Effects of Hydrogen on the Internal Time Scales in Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu-Be Bulk Metallic Glasses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
The effects of pre-charged hydrogen on various kinetic processes in a Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu-Be bulk metallic glass alloy were investigated. Hydrogen charging induced longer internal time scales for structural relaxation and viscous flow. Crystallization was retarded by hydrogen charging leading to enhanced glass stability. Positron annihilation spectroscopy indicated reduced average free volume size after hydrogen charging. The reduced free volume and higher viscosity caused by hydrogen retard the plastic deformation and are believed to be responsible for hydrogen embrittlement.
