Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In this project, the deformation behaviour of Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 monolithic bulk metallic glass at different strain rates and at elevated temperatures was to be investigated in comparison with partially nanocrystallized specimens obtained by previous annealing. The comparison of the different types of samples aimed to allows for a better understanding of the effect of nanocrystallization on the high temperature deformation behaviour and the transition from inhomogeneous to homogeneous flow. In addition, it was of interest to optimize the casting conditions of the Zr66.4Nb6.4Cu10.5Ni8.7Al8 bulk metallic glass composite with ductile dendrites in order to control and establish a different length scale and volume fraction of dendrites, and hence to understand the effect of the dendrites on the viscous flow at various strain rates and at elevated temperatures. Following these lines, the deformation behaviour at elevated temperatures between monolithic bulk metallic glass, partially nanocrystallized bulk metallic glass and bulk metallic glass composite with ductile phase was systematically investigated and compared. The above described approach aimed to provide information concerning the deformation and flow behaviour of metallic glasses and composites with different length-scale second phases at elevated temperatures, and to obtain results that can be used to further optimize the processing conditions for shaping of such materials.
