Abstract
Amorphous alloys have garnered attention for the unique disordered structure, exceptional properties and promising application potential. The cooling rate during preparation is crucial for shaping their structure and properties. This study primarily investigates the effects of cooling rates on the structural and mechanical heterogeneity of amorphous alloys. The results show that increasing the cooling rate leads to a decrease in the strain required to form shear bands, and the germination regions of shear bands usually have low relative elastic modulus. Additionally, the Spearman coefficient indicates a strong positive correlation between the reduced elastic modulus and the icosahedral structure. Moreover, as cooling rates increase, the alloy exhibits a concomitant increase in both structural and mechanical heterogeneity.
