How can I find material properties of metallic glasses?

Submitted by Yixiang Gan on

I am now going to model a sample with metallic glass (Cu-Zr-Ti) under stress and temperature loads. I wonder whether there is some existing database to find material properties, in particular, the creep properties with respect to temperature and stresses. Then I can use these data as input for a FE analysis.

Thank you very much!

Hey Gan,

I usually use http://www.matweb.com to get the material properties. I just gave a search for "metallic glass" (I know its very naive :-)), the folowing is what I got:

The properties are for Nickel/Iron/Silicon/Boron Alloy may not be useful to you and also it is basic information.
