Abstract

The authors systematically investigated the effects of tungsten fiber on failure mode as well as deformation and fracture mechanisms in tungsten fiber-reinforced Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5 bulk metallic glassy composite under uniaxial compression at room and high temperatures. At room temperature, the failure mode of the composite changes from shear fracture to longitudinal splitting failure with increasing fiber volume fraction. Similar to the observations in monolithic metallic glasses, the shear fracture angle of the composite is approximately equal to 39∼40 deg, indicating that the Mohr-Coulomb criterion is suitable to give the critical shear fracture condition of the composite. When the compression tests were performed below the glass transition temperature of Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5 metallic glassT g, the deformation behavior of the composite strongly depends on the strain rates and the test temperature, which is quite similar to the deformation behavior of monolithic metallic glasses in the supercooled liquid region. The corresponding failure mode of the composite changes from shear or splitting fracture to bending failure with decreasing strain rate or increasing test temperature. The failure modes at the temperature nearT g are mainly controlled by the metallic glass matrix due to the decrease in its viscosity at high temperature. Based on these multiple failure modes, the effects of test temperature and tungsten fiber volume fraction on deformation and fracture mechanisms are summarized.
