Bulk metallic glasses have application potential in engineering structures due to their exceptional strength and fracture toughness. Their fatigue resistance is very important for the application as well. We report the tension-tension fatigue damage behavior of a Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 bulk metallic glass, which has the highest fracture toughness among BMGs. The Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 glass exhibits a tension-tension fatigue endurance limit of 195 MPa, which is higher than that of high-toughness steels. The fracture morphology of the specimens depends on the applied stress amplitude. We found flocks of shear bands, which were perpendicular to the loading direction, on the surface of the fatigue test specimens with stress amplitude higher than the fatigue limit of the glass. The fatigue cracking of the glass initiated from a shear band in a shear band flock. Our work demonstrated that the Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 glass is a competitive structural material and shed light on improving the fatigue resistance of bulk metallic glasses.

In this research, the effect of Ta addition on the formation, thermal stability and corrosion behavior of Ti-Zr-Cu-Pd bulk metallic glasses were investigated. The results revealed with minor addition of Ta, higher corrosion resistance and compressive strength as well as large plastic deformation were achieved. Minor addition Ta is effective for the formation of more protectively passive film during the process of anodic polarization. In addition, proper volume fraction nanoparticle with small size is responsible for the large plastic deformation of the as-cast Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with 1% Ta addition.

The deformation and mechanical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under a nanoindenter and the effect of cooling rate, the effect of cooling rate, tungsten fiber addition and annealing on them have been studied by means of a nanoindentation instrument and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the deformation of Zr-based BMGs under a nanoindenter is characterized by multiple shear bands and viscous flow which confirms the existence of a amount of plastic deformation. For pure quenched Zr-based BMGs, the larger the size of samples or the nearer the location away from the surface of a same sample, the smaller the values of microhardness (Hv) and elastic modulus (E); Annealing and tungsten fiber addition enhance the values of Hv and E; meanwhile, they also significantly change morphology around a nanoindenter and the amount of plastic deformation. The mechanism of plastic deformation is preliminarily analyzed.
