Abstract

In the present work, Fe57Cr9Mo5B16P7C6 (at. %) in situ bulk metallic glass nanocomposites of varying crystal-linity, i.e. 0 to 80 vol. %, were synthesized by spark plasma sintering. Room temperature indentation creep behaviour of these composites was evaluated with nanoindentation technique. Effect of crystalline phase content on overall creep behaviour of the BMG composites was evaluated. Creep resistance of the BMG composites was improved with increase in the amount of crystalline phases up to 40 vol. %. Improved creep resistance is attributed to the presence of nanocrystalline phases in amorphous matrix and lower defect concentration in the BMG composite samples. However, excess crystallinity imparted brittleness and resulted in poor creep perfor-mance of the BMG composites. Derived stress exponent values are significantly lesser for the BMG composite sample in comparison to the amorphous compact indicating the transition in the mode of plastic deformation from inhomogeneous to nearly homogeneous. Loading rate has more pronounced influence on final creep displacement of fully amorphous sample in comparison to that of BMG composite.
