The mechanical property of Zr56Co28Al16 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under compression test at room temperature was investigated. The alloy exhibited high fracture strength of approximately 2136 MPa and a pronounced plastic strain of 10.2%. No strainhardening behavior was observed. The evolution of the morphology of the shear bands on the lateral surface of the as-cast samples was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The plasticity can be attributed to the formation and interaction of multiple shear bands during deformation. The crystallization behavior was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates.The crystallization behavior research of this alloy indicates that the precipitation of the B2-ZrCo phase may be further utilized to promote the ductility of the ZrCoAl BMG composites.
