Abstract

The notch fracture toughness of Fe75Mo5P10C8.3B1.7monolithic bulk metallic glass (BMG) and Fe77Mo5P9C7.5B1.5and Fe79Mo5P8C6.7B1.3BMG matrix composites with α-Fe as reinforcing phase, fabricated by suction mould casting, were evaluated. It was found that the monolithic BMG has a toughness of 27 MPa m1/2, while the Fe77Mo5P9C7.5B1.5BMG composite reinforced by single α-Fe dendrite phase exhibits a higher toughness of nearly 40 MPa m1/2. However, for the Fe79Mo5P8C6.7B1.3alloy with more dendrites, the toughness decreased up to 25 MPa m1/2. Microstructure investigation reveals that the simultaneous formation of Fe-Mo-P hard brittle phase apart from α-Fe dendrites in the Fe79Mo5P8C6.7B1.3alloy is the reason for the degradation of the fracture toughness.
