Method for healing metallic glass and metallic glass healable thereby

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for healing a metallic glass and a metallic glass healable thereby, and more specifically, to a healing method which, based on a time-temperature transformation curve showing the structural relaxation and crystallization onset of a metallic glass, may standardize the structural changes resulting from process variables of the metallic glass through heat treatment for structural relaxation at a specific healing temperature, followed by quenching, and heal structural damage caused by elastic and plastic deformation of the metallic glass, thereby enabling restoration of strength as well as repeated restoration of deformation stability properties such as ductility and toughness, and a metallic glass healable by the method.
