We report measurements of the elastic properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses, Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5, Zr50Cu30Ni10Al10, and Zr50Cu40Al10 between 5 K and 300 K. Both the shear and longitudinal modulus have been measured as a function of temperature, allowing accurate determination of the Poisson’s ratio and the related ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus, K/G. These data make it possible to assess the influence of the alloy’s composition on the mechanical properties and enable an evaluation of the correlation between the elastic moduli and the ductility of the alloys.

We discuss the suitability of laser-based resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) for the characterization of soft shearing modes in single crystals of shape memory alloys that are close to the transition temperatures. We show, using a numerical simulation, that the RUS method enables the accurate determination of the c′ shear elastic coefficient, even for very strong anisotropy, and without being sensitive to misorientations of the used single crystal. Subsequently, we apply the RUS method to single crystals of three typical examples of shape memory alloys (Cu-Al-Ni, Ni-Mn-Ga, and NiTi), and discuss the advantages of using the laser-based contactless RUS arrangement for temperature-resolved measurements of elastic constants.

Iron-gallium alloys (known as Galfenol) are one of only a few metal alloys known to exhibit large auxetic or negative Poisson’s ratio behavior. The mechanical properties of Galfenol, including the auxeticity, are strongly dependent on the composition of the alloy. This research seeks to measure the elastic properties of Galfenol through a range of practical compositions in order to create a database as well as present trends in the elastic properties. This is achieved through tensile testing of single-crystal Galfenol dog-bone-shaped specimens and through Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) of small parallelepiped samples. The effects of heat treatment were also studied. This project will enable future researchers to refer to the elastic properties of the alloy measured using two different techniques, as well as enable them to select the alloy with optimum elastic properties for their applications.

The effect of uniaxial compression on the ultrasound velocities in bulk glassy Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 and Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 has been studied and the third-order elastic moduli of these glasses have been determined.
