Creep in amorphous metals

Abstract

This paper reviews the work on creep behavior of amorphous metals. There have been, over the past several years, a few reviews of the mechanical behavior of amorphous metals. Of these, the review of the creep properties of amorphous metals by Schuh et al. though oldest of the three, is particularly noteworthy and the reader is referred to this article published in 2007. The current review of creep of amorphous metals particularly focuses on those works since that review and places the work prior to 2007 in a different context where new developments warrant.
