A correlation among fragility, elastic modulus and temperature rise in shear bands of metallic glasses
Source abstract
Abstract
Metallic glasses (MGs) exhibit superior engineering properties such as high strength and good corrosion resistance but often suffer from limited plasticity. The present study investigates the temperature rise within shear bands, as the primary deformation mechanism and its influence on plasticity. The shear bands are modelled as instantaneous planar heat sources, enabling the calculation of thermal profiles that show a peak temperature rise at the centre of shear bands. Correlation has been observed between such temperature rise and the liquid fragility index (m) (ranging from 16 to 200) and the fragility parameter (D*) (between 10 and 26). Furthermore, the bulk-to-shear modulus ratio (K/G) is examined in relation to the fragility index. These findings highlight the role of localised heating within shear bands and its dependence on the glass fragility, offering insights into enhancing plasticity in MGs.
