THE STRUCTURE RELAXATION SPECTRUM OF METALLIC GLASS

A proposed method for determining the structure relaxation spectra of five metallic glasses of Cu-Zr system has been carried out by measuring the electric resistance at constant heating rate. Three separate peaks of the activation energy with varied frequency factors were shown on the spectrum obtained, The frequency factor influences the shape, range, location and continuity of the peak. The Zr content in the Cu-Zr metallic glasses may affect considerably each own structure relaxation spectrum. Their variaty behaviour has also been discussed.
