Abstract

Effect of tensile loading on crystallisation behaviour of as-cast and laser thermal treated Fe–Si–B metallic glass foils was investigated. Tensile loading lacked any marked influence on the crystallisation behaviour of as-cast and structurally relaxed laser-treated metallic glass foils. Furthermore, the average crystallite/grain size in partially crystallised laser-treated metallic glass foil was nearly equal to the average crystallite/grain size in the region away from the fracture of the same partially crystallised laser-treated metallic glass foil after tensile loading. However, a significant crystallite/grain growth/coarsening of the order of two and half times was observed in the fractured region compared to the region around it for the laser-treated partially crystallised metallic glass foils. The simultaneous effects of stress generation and temperature rise during tensile loading were considered to play a key role in crystallite/grain growth/coarsening.
