A bulk metallic glass (BMG) composite with large tensile ductility and work‐hardening capability (see figure) was developed by applying the “transformation‐induced plasticity” concept to amorphous alloys. The current approach is not believed to be limited to the current BMG composite but could promote ductility in other BMG systems, offering a new paradigm for developing BMGs with improved ductility as practical engineering materials.
