Non-uniform Structure and Properties of Ti-based Amorphous Alloy Controlled by Elastic Loading
Gradient structure was induced into the relaxed Ti32.85Zr30.21Cu9Ni5.28Be22.66 amorphous alloy through elastic loading treatment,and effects of gradient structure on mechanical properties of alloy were investigated.The results reveal that gradient structures can hinder the rapid expansion of shear bands and dissipate more energy,which delays fracture.The compressive plasticity of amorphous alloy is increased from 3.2%to 8.8%,indicating that the existence of gradient structures endows relaxed amorphous alloy with additional plasticity.
