Abstract

Using an infrared camera, the plastic deformation of a relaxed Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10.0Ti5.0 bulk-metallic glass in a moderately high strain rate compression was observed in situ. The specimen exhibits an inhomogeneous deformation, which is manifested by serrated plastic flow, shear banding, and obvious work softening. Shear-banding operations were observed throughout the plastic deformation. Shear-banding operations started before the nominal yielding; shear bands could not block each other, but their interaction seems to accelerate the plastic deformation. A significant increase in the specimen’s temperature was observed due to shear banding.
