The effects of high pressure (up to 5 GPa) on the mechanical properties of a typical Zr41 Ti14 Cu12.5 Ni10 Be22.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) have been investigated. It is found that the high-pressure pretreatment at room temperature can significantly improve the mechanical performance of the BMG. Particularly, the compressive plasticity of the BMG can be increased as large to as 12% by 4.5 GPa pressure pretreatment. The origin of the pressure effect on mechanical properties is studied. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
