Abstract
The microstructure of Zr50.5Ti4.8Cu19.0Ni11.4Al14.3 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy. The microstructure of the BMG is of homogeneous composition and short-range ordered microstructure. Using an ultrasonic technique with the pulse echo overlap method, the pressure-dependent acoustic velocities of the BMG have been measured up to 0.5 GPa. The elastic constants and their pressure dependence have been obtained. The isothermal equation of state (EOS) of the BMG is determined in terms of the Murnaghan form. With the results of the elastic constants and the EOS for those of its metallic components, the atomic configuration of the BMG is discussed.
