Extensive strain hardening in a transformation-induced plasticity-reinforced metallic glass matrix composite upon dynamic compression

• Dynamic compression tests on Ti 40 Ni 38 Ce 2 Cu 20 metallic glass matrix composite. • Decreased plasticity due to similar toughness between crystalline and glass phases. • Extensive strain hardening mediated by transformation-induced plasticity. A novel transformation-induced plasticity-reinforced metallic glass matrix composite, Ti 40 Ni 38 Ce 2 Cu 20 , with face-centered cubic B2 phase and monoclinic B19′ phase as well as amorphous phase,...
