Compression stress induced flow temperature reduction in a bulk Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 metallic glass

Abstract For a bulk metallic glass Zr 41.2 Ti 13.8 Cu 12.5 Ni 10.0 Be 22.5 , flow behavior was investigated under uniaxial pressure up to 1.37 GPa upon continuous heating. Under compression stress, flow temperature is reduced by 45 K/1.37 GPa and the processible temperature range is expected to be possibly widened by about 70 K/l.37 GPa.
