Interface controlled plasticity in metallic crystal-glass composites — Constanze Kalcher, Tobias Brink, Omar Adjaoud, and •Karsten Albe — Technische Universität Darmstadt, FB 11, FG Materialmodellierung, Jovanka-Bontschits-Str. 2, 64287 Darmstadt

The mechanical properties of metallic glasses can be modified by secondary phases. In the current contribution we study how the creep and deformation behavior of a metallic glass is altered by the presence of secondary crystalline and glassy phases. By means of molecular dynamics simulations, we show that not only the mechanical properties of the phase fractions but also interfaces affect the mechanical response of a Cu-Zr glass composite. We study various topologies and phase fractions and propose an explanation in terms of interface orientations and a resulting Schmid-like law. We finally show that it is possible to enhance the mechanical properties of nanoglasses by reinforcing their glassy interfaces.
