An extremely promising microscale processing method for bulk metallic glasses called thermoplastic forming has emerged in recent years. However, most of the recent experimental thermoplastic forming studies have been conducted by trial-and-error. In this paper, the large-deformation constitutive theory of Henann and Anand [1] is used as a numerical simulation tool for the design of micro-hot-embossing processes. This numerical simulation capability is used to determine appropriate processing parameters in order to carry out several successful micron-scale hot-embossing operation on the metallic glass Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 (Vitreloy-1). By carrying out the corresponding physical experiments, it is demonstrated that microscale features in Vitreloy-1 may be accurately replicated under the processing conditions determined by use of the numerical simulation capability.

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.
