Abstract

By investigating the serrated flow of Zr41.2Ti13.8 Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5 bulk amorphous alloy under compression conditions, the temperatures of plastic deformation regions during formation of the shear bands are calculated by using strain energy theory and introducing the ratio of area (As/A) as parameters. With the increase of deformation, the strain energy increases and the temperatures in the regions of forming shear bands become higher correspondingly. The temperatures will get to or exceed glass transition temperature when the ratio of As/A is equal to or less than 1/4 and the viscosity of deformation region will be reduced greatly, consequently, the balanced strain energy will make the shear band spread, which induces the sample to fracture finally.
