Abstract
The tensile properties of brass (Cu-30% Zn)-nickel base metallic glass (MBF-35 Metglas) laminates have been investigated. Laminates were prepared by soldering these constituents together with a Pb−Sn alloy. The metallic glass exhibited an enhanced tensile ductility in the metal matrix environments, and such enhanced ductility depended on the metal matrix strength and elongation. Multiple shear bands have been observed in the metallic glass ribbon with enhanced tensile ductility. The failure modes of the laminates have been analysed based on stress-strain concentration concepts, following failure of the glass. The results were consistent with the experimental observations.
