Abstract

We have examined the mechanical behavior of Zr57Ti5Cu20Ni8Al10 bulk metallic glass under uniaxial compression at strain rates from 10−4to 3 × 103 s−1. The failure stress decreases with increasing strain rate, and shear-band formation remains the dominant deformation mechanism. A consideration of basic properties of adiabatic shear bands makes it appear unlikely that shear bands formed under quasi-static loading are adiabatic; in the dynamic case, the time scales of deformation and thermal conduction are similar, indicating that a more sophisticated calculation is required. In the dynamic tests, however, high-speed cinematography reveals evidence that the mechanism of failure involves an adiabatic component.
