The investigation on the deformation behavior in Zr50Cu44Al6 MG under compression. (a) The engineering (black) and true (blue) stress-strain curves and the inset magnifying the plastic regime. (b) The SEM image of the deformed sample in which the primary shear band is marked by the arrows. (c) A schematic illustration of the effective load-bearing area in the rod sample. (d) The real stress (red) calculated using the area A in Eq. (2) showing the hardenability in Zr50Cu44Al6 MG with a strain hardening coefficient n = 0.613. (e) The intrinsic shear strength calculated by Eq. (4) shows a hardening behavior also.
