Abstract

In-situ electron microscopy mechanical testing is a promising deformation observation technology that has been extensively applied to explore the deformation and fracture behaviour of MGs. In this paper, we adopt it in conjunction with digital image correlation technique to investigate the impact of free volume on shear band multiplication and bending plasticity in MGs. The strain evolutions of the notched Zr-, Ce- and Mg-based MGs are studied respectively. The results indicate that the strain-concentration striations before yielding contain amounts of free volume can improve the shear band multiplication, and are beneficial to the subsequent bending plasticity. Such conclusions successively verify a novel integrated method to explore the in-situ strain field evolution process near the notch of MGs, which is advantage for understanding the deformation and fracture behaviour of MGs in a complex stress state.
