Tensile Creep Characterization and Prediction of Zr-Based Metallic Glass at High Temperatures

The high temperature creep behaviors of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) are studied by uniaxial tensile creep experiments under applied stresses of 50–180 MPa at temperatures of 660–700 K. The microstructural observations of the BMG samples after creep tests show that crysta...
