Isochronal (= linear heating) measurements of the shear viscosity below the glass transition of bulk and ribbon glassy Pd 40 Cu 30 Ni 10 P 20 samples differing ∼10 4 ‐fold in the production quenching rates have been performed. It has been found that heating up into the supercooled liquid region followed by slow cooling leads to a significant structural relaxation‐induced viscosity increase upon subsequent testing. This increase, however, is not truly irreversible and the viscosity can be fully recovered (= decreased) by fast quenching from the supercooled liquid state. The effect is nearly independent of whether ribbon or bulk samples are used despite the fact that those latter are notably denser. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
