Abstract-An empirical deformation map for metallic glasses is introduced and the two modes of
deformation, homogeneous and inhomogeneous Row are reviewed. The microscopic mechanism for
steady state inhomogeneous How is based on a dynamic equilibrium between stress-driven creation
and diffusional annihilation of structural disorder. The formalism is developed using the free volume
as the order parameter. The boundary line between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous flow regiotx
on the deformation map is calculated. The stress-strain relation in inhomogeneous flow approaches
ideally plastic behavior.
