The Use of Young's Modulus to Monitor Relaxation in Metallic Glasses.

Abstract

The kinetics of change of Young's modulus (E) during isothermal relaxation and crystallization of an all-metal glass, CU60Zr40 have been measured by a pulse-echo technique. E increases by about 10% between the as-quenched and fully relaxed states. Crystallization of the glass produces a further 15% increase in E. The kinetics of the relaxation process can be fitted to an expression of the form delta E = a lnt + b. (Author)
