Cu 47 Ti 34 Zr 11 Ni 8 , Cu 47 Ti 33 Zr 11 Ni 8 Fe 1  and Cu 47 Ti 33 Zr 11 Ni 8 Si 1  bulk glassy alloys were prepared by injection copper mold casting. Mechanical properties, glass-forming ability, thermal stability and microstructural characteristics of as-cast rods were investigated. Calorimetric studies indicate a beneficial role of small Si or Fe addition on the thermal stability of Cu–Ti – Zr –Ni bulk glassy alloys. Compression tests reveal fracture strengths of 2040 to 2190 MPa, Young’s moduli of 100 to 109 GPa and elastic strains up to 2.4 %. The Si-containing glassy alloy exhibits a plastic elongation of 2.2%. The significant increase in plasticity observed for the Si-containing alloy is due to a special bimodal composite structure consisting of nano-scaled Cu crystals homogeneously dispersed in the bulk metallic glass matrix. The increase of the global plasticity can be explained by the formation of multiple shear bands that make the glassy alloy resistant to crack propagation.
