Abstract
Melts of (at. %) held under pressurized hydrogen are cast into bulk metallic glass (BMG) rods with fine ( diameter) pores uniformly dispersed. The low overall porosities lead to only small reductions in Young modulus and yield strength, but to dramatically enhanced plasticity in compression: Rupture energy as high as , compared to for the pore-free BMG. The pores force the proliferation of shear bands below the overall failure stress, a process of interest for toughening BMGs, materials for which shear localization in deformation restricts structural applications.
