Abstract

A Zr-based metallic glass matrix composite with 40 vol% tungsten fiber reinforcement was loaded step by step. After each loading step, shear-band patterns and fracture surface were observed. The results show that shear bands, cracks, and voids form during plastic deformation, and they exhibit different feature characteristics at various loading stages. As reinforcement, the tungsten fiber substantially affects the deformation and fracture processes of the composite.
