Deformation behavior on a ZrAlNiCu bulk metallic glass containing 10 vol%ZrC particles were measured using neutron diffraction. Elastic deformation behavior under uniaxial tensile loading can be predicted by the Self-Consistent model. Higher strength in compressive deformation in this sample is originated from the thermal tensile residual stresses, and from the phase stresses transferred to the metallic glass matrix which are 5% less than the applied stresses under uniaxial loading.
