical properties of the BMGs were investigated by XRD, DSC, HRTEM, dilatometric measurements, micro-hardness tests and uniaxial compression. The results indicate that the microstructure and mechanical performance of BMGs are closely affected by the casting temperature. Proper casting temperature ensures the BMGs with large relaxed excess free volume (REFV) and nano-crystallites, which favor the plastic deformation in Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 BMGs. Regulating the preparing parameters is an important solution to good plasticity in BMGs.

AbstractThis paper summarises our recent cyclic nanoindentation experiment studies on a range of materials including single crystal and nanocrystalline copper, single crystal aluminium and bulk metallic glasses with different glass transition temperatures. The unloading and reloading processes of the nanoindentation curves have been analysed. The reverse plasticity will be discussed in the context of plastic deformation mechanisms involved. The effect of loading rates on the mechanical properties of materials upon cyclic loading will also be discussed.

The effect of reactive (polyethylene glycol) and non-reactive (toluene) diluents on thermal and mechanical properties (tensile strength, hardness and fracture toughness) of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy resin (cured by triethylenetetramine) was investigated. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin modified with reactive and non-reactive diluents at different wt% were investigated using thermo-gravimetric analyser, tensile test, hardness test and single-edge-notched bend test. A minor variation in thermal stability was observed for epoxy resin after addition of polyethylene glycol and toluene at 0.5 wt%; however, further addition of reactive and non-reactive diluents diminished the thermal stability. The addition of 10 wt% of polyethylene glycol in epoxy resin significantly enhances the tensile strength (∼12%), hardness (∼14%) and fracture toughness (∼24%) when compared to that of neat epoxy resin. In contrast, major drop in mechanical performance was observed after addition of toluene in epoxy. Furthermore, fracture surfaces were investigated under field emission scanning electron microscope to elucidate the failure mechanism.

Electrical conductivity, tensile strength and micro-hardness of Cu-3.5wt.%Ti-0.1wt.%Zr-RE alloy were investigated after optimizing technics of plastic deformation and the heat treatment. The results show that good combination of the physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength 1160 MPa, micro-hardness 335 Hv and electrical conductivity 15 IACS% can be obtained on peak aging at 420°C for 7 h. Maximum strength was associated with the precipitation of metastable, ordered and coherent β/ (Cu4Ti) phase on peak aging. Then the strength decreased due to the precipitation of β (Cu3Ti) phase in alloys overaged.

The deformation and mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under a nanoindenter and the effect of cooling rate, the effect of cooling rate, tungsten fiber addition and annealing on them have been studied by means of a nanoindentation instrument and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the deformation of Zr-based BMGs under a nanoindenter is characterized by multiple shear bands and viscous flow which confirms the existence of a amount of plastic deformation. For pure quenched Zr-based BMGs, the larger the size of samples or the nearer the location away from the surface of a same sample, the smaller the values of microhardness (Hv) and elastic modulus (E); Annealing and tungsten fiber addition enhance the values of Hv and E; meanwhile, they also significantly change morphology around a nanoindenter and the amount of plastic deformation. The mechanism of plastic deformation is preliminarily analyzed.

Due to its negligible solubility, it is difficult to obtain a W-30Cu composite with a homogenous microstructure. However, with a selected W skeleton, a homogeneous phase distribution was achieved for a W-30Cu composite in the present study. By detailed characterization of the mechanical performance and microstructure of the W-30Cu composite, as well as the stress distribution state under a loading condition, the effects of microstructure homogeneity on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms are identified. The mechanisms by which the ductility and strength depend on microstructure homogeneity contain the effects on plastic deformation and stress coordination of the Cu phase network. The dominant factors for the high ductility and strength of W-30Cu composites are proposed.
