Abstract
To obtain a greater degree of a deep cryogenic cycle treatment (DCT)-induced rejuvenation, Zr-based bulk metallic glass samples were prepared under a mixed argon/hydrogen atmosphere prior to the deep cryogenic cycling treatment. The degree of rejuvenation is quantified by the increase of relaxation enthalpy ΔHrel measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The purpose of this pretreatment was to change the chemical heterogeneity through the in situ absorption of hydrogen during melting and solidification. It was found that the hydrogenated specimens were more sensitive to DCT and exceeded the rejuvenation upper limit of uncharged specimens. The results were compared with previous reports, which further highlighted the distinctive advantage of the H-charged specimens for DCT. Furthermore, the plasticity of the hydrogenated metallic glass was enhanced significantly after DCT, as supported by hardness, compression ductility, and nanoindentation creep data. It is crucial to understand that DCT-induced rejuvenation is related to the content of hydrogen and may provide a new avenue to improve the mechanical properties or functional characteristics of BMG.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
