This work studied the influence of thermomechanical treatment on the mechanical properties, structure, and crystallization of the Zr65.5Ni16Cu8.5Al10 metallic glass alloy. It established that thermomechanical treatment significantly affects the mechanical properties of the alloy while maintaining its amorphous structure due to the formation of regions of chemical inhomogeneity in the amorphous matrix. In addition, shear deformation affects the initial crystallization of the alloy. As a result, there is a transition from one-stage crystallization to two-stage crystallization with a strain increase.
