Bulk metallic glasses possess excellent mechanical properties such as high strength

high elastic limit and unique thermoplastic forming properties.Based on the designed double-cantilever probes

a micro-force sensor can be fabricated from bulk metallic glasses.By using the prepared micro-force sensor under microscopy

in situ bending testing of microsized specimen can be quickly obtained.The test principle of the micro-force sensor is very simple

and it doesn’t need additional testing circuit.Besides

the micro-force sensor has the characteristics of good linearity

high repeatability

large measurement range

and so on.
