The fracture surfaces of a metallic–glass (amorphous) ribbon reinforced glass–ceramic and metallic ribbon reinforced glass matrix composite were studied. The features observed in the fracture surface of the brittle matrix were interpreted in terms of fast and slow crack growth in these composites. The implications of the nature of this crack growth on the toughness of such composites was also investigated.

Previous works have shown that ceramic matrix composites are sensitive to delayed failure during fatigue in oxidizing environments. The phenomenon of slow crack growth has been deeply investigated on single fibers and multifilament tows in previous papers. The present paper proposes a multiscale model of failure driven by slow crack growth in fibers, for 2D woven composites under a constant load. The model is based on the delayed failure of longitudinal tows. Additional phenomena involved in the failure of tows have been identified using fractographic examination of 2D woven SiC/SiC composite testspecimens after fatigue tests at high temperatures. Stochastic features including random load sharing, fiber overloading, fiber characteristics and fiber arrangement within the tows have been introduced using appropriate density functions. Rupture time predictions are compared to experimental data.

A composite microstructure consisted of µm-scale Ta-rich solid solution particles distributed in the bulk metallic glass matrix was successfully obtained by injection casting of the (Cu60Zr30Ti10)95Ta5alloy into a copper mold. The (Cu60Zr30Ti10)95Ta5bulk metallic glass matrix composite shows compressive strength of 2320 MPa and, in particular, a significantly improved plastic strain to failure of about 14.5%. The remarkable ductility improvement in the (Cu60Zr30Ti10)95Ta5composite could be explained by the presence of the highly ductile Tarich particles.
