Abstract
We believe this article is of broad interest to the materials science and engineering community. Bulk-metallic glasses (BMGs) are currently considered candidate materials for numerous structural applications. A major limitation in their use as engineering material is the often poor and inconsistent fatigue behavior. Although recently developed BMG composites provide one solution to this problem, fatigue remains a main issue for monolithic metallic glasses. The authors report unexpectedly high fatigue resistance in a monolithic Pd-based glass arising from extensive shear-band plasticity, resulting in a very rough and periodic “staircase” crack trajectory. The research both reveals a unique mechanism in fatigue of a monolithic metallic glass and demonstrates that this mechanism mitigates previous limitations on its use as an engineering material.
