The effect of severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) on the structure and plastic tensile properties of two Zr-based bulk metallic glasses, Zr 55.7 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 Co 8.3 and Zr 64 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 , was investigated. The compositions were chosen because, in TEM investigation, Zr 55.7 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 Co 8.3 exhibited nanoscale inhomogeneity, while Zr 64 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 appeared homogeneous on that length scale. The nanoscale inhomogeneity was expected to result in an increased plastic strain limit, as compared to the homogeneous material, which may be further increased by severe mechanical work. The as-cast materials exhibited 0.1% tensile plasticity for Zr 64 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 and Zr 55.7 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 Co 8.3 . Following two rotations of HPT treatment, the tensile plastic strain was increased to 0.5% and 0.9%, respectively. Further testing was performed by X-ray diffraction and by differential scanning calorimetry. Following two rotations of HPT treatment, the initially fully amorphous Zr 55.7 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 Co 8.3 exhibited significantly increased free volume and a small volume fraction of nanocrystallites. A further increase in HPT rotation number did not result in an increase in plastic ductility of both alloys. Possible reasons for the different mechanical behavior of nanoscale heterogeneous Zr 55.7 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 Co 8.3 and homogeneous Zr 64 Ni 10 Al 7 Cu 19 are presented.
