几种大块非晶合金宏微观变形行为的分析-analysis of macro-micro deformation behavior of several bulk amorphous alloys.docx

AbstractBulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have attracted a great attention on fundamental science and practical applications due to their promising physical, chemical and mechanical properties. However, the lack of any significant plastic deformation at room temperature of BMGs is one of the main obstacles to their application in practice. Thus, deeply understanding the macro- and micro- plastic deformation mechanisms of BMGs is always important to the improvement of the ductility of BMGs. In this thesis, by using micro- and nano- indentation methods and uniaxial compression test, the plastic deformation behavior of several BMG systems was investigated, focusing on the physical nature of the pressure sensitivity index and the strain hardening index of the BMGs. The morphology and evolution of the shear bands around the indentation obtained by the different indentation tests conditions were observed in the BMGs with the different pressure and the relationship between the pressure sensitivity index and the shear band patterns of the BMGs was set up. Moreover, the serrated flow feature at different loading conditions in several BMG systems was characterized by nanoindentation measurements, and the effect of structural relaxation on the plastic deformation behavior was investigated. Finally, the extrusion behavior of a Zr-based BMG was investigated. The primary conclusions are summarized as follows:The deformation of BMGs exhibits the pressure sensitivity which is reflected by the pressure sensitivity index. The pressure sensitivity index is strongly dependent on the structure of BMGs. With the increase of the degree of the structural relaxation, the pressure sensitivity index increased. Physically, the pressure sensitivity index reflects the atom friction.The morphology and evolution of the shear bands around the indentation correlate to the pressure sensitivity index: Under the Vickers and Rockwell indentation conditions, the include angle between two family shear bands de
