Description
Summary:Maxwell-Voigt model with two Kelvin units and one Maxwell unit was utilized to analyze the microalloying effect of Cu on the creep behavior of CoFe-based metallic glasses at different loading rates. The defect activation during creep deformation was detected by the relaxation time spectrum based on this model. The defect, with respect to a short relaxation time in relaxation spectra, intends to be activated at a quasi-static loading mode in the alloy with 0.5 at.% Cu addition. With further increasing loading rates, more defects with a large size were provoked activated at both hard and soft regions in the Cu-containing sample. A softening with the reduction of elastic modulus and hardness about 10 % and 15 %, respectively, was also observed in the Cu-doped sample. It is consistent with the pronounced viscoplastic deformation of this alloy along with the decrease of viscosity. Our work provides a microscopic insight into structural evolution during creep deformation in a Cu-doped metallic glass, which might help for understanding the plastic deformation of metallic glasses upon a minor addition.
