Strain Relaxation and Internal Friction in the Range of the Glass Transition

Michael Ege
Abstract
For the investigation of structural relaxation near the glass transition quasistatic creep after-effect measurements have been performed on the alloy Zr65Cu17:5Ni10Al7:5 which shows a large stability above the glass temperature Tg. By a separation of anelastic local atomic rearrangements and viscous long-range diffusion processes the thermal activation parameters of both processes could be determined from Arrhenius diagrams. Below Tg = 606 K an activation enthalpy of 2.1 eV and above Tg an activation enthalpy of 5.6 eV has been determined. For a quantitative description of these relaxation phenomena a new dynamic model is developed which takes into account the continuous formation and annihilation of relaxation centers near Tg. From measurements of the internal friction after rapid temperature changes it could be shown that extended relaxation centers present above Tg become instable below Tg and are split up by diffusion processes above 585 K, however, disappear spontaneously below 580 K.
