Abstract

Vitreous alloys exhibit changes in the specific heat capacity (Δcp) as well as configuration at the characteristic
glass transition temperature (Tg). A wide variety of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) such as, Zr47.5Cu47.5Al5,
Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10, Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 and Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 were rolled at room temperature, and
the variation of Tg, Δcp at Tg, configurational entropy (ΔSconf.), pressure coefficient of Tg (dTg/dP) and bending
strength were measured to understand the configurational change in BMGs upon cold rolling. The normalized
bending moment during yielding of a cold rolled Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 has increased by 43.4% than the as-cast
specimen. The ΔSconf. of the Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 plate increased upon rolling from 0.537±0.041 J/mol∙K for as-
cast to 0.654±0.032 J/mol∙K for 70% cold rolled sample. A relaxed glassy state with low Tg exhibits high
dTg/dP value and vice versa.
