Influence of cyclic loading on the onset of failure in a Zr-based bulk metallic glass

Abstract: Samples of Zr 62.5 Cu 22.5 Fe 5 Al 10 bulk metallic glass are subjected to uniaxial compression. Comparison of tests in monotonic loading and cyclic loading (repeated loading to the onset of plasticity, then unloading) shows that the compressive plasticity of the glass is drastically reduced under cyclic loading. It is argued that this effect arises from stress reversal accelerating the concentration of shear on a dominant shear band. The link with compression-compression fatigue results, and the consequences … Show more

“…The oscillating-load mode used for the tests in the present work is significantly more destructive than sliding wear. This is consistent with earlier work showing that low-cycle fatigue severely reduces the flow stress of a BMG sample compared to continuous loading 56 : only 10‒15 loading cycles led to mechanical failure. The strong effect of cyclic loading was attributed to the inhomogeneous distribution of internal stresses and the amplitude of elastic-strain-driven reverse shear on active shear bands upon unloading 57 .…”

“…On solidification of the melt, they are typically formed either in the shape of 10 1 -10 2 lm thick ribbons by rapid solidification onto a rotating Cu wheel [2] or in bulk shape of 10 0 -10 2 mm thick rods by Cu mold casting [6]. The cooling rate of the melt spinning technique attains 1 MK/s.…”

“…(a)). This effect may also be responsible for rapid decrease in the flow stress upon low cycle fatigue tests . This result was interpreted using the notion of microplastic events occurring beneath the contact at sub‐yield loads and, at least in the case of cyclic loading, suggests that these microplastic events favor a stiffer glassy structure with higher density .…”
