Abstract

High-cycle fatigue (HCF) studies were performed on zirconium (Zr)-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs): Zr41.2Ti13.8Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5, in atomic percent. The HCF experiments were conducted using an electrohydraulic machine at a frequency of 10 Hz with a R ratio of 0.1 and under tension-tension loading, where R = σmin./σmax., where σmin. and σmax. are the applied minimum and maximum stresses, respectively. The test environment was air. A high-speed and high-sensitivity thermographic-infrared (IR) imaging system has been used for nondestructive evaluation of temperature evolution during fatigue testing of BMGs. Limited temperature evolution was observed during fatigue. However, no sparking phenomenon was observed at the final moment of fracture of this BMG. At high stress levels (σmax. > 864 MPa), the fatigue lives of Batch 59 are longer than those of Batch 94 due to the presence of oxides in Batch 94. Moreover, the fatigue-endurance limit of Batch 59 (703 MPa) is somewhat greater than that of Bath 94 (615 MPa) in air. The fatigue-endurance limit of Ti-6–4 is greater than this BMG, but Al 7075 has the lowest fatigue life. The vein pattern with a melted appearance were observed in the apparent melting region. The fracture morphology indicates that fatigue cracks initiate from some defects.
