High-pressure annealing driven nanocrystal formation in Zr50Cu40Al10 metallic glass and strength increase
The atomic structure of amorphous materials is sensitive to processing history. Here, the simultaneous application of temperature and pressure to a Zr50Cu40Al10 metallic glass causes nanocrystal formation and short- and medium-range ordering, and an increase in strength.
