Abstract

The elevated deformation behaviour of Zr-based metallic bulk metallic glasses is reviewed in a wide temperature and strain rate range within the supercooled liquid region. Newtonian viscous flow and homogeneous deformation at constant viscosity is observed. In accord with Spaepen's free volume theory it is experimentally verified that the extraordinarily high plastic deformability in BMGs is controlled by the competing effects of free volume generation and annihilation.
