Sumario:In this work, the mechanical relaxation dynamics of Fe55Cr10Mo14C15B6 metallic glass is explored by mechanical spectroscopy. The temperature-dependent loss modulus E″(T) shows the features of β relaxation well below glass transition temperature Tg. This β relaxation can be well described in the framework of anelastic theory by a thermal activated process with activation energy of 165 kJ mol−1. Structural relaxation, also known as physical aging, has a large effect on the glass properties. The activation energy spectrum of structural relaxation is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry measuring the heat flow difference between as-quenched and relaxed states. The obtained energy spectrum is well described by a lognormal distribution with maximum probability activation energy of 176 kJ mol−1. The obtained activation energy of structural relaxation is similar to that of β relaxation observed from mechanical spectroscopy. Both values are also close to the Johari–Goldstein β relaxation estimated by the empirical rule Eβ = 26RTg.
