Tuning energy state of metastable bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is well known significant for
understanding their glass nature and controlling their performances. Using a newly …

The rejuvenation of Zr52. 5Cu17. 9Ni14. 6Al10Ti5 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) by
ultrasonic vibration-assisted elastic deformation (UVEF) was studied herein. The UVEF …

Metallic glasses (MGs) possess exceptional properties, but their properties consistently
deteriorate over time, thereby resulting in increased complexity in processing. It thus poses a …

The relaxation of amorphous materials, ie, aging, would largely endanger their
performances in service. Here we report a mechanical relaxation-to-rejuvenation transition …

A novel thermal rejuvenation treatment facility for Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) was
developed, consisting of a rapid heating and indirect liquid nitrogen quenching process. The …

Unusual plasticization for structural relaxed CuZr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) has been
found. Even though thermal-annealing usually leads to unfavorable relaxation-induced …

Elastostatic compression (ESC) has received considerable research attention as a tool to
study rejuvenation and relaxation processes for bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). However, little …

The current work focuses on effect of the thermomechanical protocol which can lead either
to aging or rejuvenation of glass through decoupling of the thermal and mechanical …

The mechanical properties of amorphous materials are closely related to their energy states
(enthalpy). Usually, a higher energy state corresponds to larger plasticity and lower …

The effect of uniaxial elastostatic compression on the deformation behavior of the Zr41.
2Ti13. 8Cu12. 5Ni10Be22. 5 (Vit1) bulk metallic glass (BMG) was reported. The as-cast alloy …
