Strength should be the most outstanding mechanical property for metallic glasses (MGs). Here we analyze the strengths of MGs with more than 300 compositions in ∼30 alloy systems covering nearly all strength levels, ranging from 0.3 GPa to 6 GPa. With these abundant experimental data available, we find that the yield strain is not always constant but depends on glass transition temperature,Tg, ranging from 1% to 2.5% for normal strain and from 1.2% to 3.4% for shear strain. This can be well explained by assuming an equivalent energy barrier for yielding and glass transition. Relations derived based on this assumption show that MGs with highTgmay yield with larger critical strain and higher strength, implying that high elasticity, high strength and high thermostability can be synchronously achieved for MGs.
