Metallic glasses (MGs) have poor ductility, and due to the lack of atomic periodicity and microstructure, MGs mechanical properties cannot be controlled the same way as in crystalline materials. One approach to enhance ductility of MGs lies in introducing ductile nanometre-to-micrometre-size crystalline phases into a glass. This method has proven to be an effective way to improve the mechanical properties of such composites, particularly their plastic formability. We present a real time in-situ high-energy x-ray diffraction study of phases evolution during a controlled rapid-heating treatment, imposed at a rate ranging from ~100-1000 K/s, and subsequent cooling of a Cu-Zr-Al metallic glass. We combine the synchrotron measurements with in-situ heating in TEM and with atom-probe tomography analysis of the final composite microstructures. The formation of crystalline phases beneficial to the ductility are clearly resolved and conditions under which these phases develop are formulated. We thank the DFG, contracts Ka-3209/9-1 and HE 7225/1-1, for funding.
