Abstract Conventional tungsten alloy core materials struggle to meet the dual requirements of high-speed penetration and post-penetration damage effects due to defects such as poor plasticity and susceptibility to "mushrooming effect". In recent years, tungsten particle-reinforced Zr-based bulk metallic glass composites (Wp/Zr-BMGCs) have demonstrated significant potential in armor-piercing fragmentation core materials, owing to their high strength, superior hardness, favorable plasticity, and unique self-sharpening and energy release effects during penetration processes. However, the engineering applications of Wp/Zr-BMGCs remain hindered by challenges including insufficient understanding of penetration and post-penetration damage mechanisms, imperfect dynamic constitutive models, and complex fabrication processes. Based on the fundamental characteristics of Wp/Zr-BMGCs, this paper investigates the synergistic enhancement mechanism of strength and plasticity in tungsten particles within the composite, along with factors influencing the penetration mechanical behavior. Based on the fundamental characteristics of Wp/Zr-BMGCs, this study elucidates the synergistic enhancement mechanism of strength-plasticity in tungsten particles within the composite and identifies key factors influencing their penetration mechanical behavior. It systematically reviews research advancements in armor-piercing penetration and post-penetration damage behavior of Zr-based metallic glass composites reinforced with tungsten particles, provides critical analyses on numerical simulations of penetration dynamics and developments in fabrication techniques. Focusing on the application progress of Wp/Zr-BMGCs in armor-piercing fragmentation materials, the paper proposes three strategic research directions for future investigations, offering valuable insights for researchers in this field.
