Bulk metallic glass composites containing B2 phase

The brittleness and work-softening of Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs) prevent their wide applications as structural engineering materials. In order to settle this problem, the BMG composites containing B2 phase with lower shear modulus and body-centred cubic structure (BCC) via in-situ or ex-situ modes were developed. Although a lot of attempts have been proposed to enhance the plastic deformation, the work-softening remained unsettled before the...
