Abstract
This study measured the notch toughness of Zr- and W-based thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs), and compared the results with those data obtained from crystalline Ti and TiN thin films as well as bulk metallic glass (BMG). Deflection testing was conducted using microcantilevers fabricated by focused ion beam machining. The resulting load vs. deflection curves revealed that Zr-based TFMG, BMG, and Ti films exhibited non-linear curves after yielding, which represented the ductile deformation characteristics. Higher notch toughness values of 3.84 and 5.13Â MPam for Zr- and W-based TFMGs, respectively, than TiN (2.15Â MPam) and Ti (0.74Â MPam) films were obtained. Thus, at micro-scales, metallic glasses present relatively better fracture behavior than do crystalline materials. This paper presents a direct comparison of works related to the notch toughness of amorphous and crystalline materials.
