Compressive deformation behaviors of tungsten fiber reinforced Zr-based metallic glass composites

Subjected to a wide range of strain rates, the compressive deformation and fracture behavior at different temperatures of tungsten fiber reinforced Zr-based metallic glass composites (BMGC) were investigated. Upon increasing temperature, the compressive strength decreases, accompanied with reduced elasticity and enhanced plasticity. In combination with fracture analysis, the effects of temperature, applied strain rate, and the reinforcement of tungsten fiber were explicitly described.
