Abstract

Ti-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with large compressive plasticity were developed in the Ti-rich part of Vitreloy series BMGs (Ti65–x Zr x Cu9Ni8Be18 alloys with x = 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20). The current materials exhibit high fracture strength reaching ~2.3 GPa and plastic strains up to ~8.3 pct after partial substitution of Zr by Ti. The plasticity of the investigated alloys strongly depends on the Zr content, which affects the elastic constants, such as Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus. This, in turn, has an impact on the shear transformation zone (STZ) volume and, hence, on the shear banding of the glasses.
