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 work, the fatigue behavior of a low-cost Zr58Cu15.46Ni12.74Al10.34Nb2.76Y0.5 (at%) bulk metallic glass (BMG) fabricated by industrial-grade Zirconium raw material was investigated under three-point bending loading mode. X-ray, fatigue tests under different stress amplitude and fatigue fractography were conducted in order to characterize the amorphous structure, fatigue stress-life (S-N) curve and fracture mechanism, respectively. It is found that the X-ray diffraction (XRD) result showed a fully amorphous structure due to high glass-forming ability, cracks initiated from inclusions near the rectangular corners at tensile surfaces and the fatigue endurance limit (~168 MPa) and fatigue ratio (~0.13) termed as fatigue endurance limit divided by ultimate tensile strength in stress amplitude were comparable to the similar BMG prepared by high pure raw materials.
