Abstract

Microindentation tests were undertaken to study the nature of the indentation deformation of a Zr₅₇Ti₅Cu₂₀Ni ₈Al₁₀ bulk metallic glasses (BMG). The tests focused on demonstrating the variation of the indentation behavior over the cross-section of the Zr-based BMG associated with the flow defects concentration from the solidification process. Microindentation tests were performed on a Micro-Combi Tester using a Vickers indenter on the circles of different radii with the same center as the specimen. It was found that the indentation hardness increases with the increase in the distance to the specimen center. The plastic energy dissipated in the indentation decreased with the increase in the distance to the center due to lower flow defect concentration. The results show the potential to evaluate the inhomogeneity in BMG using the indentation technique.
