Abstract

A metallic glass/porous tungsten bi-continuous phase composite was prepared by pressure infiltration whose quasi-static compressive stress and strain to macroscopic failure are much higher than those of all the previous tungsten-reinforced metallic glass matrix composites. It deserves to be mentioned that because of its high-yield strength and high elastic strain limit, metallic glass seems to be used as the reinforcement to strengthen the crystalline materials in the bi-continuous phase composite materials.
