锆基非晶合金的动态弛豫机制和高温流变行为

DYNAMIC RELAXATION CHARACTERISTICS AND HIGH TEMPERATURE FLOW BEHAVIOR OF ZR-BASED BULK METALLIC GLASS

  • 摘要: 非晶合金的动态弛豫机制对于理解其塑性变形, 玻璃转变行为, 扩散机制以及晶化行为都至关重要. 非晶合金的力学性能与动态弛豫机制的本征关联是该领域当前重要科学问题之一. 本文借助于动态力学分析(DMA), 探索了Zr_50Cu_40Al_10块体非晶合金从室温到过冷液相区宽温度范围内的动态力学行为. 通过单轴拉伸实验, 研究了玻璃转变温度附近的高温流变行为. 基于准点缺陷理论(quasi-point defects theory), 对两种力学行为的适用性以及宏观力学行为变化过程中微观结构的演化规律进行描述. 研究结果表明, 准点缺陷理论可以很好地描述非晶合金损耗模量\alpha弛豫的主曲线. 基于非晶合金的内耗行为, 玻璃转变温度以下原子运动的激活能U_\beta为0.63 eV. 与准点缺陷浓度对应的关联因子\chi 在玻璃转变温度以下约为0.38,而在玻璃转变温度以上则线性增大. Zr_50Cu_40Al_10块体非晶合金在玻璃转变温度附近, 随温度和应变速率的不同而在拉伸实验中显示出均匀的或不均匀的流变行为. 非晶合金的高温流变行为不仅可以通过扩展指数函数和自由体积理论来描述, 还可以通过基于微剪切畴(shear micro-domains, SMDs)的准点缺陷理论来描述.

     

    Abstract: Dynamic mechanical relaxation processes of amorphous alloys are very important to understand plastic deformation, glass transition phenomenon, diffusion behavior and crystallization. How to establish the correlation between mechanical properties and mechanical relaxation modes is one of key issues. In the current research, with the help of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), dynamic mechanical behavior of Zr_50Cu_40Al_10 bulk metallic glass from room temperature to supercooled liquid region was probed. In parallel, based on the uniaxial tensile tests, high-temperature flow behavior of Zr_50Cu_40Al_10 metallic glass around glass transition temperature were investigated. Dynamic mechanical behavior and high temperature deformation behavior were discussed in the framework of quasi-point defects theory. The results demonstrated that main \alpha relaxation process of metallic glass can be well described by the quasi-point defects theory. Based on internal friction of Zr_50Cu_40Al_10 metallic glass, activation energy of elementary movement of atoms U_\beta is 0.63 eV. In addition, correlation factor \chi corresponding to concentration of the quasi-point defects in solid glass remains almost constant below the glass transition temperature. When the temperature above the glass transition temperature, the correlation factor \chi increases by increasing the temperature (below the crystallization temperature). Finally, high temperature flow behavior in tensile mode near the glass transition temperature of Zr_50Cu_40Al_10 metallic glass was studied. The normalized viscosity decreases with increasing strain rate at low temperatures or high strain rates, indicating a non-Newtonian flow behavior. Whereas Newtonian flow behavior is observed at higher temperatures and lower strain rates. The apparent viscosity is affected by temperature and strain rate. High-temperature flow behavior of Zr_50Cu_40Al_10 metallic glass was described by stretched exponential function and free volume theory. Specifically, experimental master curve of the high temperature flow behavior of metallic glass is in good agreement with the prediction of the quasi-point defects theory, which provides a new insight on understanding of viscous effects during high temperature deformation of solid glasses.
