Anisotropic tensile properties of tungsten fiber reinforced Zr based metallic glass composites

The tensile properties and deformation behaviors of Zr based metallic glass composites containing different tungsten fiber orientations were investigated. The angles (θf) between tungsten fiber orientation and loading axial direction are 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°, respectively. The results show that the strength and the failure modes vary with θf. The tensile strength of the composite decreases as the θf increases. The tensile strength...
