摘要

Intermittent serrated flows of a novel ductile Fe-60 Ni-20 P-13 C-7 hulk metallic glass (BMG) at variant strain rates were investigated by statistics analysis. Peak and clutter distribution of slip-avalanche magnitudes are displayed during stable plastic flows at strain rates of 2 X 10(-4) s(-1) and 5 X 10(-3) s(-1), respectively, which means that serration behavior depends on the strain rate. However, the remarkable agreement between measured slip avalanche magnitudes and the scaling behavior, i.e. a universal complementary cumulative distribution CCDF) predicted by mean-field theory (MFT) model, indicates that the plasticity of the present Fe-based BMGs can he tuned by imposed strain rates: S-max similar to epsilon(-lambda). This tuned plasticity is elucidated with expended free-volume model. Moreover, the scaling behavior of serrated flows for other strain rates can he predicted as well.
