Abstract
The thermal stability and the dynamic mechanical relaxation behavior of (Zr50Cu40Al10)100-xDyx (at.%) (x = 0 or 2) metallic glasses were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In the case of the (Zr50Cu40Al10)100-xDyx (x = 0 or 2) metallic glasses, atomic mobility increases by introduction of the Dy element. The activation energy of the the main a relaxation process and fragility index were discussed according to the DMA measurements. With the help of the time-temperature superposition (TTS) principle, the master curves of the model alloys were established, the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) function and quasi-point defects (QPD) theory were used to descirbe the master curves of the metallic glasses. The characteristic parameters related to microstructural heterogeneity in the KWW equation and the QPD model, Kohlrausch exponent βKWW and the correlation factor χ were evaluated. In parallel, the elastic, viscoelastic and viscoplastic responses of the model alloys have been analyzed based on the DMA results. Our investigations demonstrated that introduction of the Dy increases the structure heterogeneity of the (Zr50Cu40Al10)100-xDyx (x = 0 or 2) glassy system, which plays an important role in tailoring the dynamic relaxation behavior and mechanical properties of the metallic glasses.
