  • Abstract
    In the present study, fatigue tests were conducted on a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass (BMG), BMG-11 (Zr–10Al–5Ti–17.9Cu–14.6Ni, atomic percent), in air and vacuum to elucidate the possible environmental effects. In air, the fatigue endurance limit and the fatigue ratio were found to be 907 MPa and 0.53, respectively. These values are better than many conventional high-strength crystalline alloys. Unexpectedly, the fatigue lifetimes in vacuum were found to be lower than in air. Additional testing indicated that dissociation of residual water vapor to atomic hydrogen in the vacuum via a hot-tungsten-filament ionization gauge, and subsequent hydrogen embrittlement of the BMG-11, could have been a factor causing the lower fatigue lifetimes observed in vacuum.
