For the fully amorphous alloy and specimen with fine crystallites the fatigue crack initiationoccurred on the surface. For the specimen with larger crystallites the crack originated from a big broken crystallitenear the surface. The average striation spacing on amorphous area is much larger than that on the crystallite.Crack initiation occurred at the crystallites is due to that the brittle crystallites broke easily under cyclic deformationcondition. The fine crystallites seemed to be protruded from the amorphous matrix and some bulges appeared onthe surface of specimen with fine crystallites under cyclic loading.展开更多
