Abstract

Low temperature β internal friction peak evolution upon thermal cycles shows two peculiar peaks similar to high temperature internal friction peak. The modulus softening associated to these peaks suggest a phase transformation phenomenon and the relaxation time τo in order of 10 -23 -10 -35 s, close to that observed in grains boundary sliding are due to interface motions in the amorphous structure under combined thermal and mechanical energies.

Highlights

  • Metallic glassy materials undergo anelastic relaxation phenomena as polymer with a low temperature internal friction (IF) β peak and high temperature internal friction α peak [1]

  • The purpose of this paper is to describe the complex relaxation in metallic glasses using the peculiar anelastic phenomena in Zr57Cu20Al10Ni8Ti5 BMG

  • The complex relaxation is likely a composition of single atomic diffusion and interface motions similar to grain boundary sliding that is consistent with the high-activation energies and the low-relaxation times

Summary

Introduction

Metallic glassy materials undergo anelastic relaxation phenomena as polymer with a low temperature internal friction (IF) β peak and high temperature internal friction α peak [1]. The latter occurs in the temperature range of the glass transition and crystallization of the glassy structure and usually exhibit anomalous relaxation time about τo=10-23–10-35s [2]. ‘unreasonably’ low compared to that of the atomic diffusion relaxation time (10-13s) are usually observed in cold-worked crystalline alloys and are characteristic of complex relaxation phenomena [3].
