Abstract
The limited plasticity of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is commonly circumvented by introducing micrometer- or nanometer-sized heterogeneities (crystallites and/or phase separation) into the BMGs. In this work, we report the improvement of plasticity in a ternary monolithic BMG caused by a large amount of randomly distributed free volume induced during solidification using a high cooling rate. This indicates that introducing large amounts of free volume into BMGs might be another promising way of improving the plasticity of these materials. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
