Abstract The damage characteristics of Zr41Ti14Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass under planar shock wave have been investigated by firing aluminum projectiles using a two-stage light gas gun. The SEM results show that radial and symmetric cracks formed on the shocked plane of the sample at the impacted location by aluminum projectile at the velocity of 2.7 km·s–1. Parallel shear crack/bands in the sublayer under the shocked plane were formed. For a better understanding of the response features under shock wave, hypervelocity impact tests with conventional sphere aluminum projectiles were carried out. Besides the same adiabatic shear crack/bands and crack propagations, craters were formed and lamination cracks occurred.
