Abstract
Microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu 46.5Zr 47.5Al 5Co 1 bulk metallic glass (BMG) irritated by laser surface treatment (LST) were investigated. A surface-multilayer glassy composite structure with micron- and nano-scale CuZr (B2) particles was synthesized. The forming mechanism of the unique structure was studied by analyzing the thermal behaviors of glassy matrix and simulating the LST process using finite volume method. Plasticity of the treated rods is enhanced about five times because of the induced multiplication of shear bands and martensitic transformation of B2 precipitates. The LST method is powerful for tailoring BMG composites with controllable position and morphology of second phase.
