Mechanical and corrosion behaviour of as-cast and annealed Zr60Cu20Al10Fe5Ti5 bulk metallic glass

► The hardness and reduced Young's modulus increase upon annealing at 648 K ► The crystallization increases the H/Er ratio, which is indicative of the wear resistance. ► Annealing shifts the corrosion potential towards more cathodic values. ► Annealing improves the resistance to pitting in simulated body fluid.
