A dedicated fatigue pre-cracking method, performed successively under mode II and mode I, has been set up to initiate and propagate a crack close to the notch plane, which is particularly difficult to achieve using pure mode I loading on some ultra pure bulk metallic glasses, free from oxygen contamination. This method, was applied to a pure Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 (at.%) amorphous alloy, and allowed successful pre-cracking and reliable measurement of the apparent mode I fracture toughness.
