Mechanical Relaxation-to-Rejuvenation Transition in a Zr-based Bulk Metallic Glass

Abstract The relaxation of amorphous materials, i.e., aging, would largely endanger their performances in service. Here we report a mechanical relaxation-to-rejuvenation transition of a Zr35Ti30Be27.5Cu7.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) in elastostatic compression at ambient temperature, thus provide an...
