Effects of cooling rates on the mechanical properties of a Ti-based bulk metallic glass

<p>Figure 4 (a) Schematic illustration of the volume or enthalpy of a liquid as a function of temperature at a constant pressure [16]. A higher cooling rate b leads to a higher glass transition temperature Tgb and a large frozen volume, (b) dependence of the yield strength and plasticity on structural relaxation enthalpy (i.e. free volume), and (c) comparison between the yielding strength experimentally determined and that predicted from Yang’s equation [17] with glass transition temperature.
