Abstract

International audienceInelastic deformation induced by cyclic nanoindentation in Zr-basedbulk metallic glasses. Monotonic and cyclic nanoindentation tests were carried out onZr50Cu40Al10 bulk metallic glass (BMG) at loading rates ranging from 250 to 2500 μN/s andat ambient temperature. We found that cyclic loadings induced a mechanical softeningwhich appears to be dependent on the number of cycles and the loading rates. The effectof loading rates was compared with the same nanoindentation tests on specimens of Zrbasedmetallic glass coated with CrN and TiN films. The inelastic deformation on Zr-basedmetallic glass was studied by analysing the remnant indent morphology using atomic forcemicroscopy. A free-volume mechanism was proposed for int...
